Dayton, Ohio USA
A Three Day Event at the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo featuring Nagato Sensei
Nagato Sensei in Dayton, Ohio, USA
Nagato Sensei has agreed to visit the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo Martial Arts School from Friday, May 30, to Sunday, June 1, 2025, to teach a three-day seminar. This unique opportunity will allow participants to experience Nagato Sensei’s Taijutsu and instruction in a dojo environment similar to that of training in Japan. The event is limited to 120 Bujinkan attendees. The smaller event size ensures a more focused and engaging experience, as distractions are minimized. The smaller venue - in a traditional dojo setting - will foster a personalized experience for attendees, allowing Nagato Sensei to teach and interact with participants directly (something not always feasible at larger events). Dayton is honored to host Nagato Sensei in 2025 and looks forward to a successful event with the Bujinkan community.

Who is Nagato Sensei?
Toshiro Nagato is a Japanese Bujinkan Daishihan who has been training under Hatsumi Soke for more than four decades (48 years in 2024). In 2019, he was awarded Sokeship of the Bujinkan’s Shinden Fudo Ryu (神伝不動流). Nagato Sensei grew up as a practitioner of judo in Japan and in the early 1970's taught judo oversees at the University of Ontario in Oregon. After returning to Japan in the mid 1970’s, he trained and fought in Japanese kickboxing competitions. In the late 1970’s, Nagato Sensei met Hatsumi Soke and began training in the Bujinkan arts. He teaches multiple times a week at the Bujinkan Hombu Dojo and at a Tokyo recreational center in Japan. Nagato Sensei continues his profession of helping patients at his bone setter clinic in Japan. Nagato Sensei last visited Dayton, Ohio in 2021 to teach a Bujinkan Tai Kai for 370+ attendees (link).
“I only learned muto dori the last few years of training with Soke. Too many think it’s grabbing a katana when unarmed. It’s much more than this.” — Nagato Sensei
