Mark
Lutman
Mark began his study of Martial arts at the age of
eight with his discovery of Judo.
He has also studied Karate, Ju Jutsu, Aikido and Ken
Jutsu before “stumbling” upon Ninjutsu in the early
1980’s and began to train under Sensei Peter Brown of the
Shinobi Kai Ninpo Bugei Dojo. (Formerly Ninjutsu South Coast)
At the time of his discovery he was teaching Judo,
Karate and Ju Jutsu. However he soon realised the depth of this
ancient tradition and began to slowly wind down the Dojo of his
other arts.
As his study of Ninpo Tai Jutsu progressed he was
able to continue his study with Grandmaster Masaaki Hatsumi and
Grandmaster Shoto Tanemura, together with highly experienced and
respected instructors such as Doron Navon, Bo Munthe and Stephen
Hayes.
Mark considers himself to be extremely privileged
to have been graded by Grandmasters Hatsumi and Tanemura and to
have been granted authority to teach by both.
Mark was only the second person in England to have been graded
by Grandmaster Hatsumi and Grandmaster Tanemura.
His study of Ninpo continues under Sensei Peter Brown at the Shinobi
Kai Ninpo Bugei Hombu Dojo in Brighton. In addition he also runs
his own Dojo in Portsmouth and Basingstoke.
Special thanks should be given to the following instructors for
their faith, enthusiasm and courage in encouraging me to expand
and open my mind to the full possibilities of the martial arts.
