Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu draws on nine traditional Japanese martial schools. At Rocket City Dojo, the emphasis is on practical awareness, movement, and self-protection—not tournaments or trophies.
Whether you’re new to martial arts or returning to training, you’ll find a serious but welcoming place to learn.
The people behind the training
Choose the teacher, not just the martial art.
Training is personal. Learn more about Bujinkan Rocket City Dojo’s approach, its values and the community you’ll be joining.
“I have studied martial arts for almost 25 years, with over 17 years studying Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. What brought me to the art initially was a fascination with the Ninpo, or ninjutsu aspect. What I found was an incredibly deep martial art that vastly exceeded anything I’d come across before. Not only that, but the connections I’ve made with other practitioners all over the world, makes this art — and community — something truly special. Come train, and let’s learn and improve together!” — Cody McCormack, DaiShihan, Dojo-Cho

What People Are Saying:
“I had always wanted to study this art and was fortunate enough to find this dojo in Huntsville after moving from the Northeast. One of the best decisions I have ever made. The Sensei/instructor is a senior ranked member and extremely well-respected amongst his peers. He travels to Japan twice each year to train with the senior Japanese Sensei. We are encouraged to go, as well, and I took that opportunity in late 2023. We also attend regional and national training opportunities each year. When you see the Japanese Sensei and then and see Cody-Sensei, you realize the apple has landed right next to the tree trunk. I enjoy the instruction and the other members have become close friends. I am looking forward to more years of training and friendship. Make a good decision and check it out.”
“Joining Rocket City Dojo is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have ZERO experience with martial arts and that has never been held against me. I felt welcome and accepted by everyone from the start. Cody-Sensei has the patience of a saint… My coordination is about like an inebriated squirrel, and he’s never been anything less than patient and encouraging. I would definitely recommend this dojo to anyone who’s willing to put in the time and effort to learn an amazing art that’s good for the body, mind and soul.”
“I’ve been training in Bujinkan martial arts for 29 years, so I’ve seen the good, bad, and the ugly. The Bujinkan Rocket City Dojo is one of the few I have total confidence in their dedication and sincerity to quality training. If you choose to train here, you’ll be on a solid path.”
