About
My name is Doug Wilson, originally from the US (CA). I have been studying martial arts for almost 30 years, 20+ of those years in the Bujinkan. I have spent 14 of those years in Japan training at the Hombu Dojo. I act as a main interpreter for the Hombu Dojo and have co-translated the above books by Hatsumi Soke, released by Kodansha International. I feel that the time is right to provide my acquired information to the Bujinkan public about training in Japan. I guess I can say from my unique position and close proximity to Soke, I can provide a perspective that most can not. Here, I will post what I have recently learned, translated, experienced, and interpreted as well as been told to say. Some may find the content to be too direct or controversial. It is not meant to be, it is the truth provided in a “zero” way to those people who are interested in hearing it. It is not a place designed to draw fire from those who live online, expending energy arguing about things that mean nothing. I am a student of Hatsumi Soke and this is MY perspective. I hope to provide an insight to the dedicated practitioners of Hatsumi Soke’s Budo and the Bujinkan.

Doug,
Since your going to be in the states anyway, if you should happen to drop Angie’s, near St. Louis, MO and talk about the Bujinkan, I’m convinced people would drop by, watch and listen.

Missed you in Japan, had to leave after Nagato’s & Soke’s classes on Sunday — but I’ll catch you in Granite Bay/Sacramento!

Great Seminar in San Diego. Thanks Doug.
Hi Doug,
It was great to see you and your family at the Granite Bay/Sacramento seminar. As always, I enjoyed the excellent training and your perspective on our art. Your skill and knowledge as a translator for Hatsumi Sensei really shows. The phrase that I keep going over in my mind since the seminar is “You must have something to get nothing, and you must have nothing to get something.”
It is so interesting to see things come full circle in the Bujinkan. It has been a long way since those early days at the Stockton Dojo, and yet, while things have changed, somehow they are also the same.
Best,
Kevin
