TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MARTIAL ARTS
|
FIRST TRAINING IS ALWAYS FREE OF CHARGE.
WELCOME! |
BUJINKAN STOCKHOLMAt Bujinkan Stockholm, we practice traditional Japanese martial arts and self-defence through the nine martial traditions of the Bujinkan (武神館), commonly associated with Ninjutsu (忍術).
Our training offers a broad and rewarding practice that develops both body and mind. Students learn unarmed techniques—including strikes, throws, joint locks, escapes, and groundwork—as well as the use of a wide range of traditional Japanese weapons such as the sword, staff, and naginata. You will encounter disciplines such as: What we train
Rather than relying on strength or speed, our training focuses on timing, balance, distance, and efficient body movement. The techniques come from historical martial traditions and are explored through movement, adaptation, and understanding rather than simply memorising fixed forms.
Training is suitable for adults of all experience levels. Whether you are looking to improve your coordination, mobility, confidence, and fitness, explore traditional Japanese martial arts, or develop practical movement and self-protection skills, you are welcome to train with us. Classes are taught in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where each student progresses at their own pace. No previous martial arts experience is required. We look forward to welcoming you to Bujinkan Stockholm on Södermalm. |

About the Classes
Foundation
Our Foundation class focuses on the fundamental principles of Bujinkan, including body movement, posture, balance, distancing, and core techniques. It is ideal for beginners and equally valuable for experienced practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of the basics.
Beyond Basics
Open to all grades and experience levels. These classes combine kihon (基本, fundamentals), kata (型, forms), partner exercises, henka (変化, variations), and practical applications. Depending on the instructor and training theme, classes may also include traditional weapons.
Weapons
Dedicated to the study of traditional Japanese weapons used within the Bujinkan. Training may include the katana (刀, Japanese sword), bō (棒, long staff), hanbō (半棒, half staff), jō (杖, short staff), naginata (薙刀, Japanese halberd), and other classical weapons while reinforcing the same body mechanics and principles used in unarmed techniques. Open to all experience levels.
Youth Class
Our Youth Class is held every Friday from 17:00–18:00 for participants aged 12–15. The class is led by Adam Speicher, 3rd Dan (参段).
The autumn term runs from August 14 to December 11. New participants are welcome to join until September 4; after this date, new admissions are closed until the following term.
The class focuses on building a safe and supportive training environment while exploring traditional Japanese martial arts. Students learn body movement, falling techniques, escapes, blocks, strikes, kicks, and eventually traditional weapons training.
Through training together, participants develop coordination, agility, confidence, self-control, and responsibility, while learning how to cooperate and support their training partners. When they are ready, students are welcome to continue their training in the adult classes.
