About me

    After previous experience in Judó, Karate and other martial sports/arts I was lucky enough,  in 1991, to be able to start studying Bujinkan martial arts under guidance of Shihan Lubos Pokorny (founder of Bujinkan Czech Dojo and the 15^th dan Bujinkan Hombu Dojo). I truly consider Mr. Pokorny as one of the best non-Japanese students of Sóke Hatsumi. His perseverance and devotion to study Bujinkan, relation to his teacher Hatsumi and comprehension to his ideas do still remain a great inspiration for me. This is why I am very grateful that I can continuously be a student of him. Thanks to Lubos I am ever more realizing the importance and significance of the teacher-student relationship.

    For the first time I attended the international seminar led by Hatsumi Sóke (Tai Kai) in Spain in 1995. Since 1998 I regularly visit Japan each year in order to study under guidance of both Sóke Hatsumi and his oldest students such as Shihan Oguri, Shihan Noguchi, Shihan Seno and Shihan Nagato. I am also very grateful for the help of Shihan Tomiyama.

    I’ve fallen in love with Bujinkan martial arts and their philosophy. I have been practicing it to become a part of the heritage of martial arts, their traditions and an experience of thousands of years – it has given a meaning to my own existence.
