“Shihan Rob Baard is an outstanding teacher whose mastery of Ninjutsu is both rare and authentic. Having trained directly with the masters in Japan, he brings tremendous expertise to every lesson. What sets him apart is his ability to perceive exactly what each student needs and give them the guidance to develop their skills as quickly as possible.
Training with Rob is a life-changing experience. He blends ancient warrior wisdom with modern transformation, guiding students to grow not only in technique, but physically, mentally, and emotionally. His decades of dedication, deep spiritual insight, and passion for teaching make him unmatched. Whether you're new to martial arts or seeking deeper mastery, Rob’s presence and passion are unmatched. He doesn’t just teach Ninjutsu—he lives it.”
“Awesome teacher with many years of experience both here and in studying in Japan under the Japanese Masters. Sensei Rob is a licensed teacher that genuinely cares about all of his students development and wants them all to learn the many aspects of this very effective Martial Art Very Highly Recommended.”
“Having trained and taught in a traditional martial art for nearly 20 years I believed I knew it all. That was before I discovered Bujinkan Ninjutsu through Shihan Rob Baard. What Rob offers goes beyond the boundaries of the physical and delves into the spiritual nature and feeling of each technique.
I find I continually evolve with each new understanding and what I thought I knew before becomes a new lesson with each new insight. This is not just an art but a way of life. You take from it what you choose and each experience of the same is unique.
The lessons taught will literally blow your mind from your previous conventional thinking. For those seeking a truly life art I highly recommend emmersing yourself in Bujinkan Ninjutsu”
“Shihan Rob Baard is a dedicated and amazing teacher. His knowledge and passion for Ninjutsu shows in every lesson. He genuinely cares about his students, and not only does he teach the physical form of the art, but dives into the spiritual and esoteric aspects of the art, showing that the two sides go hand in hand.
Together with real world examples and anecdotes to illustrate the art's techniques and aspects, he shows that Ninjutsu is a way of life, not just a martial art. A genuinely great human being, I could not recommend Rob highly enough.”
“Rob is an amazing teacher, with great passion and knowledge. The lessons he teaches do not apply only to Ninjutsu, but to life in general.”
“Rob is the best teacher and a great person. He has taught me so much about myself. Ninjutsu is a way of life and not like other martial arts.”
“Excellent teacher and environment. 10/10”
