Where is the San Francisco Dojo located?
Wherever the instructors and students gather. It is very unusual to find a commercial “storefront” dojo operation in the Bujinkan, in the United States or anywhere else. Hatsumi sensei actively discourages this approach, feeling it tends toward imbalance in a teacher’s life. Even in Japan, the master teachers under Hatsumi sensei’s instruction hold real-world “day jobs”, generally renting space by the hour in some facility to hold classes (sometimes in different locations on different days). Our classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30pm to 10pm at Hwa Rang Kwan Martial Arts Center, 371 5th Street, San Francisco.
