Toronto Bujinkan Koroku Dojo

Fantastic experience: I’ve visited Kokuro Dojo several times, and every experience has been fantastic. Fabio is an amazing teacher who is genuinely passionate about sharing the spirit of Bujinkan and Ninjutsu. He creates an environment where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience. Thank you, Fabio, for setting up the last Taikai with Antonio. It is always a pleasure to meet with the Bujinkan community. If you’re in Toronto and want to be a ninja, I highly recommend checking out Kokuro Dojo. Fabio and the team will help you grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Come to train—you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: The knowledge and training of such a diverse ancient disciplinary artform provided by the highly qualified and skillful Instructors offers a uniquely fun filled and exceptionally engaging experience with other enthusiastic students embarking upon the path of Budo.

Fantastic experience: Friendly attitude, Amazing group of people - knowledgable teacher... easy access to city transportation, parking near by... almost ideal place to train in arts of the ninja / ancient arts of Japanese warriors.

Fantastic experience: I joined Toronto Bujinkan Koroku Dojo 8 months ago and I haven't enjoyed training this much in quite some time. Fabio is highly skilled in his craft. He offers thorough explanations of techniques and ensures that everyone progresses at their own pace. In addition to mastering various techniques, there is a strong emphasis on discipline, respect, and mindfulness. This approach helps improve physical fitness of course, but also has a positive impact on one's mental well-being. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, the training offers something for everyone. The classes are well-structured and cater to individuals of all ages and fitness levels. The community is welcoming and inclusive; the sense of camaraderie and support is palpable! I highly recommend joining - it's more than just a dojo; it's a community where you can challenge yourself, grow as an individual, and forge strong bonds. I am grateful to be a part of this incredible martial arts family. ファビオ せんせい, ありがとう ございます!

Fantastic experience: Being part of this dojo has been very rewarding for me in many ways , Shihan Fabio is a great human being full of knowledge and the students are like my family. If you want to learn real Bujinkan this is the right place to be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing dojo! As a beginner student who's trained at a few different places, the teacher (Fabio), and the other people here are great. Welcoming atmosphere - good humor, and accommodating for students of all levels. Clean facilities (hardwood floors with mirrors, windows, and a ceiling fan, washroom, etc). Taijutsu is challenging but a lot of fun with good people and philosophy. The monthly price is also a nice deal.

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend training in this dojo. All students are respectful to each other and we can share and learn something new besides of the ranks. The knowledge of Fabio is stunning, he transmits it with a wonderful energy. We are able to learn the concepts from the roots because of his trips to Japan. Every class is an opportunity to discover something new about ourselves and from this ancient martial art.

Fantastic experience: In my time training at the Toronto Bujinkan Koroku Dojo i have come to be thoroughly impressed by Fabio's instruction, the atmosphere of the dojo and its practitioners. Fabio is the real deal when it comes to not only the physical level of his skills but his embodiment of the true spirit of a martial artist. His dedication to growth and improvement is approached with humility and a light heart which can be seen in his instruction and practice. You can expect a high attention to detail and useful guidance when training here. The ample challenges presented in the dojo are often related to practical and real life situations, instead of showmanship there is an emphasis on adaptability and implementation of techniques in actual possible life scenarios. If you are interested in exploring the path of Budo in a fun, safe and authentic way, this is a great place to do so.

Fantastic experience: I started training in another time and place, and recently decided to return to Ninjutsu after over a decade long hiatus. Fabio and his school immediately won me over. His knowledge and experience shows. The focus of each practice is on growth, realism and safety. The group is very welcoming and diverse and students of every level work together and learn from each other. Fun is mixed with hard work in equal measure. I’m very happy to have found such an experienced teacher and such a dedicated and talented group of practitioners of this ancient living art right here in Toronto.

Fantastic experience: This is a beautiful place to share Hatsumi sensei's Bujinkan

Fantastic experience: This is great place for training you are very lucky to train with these groups

Fantastic experience: Best Toronto Dojo!!

Fantastic experience: Bujinkan Koroku Dōjō (Toronto) it’s a good place to learn ancient martial arts and also develop skills to apply this knowledge in a day to day basis, the instructors are certified in Japan at the Honbu Dojo (Principal or Master Dojo) and are continuously taking seminars and traveling to Japan in order to have knowledge from the direct source. Great place for training!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I've joined in Oct, 2021, and I'm very happy about my decision. It's a friendly enviroment, and the instructor is very knowledgeable and excellent at teaching.

Fantastic experience: Great group of people, always excited to train with them and professionalism!

Fantastic experience: It would be a craven of surrenderance and an abdication of my principle if I did not convey that this Establishment is at a level of Excellence head and shoulders literally above all others. The Instructors/ Teachers are unbelievably compassionate and patient. They collectively are a compendium of wisdom, experience and knowledge on all levels. The Environment which they have created within this school with utmost care and passion is beyond my comprehension. They have taught me If you're not feeling uncomfortable then you're not growing. Growing is painful. Even if it involves you forcing to be a better version of yourself during difficult times. You put the sword into the flame pull it out, beat on it and put it back into the fire. You repeat this process many times. That's how you get stronger. Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them. I would stand behind these Instructors and Teachers of this Establishment without question and without equal. Anyone would be unbelievably fortunate to join such a Professional, Safe and friendly School to grow and achieve whatever their individual personal goals are. I personally give this dojo a 13/10.

Fantastic experience: As a student of the Koroku Dojo i have grown in such harmony with myself thanks to Sensei Fabio’s guidance and wisdom. I am privledged to be part of a Dojo filled with students who are driven to train and improve not just the physical movements we learn in class but even with the language and philosophy. I would not be the man I am today without the Koroku Dojo and I look forward to seeing my progress in the years to come :).

Fantastic experience: Fabio is a great person and Bujinkan instructor. I recommend his classes and vision of the Bujinkan to anyone. Keep the great work!

Fantastic experience: I really have tremendous respect for Shihan Fabio Hernandez. He works extremely hard to make his classes a great learning environment for everyone. He is tough with his students, and also very caring. He has the ability to understand what your individual challenges are and is very patient in helping you to work through them. Very highly recommended.
