Zero Point Ocala
Monthly technique-breakdown videos: Oguri, Nagato, Noguchi, Seno, and Hatsumi Sensei.
The Zeropoint Bujinkan Dojo in Japan has updated the format of its video series to match how the Hombu now teaches. With 2 of the top 5 Sensei no longer with us and Hatsumi Sensei himself retiring from teaching, monthly videos now explore each technique from the schools of the Bujinkan — how Oguri, Nagato, Noguchi, Seno, and Hatsumi Sensei each approached it over the last 20 years. Each release is 5 videos, one per Sensei, delivered to your inbox the moment it drops. The sooner you join, the more you get: the backlog is released separately as sets of 10-video volumes.
