about VCB DOJO
BASED IN TRADITION
VCB Dojo’s methods are based on authentic studies of the Ninja/Samurai. We study systems of combat & self defense from scrolls dating back 900+ years into Japan’s past.
UNCONVENTIONAL APPLICATIONS
Ninja arts were meant to be unconventional. VCB Dojo takes this to the next level with weaponry and training scenarios.
CONCEPTS & PRINCIPLES
Shihan Andrew Stringfellow has distilled his 30+ years of training into a series of concepts and principles to help students understand the foundational basics of budo taijutsu.
With the intention of saving students’ valuable time, Andrew hopes to get them to higher competency, faster.
