Head Instructor

Scott Schulze

Scott began his Bujinkan training in 1989 moving through several different Dojo's before settling down under the instruction of Ed Lomax.

Since his initial tutelage under Ed, Scott has been very fortunate to receive training under a plethora of different instructors including Hatsumi Sensei, Nagato Sensei, Tim Bathurst and Sveneric Bogsater to name just a few.

Scott continues to travel to Japan and regularly attends training there twice a year on average. When in Japan Scott trains with Hatsumi Sensei, Nagato Sensei, Oguri Sensei, Seno Sensei, Noguchi Sensei, Someya Sensei and others if time permits.

In 2004 Scott was nominated for 10th Dan by 3 Shihan: Nagato Sensei, Ed Lomax and Tim Bathurst. The nominations were accepted by Hatsumi Sensei.

In 2009 Scott was nominated for Bujinkans highest rank.

Scott has always been a big advocate of getting his students to experience the wonders of training in Japan, and is constantly pushing his students to save up and go over there.

Assistant Instructors

I originally started training in the Bujinkan with Scott in 2002 while I was studying as an undergrad at University. With Scott’s support I was able to develop a solid base in the basics of ninjutsu. In 2004 I moved to Canada were I had the opportunity to train at a Canadian Bujinkan dojo. In 2008, I returned to Adelaide and continued my training with Scott.

In 2010, I had fulfilled a dream to travel to Japan with Scott and four other guys from our dojo and train with the head instructors in the Bujinkan, including the Grand Master himself, Hatsumi Maasaki. In ten days, we were able to train with Hatsumi Sensei, Seno Sensei, Nogouchi Sensei and Nagato Sensei as well as see many fantastic sights in and around Tokyo. The entire trip was awesome fun and I am looking forward to going again in the near future.

I enjoy training with Scott in the dojo not only because of the quality of the instruction, but because of the friendly and welcoming learning environment.  Training has made me more disciplined and confident in my approach to life including work and study. Most importantly, I have developed some very strong friendships with those at the dojo. I am currently working and continuing my studies at university and with the pressures it places on me, training is a great stress relief and something I look forward to every week.

I began my training in my late teens, and have continued on and off again for most of the last decade. In my travels I have trained in Dojos throughout Western Canada, The Uk, Europe and Australia. I have been through over ten schools worldwide, and had the privilege of meeting some incredible people.

Last Year I made two trips two Japan to learn under the Grand Master Hatsumi Masaaki and his highest students.

We are a close knit, friendly group, and as in the past, I have found a new home and family in the local Bujinkan. It’s a way of life, building relations, confidence, experience and discipline.

Training has enriched my life, and I can’t imagine ever giving it up. “Whatever path I take, whichever roads I roam, As long as there’s a Bujinkan, I’ll always have a home.”

I started training in martial arts at age 17. I initially studied karate; however I was always intrested in many various martial arts. I then moved onto kickboxing during my early years in the security industry before starting my training under Scott Schulze in 2007.

With over 7 years in the security industry at many diferent hotels, clubs, busineses and verious events I have found that training has enriched not just my work but all aspects of life including study, physical and mental conditioning. 

I have traveled twice to Japan in 2009 and 2010 and had the priviledge to learn from Grandmaster Hatsumi as well as Nagato sensei, Seno sensei, Noguchi sensei & Oguri Sensei.

While my training has significntly contributed to my work I continue to train because in the end its all about having fun and learning alot along the way.
