Round Rock Bujinkan is a beginner's group for those who wish study Budo Taijutsu. Our primary goal is to lay down the foundation skills needed for future study. Members work on such skills as proper body alignment, punching, kicking and tumbling. Currently we are focusing on the skills set forth by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi in the Tenchijin Ryaku No Maki (Heaven, Earth and Man Strategy Book) and his book "Stick Fighting".

Our group is ideal for those who are just starting their Budo Taijutsu training or wanting to refine their basic skills.
