Welcome to the Bujinkan Yamaneko Dojo in Reno, Nevada!

​

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu is a traditional and ancient Japanese martial art with a rich and viable history that spans over ten centuries.The Bujinkan (武神館) is an international organization based in Japan and headed by Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi. It is best known for its association with the Ninja due to the inclusion of Ninjutsu (also called Ninpo) in its training. The system taught, called Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu, consists of nine separate martial arts traditions (or ryu) which include six of the Samurai martial arts (or Budo) and three arts of the Ninja.

The Bujinkan Yamaneko Dojo was founded in Tuscon in 1990 by Shihan Prather under full charter from Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. Nevada Shibu Cho David Estorga has studied under Shihan Prather since 1996.  Estorga-sensei has taught in Nevada since 2005 under license from Shihan Prather.
