Will training at Bujinkan NYC Benevolent Heart Dojo make me fit?
Quality of movement and accuracy of timing are two of the focal points of training at the Bujinkan NYC Benevolent Heart Dojo. Therefore, practitioners learn to eliminate extraneous movements and learn how to be as efficient as possible. Efficient movement and accurate timing eliminates the need for strength and speed in one’s techniques. The only muscles one should build from training in the school, is lower body muscles and posture related muscles. Proper training at the school will help increase your flexibility. Independent cardio and muscle training is recommended of all practitioners. Those who are interested in training primarily for fitness should look elsewhere for fitness focused martial arts, sports, or programs. Fitness orientated martial arts are not effective fighting styles; wasted movement and inefficiency are not the habits one wants to learn in dealing with a life threatening situation. Sport martial arts are a lot of fun and can often be useful in keeping you in shape
