How to begin
TRAIN UNDER THIS LINEAGE
Kōga-ryū Ninjutsu is taught here as it was transmitted: from Soke Hanshi Stoffel van Vuuren to his son, Dai Soke Shihan Jacques van Vuuren — Sensei Dai — and onward through the sensei of the Black Dragon Society.
Who teaches
SENSEI DAI
Sensei Dai carries the way his father held: the shadow trained first, the heart tested inside it. What his father transmitted was never only fighting — it was a method for becoming someone the art can safely be given to.
Other sensei of the house hold their own dojos and teach the same transmission under the same custody. A student may begin at any seat.
What this asks of you
THE PRICE
Attendance you keep when it is inconvenient. Correction you accept without arguing. Restraint outside the dojo, which is harder than anything inside it.
There is no fast route, no purchased rank, and no grading given for enthusiasm. Rank here is a record of what you can do and what you have been trusted with.
The path
WHITE TO BLACK
White
Structure and honesty. Falling, footwork, breath, the first kata. You learn to be corrected.
Green
Timing and distance. Contact begins in earnest, and with it the discipline of restraint.
Blue
Strategy. Weapons introduced, terrain and deception studied, awareness trained under pressure.
Brown
Responsibility. You begin to teach beneath you, and your errors stop being only your own.
Black
Custody. The art is held in trust: carried without ego, transmitted without performance.
A few, over a lifetime, are turned toward the light — the way of 龍 Lòng.
