BUJINKAN HOUSTON DOJO

The Bujinkan Houston Dojo is the oldest in Bujinkan dojo in Texas. Started in 1982 by Dr R. Kelly Hill one of the first black belts in the US, it has remained a center for training in Texas. Mark Harper has been involved in the running of the dojo since 1983 and took over as head instructor for the Dojo in 1989 when he moved it to Gymnastics USA at 10903 Tower Oaks Houston, TX in NW Houston. The email address is bujinkandojo@comcast.net.

 

The new dojo is great almost the same floor size as the old gym but with a harder floor. I bought some mats for hard throws. There is a full kitchen and several day care rooms, a stage and a balcony. The back has a field we can train in and the bayou behind the fence.
	Kids Classes are 7:15 till 8:15 Monday nights taught By Mark Harper and Jessica Harper. Adult classes are from 7:15 till 10:15 Monday nights taught by Shihan Rich Cearley.
