The Shinobi Kai Ninpo Bugei Dojo
Sensei Peter Brown was one of the first people in England to study Ninjutsu, joining the Shadows of Iga In 1981 and establishing the Ninjutsu South Coast Dojo.
In 1982 Peter continued his study of Ninjutsu under Sensei Bo Munthe (Sweden), later joining the Bujinkan Ishizuka Dojo. During the early 1980's Peter regularly travelled to Sweden to further his study of Ninjutsu.
The first genuine UK Ninjutsu seminar was held under the tuition of Sensei Bo Munthe and Peter was instrumental in organising this event. In addition Peter helped set up the EBNS (European Bujinkan Ninjutsu Society) along with Graham Barton and Brian McCarthy.
Peter was awarded his (Ninjutsu) Shodan in 1986 making him of the first (UK) students to achieve a Dan grade. His second Dan was awarded in 1987 and he remains one of the few (UK) instructors to have jumped from 2nd Dan to 4th Dan.
Sensei Shoto Tanemura's first UK seminar was in 1987 and Peter was one of the few Bujinkan students invited to the seminar, leading to joining the Genbukan in 1988.
Sensei Peter Brown and his senior instructor, Mark Lutman, were the first two people in England to be graded by both masters.
The Shinobi Kai Ninpo Bugei Dojo was opened in 1991 making it one of the first full-time Ninjutsu Dojo in the country.
No one is ever turned away from the doors of a Shinobi Kai Dojo on the grounds of affiliation; all true students of Ninjutsu are welcome.
The Shinobi Kai continues to spread the word of Ninjutsu through its affiliate student and Dojo scheme for individuals, instructors, other Dojo and associations, as well as those purely seeking knowledge of this most ancient of arts.
