The Shizen Taijutsu Dojo (Place of Natural Movement) is an Integrative Wellness Practice, where practitioners are nurtured through various disciplines in cultivating and maintaining a state of wellbeing.

Practitioners are also assisted in the re-integration of movement practise after experiencing impingement and/or injury due to structural imbalance, possibly caused by environmental or accidental factors.

Practitioners are encouraged to pursuit activities, choices and lifestyle that lead to practicing healthy habits on a daily basis and to attain and experience better outcomes (The 6 Pillars).

Our martial arts “practice forms” are born from the ancient battlefields of Japan and incorporate the disciplines of striking, grappling and weapons as tools for survival.

It is the timeless relevance of these traditional patterns that develop the structure, skills and principles needed to address and navigate violence today.

The art we practice is Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu

“The body method for the Warrior Way”.

The Warrior goal past and present, is the healthy cultivation of a strong flexible body and balanced mind. Practice assists people to connect to nature and ground themselves in the moment.
