Ancient Arts, Modern Times
The Martial Arts of Japan are still as relevant today as they were centuries ago.
Born and bred on the battlefield, they are designed for armed & unarmed combat and proven again and again over the ages.
At the Pittsburgh Bujinkan Dojo, we have spent decades not only studying and teaching these ancient traditions, but we have also brought them forward to today with applications and concepts for the modern age.
Welcome to the Pittsburgh Bujinkan Taka Seigi Dojo, where we’ve been honing our skills in traditional Japanese Samurai Martial Arts for over 25 years. Our dojo offers you the rare opportunity to learn practical self-defense techniques that will empower you to protect yourself and others.
By studying with us, you’ll be exposed to the rich cultural heritage and history of authentic Japanese martial arts. This experience will not only develop your physical abilities but also enhance your mental strength and emotional well-being.
Our classes are exclusively for adults, ensuring that our subject matter and class sizes remain focused on your needs. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, we welcome you to join us in discovering the art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.
What Makes Us Different?

We Believe in Principle Based Instruction
Instead of trying to memorize technique after technique in the hopes that you MIGHT remember what to do, when and IF the time comes to defend yourself, we teach via Principle Based Instruction.
This means that you learn the Principle, or the WHY behind the technique.
And when you understand the WHY, and you understand the Principle, then you learn faster and you retain the concepts better. Techniques are born from Principles.
“The person who understands a martial arts principle
can spawn a 1000 techniques…”
You are going to learn how to be Fearless in Your Actions and how to Carry Yourself with Poise and Grace in every interaction.
Studying the martial arts can give you a Healthy Lifestyle to be sure, but they can give you so much more. They can give you a “Command Presence”
What do I mean by that? It is that Poise and Unflappable Sense of Presence that is instantly recognizable whenever you walk into a room. It is a feeling of Being Calm Under Stress and Having Strength Under Pressure. Being Centered. Having Balance in your life. Isn’t that what you want for yourself?
The Confidence you earn from studying martial arts, and the Results Oriented Mindset it creates and how you learn to carry yourself in the Dojo will be mirrored in every aspect of your life!
This is about Being the Best Version of Yourself you can be. It is about Polishing and Honing Who You Are, and it is all about How This Translates to Every Facet of Your Life!
The study of Martial Arts is the only way we know that can instill this kind of presence into oneself.
