Bujinkan Budo Taijutso logo

Shidoshi Adrian Jervis (6th Dan)

I started training in Judo at the age of seven, and a few years later also took up Jujutsu. In moving to study at Nottingham University in 1999 I discovered Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and began training first under Richie Blackmore, a student of Keith Porter. After two years, Ilja Hoffmann (now 10th Dan) took over the class. I continued to train with Ilja when he founded the Bujinkan Nottingham dojo. During this time I gained my first dan whilst training at the Honbu dojo in Japan.

In 2008 I moved to Manchester and began regularly training under Shihan Brian Duckers (15th Dan), being awarded my fifth dan by Soke Masaaki Hatsumi during my fourth trip to Japan, and so gaining my Shidoshi (teacher's) license.
