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.
