The Shinobi Village Origin Story
The Shinobi, or Ninja as they are known today, were feudal Japan’s special forces, undertaking specialized military tasks for their lords when no other warriors were capable. Their advanced understanding of the sciences, unique fighting skills, and mastery of the environment produced legends of their supernatural abilities that have endured for centuries….
It is said that the Shinobi gained their training methods from the Tengu (mythical creatures renowned for their physical and fighting prowess), and it is these methods that gave them their inhuman abilities. These same Tengu and their famous shinobi techniques for climbing, leaping, and fighting, are the mysterious architects of this sacred training ground. We here at The Shinobi Village are the custodians of their hallowed training facility.
The Shinobi Village has emerged from the shadows to become the only shinobi (ninja) training centre in the GTA, offering martial arts, parkour, and movement training for practical use in both urban and natural environments. Our secret facility, inconspicuously located amongst normal human businesses in Scarborough, was specifically designed and built to practice the skills and techniques that would be useful to a modern-day shinobi…. skills that once made the shinobi seem superhuman.
Our facility was built by hand out of our passion and love for martial arts, parkour, and movement training. The confidence and freedom gained from learning how to navigate your environment, and turn obstacles into opportunities to improve yourself is something we feel very strongly about sharing with everyone who wants to experience it for themselves.
Check out one of our classes or drop in anytime to train on your schedule!
Parkour is Self-Defence
The ability to escape dangerous situations is the most effective form of self-defence. The shinobi knew this better than anyone. Being able to put obstacles between you and your attacker (or your child and your child’s attacker) is the most reliable way to stay safe in almost any confrontation.

This course is meant to introduce new students to the foundational techniques of our practice; and for experienced practitioners to refine the underlying movements behind all of our techniques. There are a great number of advanced techniques in our art, and studying them all certainly increases the breadth of our knowledge, but honing in on the fundamentals is an opportunity to further develop the underpinning depth in our Taijutsu. This depth carries over to all techniques & related movements, and we can benefit at all skill levels from showing some attention to it's refinement. By the end of this course, you will have have learned some movements to practice on your own, a clear idea of what you need to work on to improve, and resources to review what we covered in the course.
Through not a requirement, it is recommended that people take this course before joining regular Taijutsu classes.
