Guidelines for Participation

From the website at http://www.bujinkanpeterboroughdojo.com/:

Bujinkan

The Bujinkan Peterborough dojo will be run by Rick Pridmore. Rick has 15+ years experience in martial arts and is a personal student of Jake Sharpstone (Bujinkan Cambridge).

Rick Pridmore (5th Dan) returned from his first trip to Japan in May 2011, where he was promoted to Godan (5th Dan).

Rick will shorty be taking his second trip to Japan in April.

Peterborough dojo is the sister dojo to Bujinkan Cambridge Dojo run by Shihan Jake Sharpstone (13th Dan) & Ely Bujinkan Dojo run by Rick Pridmore.

Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, headed by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi 34th Grandmaster of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu, is a compilation of a total of nine schools of Japanese Martial Arts with more than nine-hundred years of traceable martial tradition each, three of which are schools of Ninjutsu the rest being of other classical warrior school descent.

The result of this amalgamation is an impressively unique and comprehensive art spanning a vast array of classical & modern weapons as well as unparalleled unarmed combat techniques, stealth, survival and intelligence methods.

Ninjutsu is as relevant today as it was to the citizens of feudal Japan more than 900 years ago. It has helped generations of people not only protect themselves from threats but it builds strength of body and will, just as much as it builds on confidence and motivation.

Muay Thai

Muay Thai Clubs
in Peterborough

Muay Thai (lit. Thai Boxing) is a form of hard martial art practiced in many parts of the world, including Thailand of course, and other Southeast Asian countries. The art is similar to others in Southeast Asia such as: pradal serey in Cambodia, lethwei in Myanmar, tomoi in Malaysia, and Lao boxing in Laos. Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country’s national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art muay boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing.

Muay Thai is referred to as “The Art of the Eight Limbs”, as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai (“nak muay”) thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight “points of contact,” as opposed to “two points” (fists) in Western boxing and “four points” (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.

Like most competitive full contact fighting sports, Muay Thai has a heavy focus on body conditioning. Muay Thai is specifically designed to promote the level of fitness and toughness required for ring competition. Training regimens include many staples of combat sport conditioning such as running, shadowboxing, rope jumping, body weight resistance exercises, medicine ball exercises, abdominal exercises, and in some cases weight training. Muay Thai practitioners typically apply Namman Muay liberally before and after their intense training sessions.

Training that is specific to a Muay Thai fighter includes training with coaches on Thai pads, focus mitts, heavy bag, and sparring. The daily training includes many rounds (3-5 minute periods broken up by a short rest, often 1-2 minutes) of these various methods of practice. Thai pad training is a cornerstone of Muay Thai conditioning which involves practicing punches, kicks, knees, and elbow strikes with a trainer wearing thick pads which cover the forearms and hands. These special pads are used to absorb the impact of the fighter’s strikes and allow the fighter to react to the attacks of the pad holder. The trainer will often also wear a belly pad around the abdominal area so that the fighter can attack with straight kicks or knees to the body at anytime during the round.

Due to the rigorous fighting and training regimen (some Thai boxers fight almost every other week) professional Muay Thai fighters have relatively short careers in the ring. Many retire from competition to begin instructing the next generation of Thai fighters. It is a common myth that Thai boxing causes arthritis, this is not true and is in no way more damaging to the body than other sports such as karate or even running.

Mixed Martial Arts MMA

Mixed Martial Arts | MMA Clubs
in Peterborough

Mixed martial arts: Also known as MMA this martial arts is a combat sport, which combines practical aspects of several martial arts. The emphasis is on actual combat and freestyle competition with few rules.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete. The term may also be used, less correctly, to describe hybrid martial arts styles.

Modern mixed martial arts competition emerged in American popular culture in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Initially based on finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competitors of various arts were pitted against one another with minimal rules or concern for safety. In the following decade, MMA promoters adopted many additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport. Following these changes, the sport has seen increased popularity with pay per view reach rivaling boxing and professional wrestling.

The techniques utilized in mixed martial arts competition generally fall into two categories: striking techniques (such as kicks, knees and punches) and grappling techniques (such as clinch holds, pinning holds, submission holds, sweeps, takedowns and throws). As mixed martial arts has no international sanctioning body, rules may vary between promotions. While the legality of some techniques (such as elbow strikes, headbutts and spinal locks) may vary, there is a near universal ban on techniques such as biting, strikes to the groin, eye-gouging, fish-hooking and small joint manipulation.

Today, mixed martial artists must cross-train in a variety of styles to counter their opponent’s strengths and remain effective in all the phases of combat. For instance, a stand-up fighter will have little opportunity to use their skills against a submission artist who has also trained in take downs. Many traditional disciplines remain popular as ways for a fighter to improve aspects of their game.

Some styles have been adapted from their traditional form, such as boxing stances which lack effective counters to leg kicks and takedowns, or Judo techniques which must be adapted for No Gi competition. It is common for a fighter to train with multiple coaches of different styles or an organized fight team to improve various aspects of their game at once. Cardiovascular conditioning, speed drills, strength training and flexibility are also important aspects of an MMA fighter’s training. Some schools advertise their styles as simply “Mixed Martial Arts”, which has become a genre in itself.

While mixed martial arts was initially practiced almost exclusively by competitive fighters, this is no longer the case. As the sport has become more mainstream and more widely taught, it has become accessible to wider range of practitioners of all ages. Proponents of this sort of training argue that it is safe for anyone, of any age, with varying levels of competitiveness.
