Muhai-Ninpo is a traditional, non-competitive Japanese Martial Arts school, founded in 1996 by David Gagnon, originally from Victoria B.C. Canada. We are a small yet mighty school located in Nevada City California, and Osaka Japan. Run by a husband and wife team, we bring our authentic talents and abilities to each and every class, workshop and individual student.
We take a lot of pride in our school.
Instructor David trained for 10+ years in Japan, under Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi
We are very down-to-earth, friendly, and personable
Lessons are informative but also fun and enjoyable!
Classes are supplemented with Japanese culture lessons such as origami, calligraphy, and music.
The techniques taught come not only from David’s training, but also from real-world experiences he has had.
Classes help improve self-confidence, awareness, fitness, discipline, and more!
