BUSHINDO
UNIVERSITY
Bushindo means:
"Way of the Enlightened Warrior" or
"Enlightened Warrior Path"
Bu- Warrior - (Our definition) One
who has the courage to transcend fear, to be resolved in times of challenge,
demonstrate peace while being able to protect peace.
Shin- Depending how the kanji is written this
can be read as Heart, Mind, Truth,
or Highest Aspect of God. In our training we combine
all four attributes, using the word "Enlightenment" to describe
them. When writing Bushindo we use the kanji character for 'heart' because
the heart is the center of all the teachings. We begin here and end
here in the jeweled heart.
Do- Way or
Path of the Bushin (Warrior with heart).
Do also means willful clarity of mindful purpose and directing of the
divine will.
Martial Arts Master Richard
Van Donk reveals his vision and story behind BushindoTM
The BushindoTM System was founded in order to integrate my 35 years
martial arts knowledge, my experiences with spiritual awakening teachings
including Kriya Yoga from a Himalayan master, and 25 years Body-brain-mind
research including being a NLP Master Trainer into the passion that
drives my life. A simple theme "Make it Better". Also my heart
and the passion that drives my life is the integration of the philosophical
and spiritual sides of the sacred temple arts. I am very interested
in seeing how far a group of individuals can evolve ourselves as human
beings. The studies of brain-mind research, yoga, kundalini research,
sound and light activation of consciousness, meditation practices, body
healing methods and alternative medicine are foremost in my personal
dedication now. Therefore, BushindoTM as a University was born. And
these teachings extracted from the best of the best will be yours very
soon.
What does BushindoTM do for
you?
BushindoTM brings back the temple arts and incorporates a complete system
of integrating the human organism to its fullest state of development.
Based on ancient sacred teachings that I have studied since I was a
young boy, I have synthesized skills of the best of the best from many
systems of studies that have transformed the lives of millions and millions
of people. I have taught several of these systems to others in the past
and achieved great results. By using my 25 years of research into the
science of how the brain/mind stores codes and processes information
to create and understand paradigms of study and forge modeling processes
I am able to help almost anyone duplicate their success at a faster
rate of learning by unifying these sacred arts. Even in my martial art
teachings I break the studies down into 5 categories of training; Physical,
Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Social. To advance yourself as a martial
artist or human being you must enhance each of these levels to lead
a positive and balanced life. Martial Arts for me begins and ends in
Respect.
Future of BushindoTM
Over the next few years we will grow from a web presence offering products,
services, and home studies to a full online university to a brain-mind
research center to an indoor/outdoor year round BushindoTM Martial Arts
training facility to a full live-in Sacred Arts Community of individuals
who are committed to making a difference in ourselves and the world
around us. Designs and plans are now being completed for funding purposes
which may make our dreams a reality sooner.
BushindoTM as a Martial Arts
and Self Empowerment System.
In addition to studying with Soke Hatsumi in the arts of Ninjutsu I
have been studying and teaching with several councils of Grandmaster's.
We gather for a few days or more to share each other's arts. We work
on what really works and what doesn't. We work on what is the same and
what is different. Being exposed to these wonderful masters taught me
many things, made me think and helped me to become a better martial
artist of my own kind. I took the best and threw out the rest. I simplified
and made everything flow better and easier. I made it all more accurate
and precise. I worked on all the angles, distancing and timings of all
these master systems until I discovered a master pattern which I call
the Golden Matrix. What I have worked out seems to be the core of all
movement systems. This will be revealed in my forthcoming book and video
series. BushindoTM is a body-mind-spirit integrated system that will
renew, revitalize, and rejuvenate your life while giving you martial
art skills second to none. Our mission
is to further empower all human beings in their ability to protect and
build their freedoms while increasing their humanity.
All the best, Master Richard J. Van Donk

What
about Ninjutsu?
Many people know me as a senior
practitioner of Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi and the Ninjutsu Bujinkan
teachings. Until this time my web presence and world visibility has
been through the web sitewww.Ninjutsu.com.
All this time I was teaching, consulting to other audiences. I did not
want to mix them. I also have been busy with 9 new books in the works,
DVD's, workbooks, Audio recordings and much more that will be revealed
here one by one as they are to my satisfaction. The teaching have been
tried and tested over many years.
Please know that I am still totally
actively involved in the Bujinkan system of Soke Hatsumi and train with
him at least twice a year many times bringing students with me to Japan.
All of our Ninjutsu rankings come from the Bujinden Hombu dojo in Japan.
On April 2, 04 (Takamatsu Resurrection day) I received a Ju-yondan menkyo
license (equal to 14th dan) in his Budo Taijutsu system from Grandmaster
Hatsumi and my wife Linda received her Judan (10th dan) on that day
as well. Myself and other high level ABD instructors support our Ninjutsu
students worldwide with their Ninjutsu studies with seminars, 3 day
camps, Japan trips, and private lessons. I felt it was important to
distinguish the other teachings I am doing from Ninjutsu and to offer
a wider base of knowledge to students who are interested in improving
their lives from my wide base of studies. We love Ninjutsu! Check out
our study materials that are second to none at www.Ninjutsu.Com
