Beenleigh Martial Arts Dojo:
Instructor: Shihan, Jamie Mac Aninch
Jamie Mac Aninch started his very first training in the same dojo he teaches from today - in Beenleigh - over 30 years ago. The Bujinkan MacAninch Dojo studies the Martial Arts of the Ninja - otherwise known as Ninjutsu - and Samurai.
While many of us have spent our lives building and educating ourselves in our careers, it could be said that Jamie has done the same with his training within the Bujinkan.
Jamie Mac Aninch is a master level instructor (15th Dan, shihan) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and has learnt the martial art directly from Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi, Nagato Sensei and Noguchi Sensei in his many travels to Japan. Jamie has also spent many years living and breathing the Bujinkan art including spending an uninterrupted 8 year period whereby training everyday, conducting private lessons, holding seminars nationally and running his own dojo.
In an effort to pay both the Grandmaster and the Bujinkan the utmost respect, the purity of Jamie’s style is evident in his own teachings. Balancing traditional techniques with adaptations to today’s real-world scenario’s, is where Jamie excels. This shows not only that Jamie understands the importance in keeping the warrior heritage of this art sacred but also its ability to adapt.
