Bujinkan Tenchijin Dojo - YYC

Doug Skurdal

​

I’m not a soldier, police officer, or security professional. I’m simply someone who’s been fortunate enough to study Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu under some of the most skilled and generous teachers in the world.

​

Over the 30+ years of training, I’ve had several opportunities to train directly with Hatsumi Sensei in Japan, and have learned extensively from senior instructors like Bill Atkins and Abi Allen, whose guidance shaped not just how I move—but how I teach (focus on outcomes not income).

​​

My approach is about helping people move better, stay safe, and build confidence at any age or fitness level. Whether you’re starting from scratch or returning after time away, training should feel challenging—but never intimidating.

​​

No egos. No pressure. Just clear instruction, smart movement, and steady progress.
