Tenchu Combat Concepts 天誅武道 is a martial arts school based in Rugby, Warwickshire in the United Kingdom.

The Dojo was started by Jamie Seal (8th Dan) in June 2015 to bring the martial art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (a.k.a Ninjutsu) to Rugby.

What We Get Up To:

Tenchu Combat Concepts Adult Lessons for students aged 14+.

In these lessons we cover the traditional Japanese Martial Art of Ninjutsu but also with concepts of Kali and Combatives applied in relation to Ninjutsu to provide students with a better understanding of realistic application of the art.

We also launched our equipment shop Ningu in 2017.

With Ningu we can provide students with a wide variety of equipment at a discount to help them with their training. We also teach our students how to maintain their equipment and do basic repairs.

We launched Tenchu Shurikenjutsu in 2018 which focuses on teaching no spin Shurikenjutsu (knife throwing).

We have taught at more events than we can keep track of over the years and had a regular spot teaching at the SwordPunk Festival in Rugby.

We had the honour of teaching at the Kaizen Expo in 2018 and have done so for many years since then.

Kaizen is an annual event that we often take students to as it's a great opportunity to network and try out other martial arts styles from some of the best instructors in the UK.

The Real Mini Ninjas launched in January 2019.

These are the lessons for our younger students aged 4 to 9 years old.Sensei Jamie Seal was a bit apprehensive to teach young children Ninjutsu but was convinced by his student Paul Jhalli and it was one of the best decisions we ever made.

The Shadow Warriors lessons are for students aged 10 - 14 years old.

The Shadow Warriors focus on developing more complex technical ability, fitness and sparring in preparation for the student to eventually move into the adult lessons.

Tenchu Kickboxing are our lessons focused on fitness, self defence and pad work.

These lessons are geared towards having fun and getting fit whilst learning martial arts.
