Training several times a week is important to anyone’s training. However, the real connections and answers are in Japan only. We strive to maintain this connection through seminars and gatherings throughout the Midwest, both at our dojo and abroad.
Below are some past events we had in the dojo.
Upcoming Events:
Look for to the 2025 Midwest Taikai in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We’ll be there.
Past Events:
Genevieve hosted the 12th Annual Midwest Taikai in 2019!
Paul Masse Seminars
Since 2016, the Blue Water Bujinkan Dojo has co-sponsored 10 seminars featuring Paul Masse in Algonac, Dayton, Chicago, Lexington, Denver, Grand Rapids, outside Boston, and Walpole Island. We were happy to work with the Juyushi Group, Dayton Bujinkan Dojo, and more to make these seminars happen.
Workshops and Celebrations
Since 2015, the Blue Water Bujinkan Dojo hosted workshop seminars with instructors from around the Midwest such as Gabe Logan, Jess Attilli, Charles Gelm, and more.
