The instructors are:
Filip Bartos 13 Dan. Bujinkan:
Filip Bartoš has been studying martial art of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu since 1993 and since 1997 he’s been regularly participating in seminars of grandmaster Soke Masaaki Hatsumi in Europe. He’s been also regularly visiting grandmaster Soke Masaaki Hatsumi and other Japanese Shihans in Japan since 2002. Except of Soke Hatsumi, he’s been mostly training with sensei Tetsuji Ishizuka and sensei Kenichi Someya, both of the oldest students of grandmaster Soke Masaaki Hatsumi and also the most reputable masters of this martial art. In the spring of 2004, to the occasion of 33rd anniversary of death of former Soke Toshitsugu Takamatsu and also 33rd anniversary of Masaki Hatsumi becoming the new Soke, there was a special seminar. During this seminar Filip Bartoš succeeded in test for 5th dan – Godan test under Soke Masaaki Hatsumi a he became official teacher of Bujinkan Hombu Dojo. Filip Bartoš is sought out by students of Bujinkan Bugei all over the world, especially because of his specialization in precise mastering of basic techniques Kihon Waza of every single school of Bujinkan, what makes him different from most of the instructors of this martial art.
His seminars are often visited by students from many countries. Filip Bartoš also helped with opening new Dojo’s in Austria, Poland, Macedonia, Estonia, Iran and Egypt. In all of these countries he helped beginning students and teachers to open their Dojo’s and to past them his knowledge by intensive training – his way to welcome them to the family of Bujinkan. The most successful have also passed the Godan test a became official teachers of Bujinkan. Except of these countries, Filip Bartoš also made several seminars in the USA, Spain, the UK, Slovenia and Germany, always asked to teach local students as a teacher of Bujinkan.
Filip Bartoš also participated in training of special task groups and not only in the Czech Republic. Members of these groups are also his regular and personal students.
In 2005, Filip Bartoš and his students established a new Dojo called BOHEMIA BUJINKAN DOJO, where he passes them the idea of Bujinkan, Soke Hatsumi and other Japanese Shihan’s.
He also regularly arranges seminars with teachers from all over the world in his Dojo in order to give his students perspective of other teachers. Since the beginning of his studies of Bujinkan, Filip Bartoš has visited Japan 10x and has been intensively training this martial art.
Filip Bartos is an official member of the Bujinkan Shidoshi-kai Instructors Association.
Jan Jensen, 4 instructor degrees in various FMA/Eskrima styles:
I was born 1977, my dad Jens Jensen was one of the founders of Esbjerg Jiu-Jitsu Klub (in Danmark, EU). He been training Martial arts for more then 10 years and did inspire me to start training Martial Arts when i became older. Besides Jiu-Jitsu, my dad did also train Okinawan Shuri Ryu Karate with Vitus Bilking in Esbjerg Karate Klub.
When i became 17 years old (in 1994), i started training Okinawan Shuri Ryu Karate (My teachers where at first Ole and later on Brian), i keept training that for a year until i did meet some Ju-Jutsu (it was a mix of Karate, Judo and Aikido) guys on a workshop i was at and i liked their style a lot better at the time, since it had not just standing fighting. But there was just as much focus on grappling and ground fight, my teacher within Ju-Jutsu was Carsten Ettrup (5 x Danish Champ and Vice World Champ). I did train as much as possible at the time, every time they had a class i would join it, so i was there nearly every day. I did train for around 4 years or more there…..
When i stopped with Ju-Jutsu, i tried some Full Contact Kick-boxing.
Then i decided i wanted something more streetwise (and not so much sports), so i made my training group into a Bujinkan training group. I did train many years within Bujinkan under guys like Jim Karstensen 4 dan. (RIP). Since he moved to Esbjerg (my home town in Denmark) and was teaching me there….
I did earn a rank of 5 Kyu within Bujinkan (Green Belt), my instructor within Bujinkan where direct student of Soke Hatsumi…..
When i was training in Bujinkan under Jim Karstensen, then i did also run a local tv station, which would broadcast our training (shows) out to all of Esbjerg City. I used a Linux Server to broadcast with and been told that the setup i made was one of a kind….
Currently i live in the Philippines and have been living here for several years now…
I got my Master 1 Degree Black Belt under Master Jhun Dacayana in the Dacayana Eskrima System which i got down here in Cebu City and i am at instructor level within the Villasin Balintawak Style, i was a direct student of Grandmaster John Villasin (the son of FMA legend GGM. Atty. Jose Villasin). GM. John Villasin does not hand out certificates, but just tells the student that he is at instructor level (i was 1 out of 2 who made instructor level under GM. John Villasin).
Besides that i also hold a instructor degree under Grandmaster Nick Elizar within Nickelstick Balintawak, GM. Nick has been known to create some of the best Eskrimadors within Cebu, his unique style is mixing both long range and close range Eskrima together with a modern JKD like look on want works and does not works, he always keeps it real and streetwise with lots of dirty tricks….
After my training with GM. Nick i did continue with Henry Jayme (VMA/direct student of Teofilo), i gained my 4 th. Instructor degree under Henry Jayme and currently i do still train with Henry, while i also started training with GM. Diomades. GM. Diomades is not very known, but even that he Dojo is small he already made two students that did win the WM (Sports FMA).
