Bujinkan Nordic Summer Camp 2026

Join us for an exciting journey of martial arts at the Bujinkan Nordic Summer Camp 2026! 🌲 Located at the beautiful Metsäpirtti Lodge and Campsite in Tuusula, just 20 kilometers from Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport (airport transport provided both ways).

📆 The camp kicks off at 12:00 PM on Monday, July 13th and wraps up by 5 PM on Sunday, July 19th. Enjoy 7 full days of rigorous training and lots of fun! Expect to dive deep into 8-9 hours of daily training as we completely immerse ourselves in the art of Bujinkan! 💪

😌 After the camp, you can unwind with a sauna and a swim on Sunday, so make sure to stick around! During the camp, we'll be practicing both taijutsu and various weapons. Don’t worry if you can’t bring your own, as we have enough for everyone!

🎓 We’re thrilled to announce our senior instructor, Dai Shihan Joseph Adriance, who brings over 60 years of martial arts experience! He trained under Hatsumi-sensei since 1979. Here’s our current line-up of amazing instructors:
