Gary Phillips

Gary teaches Bujinkan Ninjutsu.

Gary is a Christian, Husband, Martial Artist. Studying the Martial Arts of China and Japan since a young teenager, he was schooled in Shaolin Gong Fu and Qigong, and continues with this study in Chinese arts presently. Always interested in the Ninjutsu of Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, his opportunity came and in 2005 he was blessed with a Shidoshi-ho teaching certification from Japan. In 2006 Gary founded the Bujinkan Toudai Dojo (Toudai is Japanese for "lighthouse or lantern"), as a beacon in the sometimes dark and misunderstood world of Martial Art. Now a student of Shihan Charles Collins of the highly respected Bujinkan Taka Seigi Dojo, headed by Shihan Phil Legare, Gary continues on the path of the legendary warriors of Japan.

"The Bujinkan is unlike any other Martial Art organization out there, where making new friends is a common occurence, there is no place for ego in the Bujinkan. Classes are always challenging to each individual, and always welcoming to those who are interested in forging a new path in their life. Kami wa ai de aru."
