Robin Doenicke is a close friend of Bujinkan India and a personal student of Nagato Sensei.Robin Doenicke is an Australian from Sydney who has been living in Japan since 1996. Over the past 14 years, Robin has trained consistently, and exclusively, with Hatsumi-sensei and Nagato-sensei. His interest in the martial arts began at age 6 when he entered the Kyokushin Karate Dojo in Liverpool, England. Upon moving to Sydney in 1980, Robin began studying Jin Wu Koon Double Dragon Kung Fu and Kick Boxing with renowned champion Sifu Chan Cheuk Fei. After several years studying Jin Wu Koon, Robin spent a period of time practicing Wing Chun and Shotokan Karate, before beginning Ninjutsu with the Wayne Roy organization. After a year training with Wayne Roy, Robin saw an article about the Bujinkan in a martial arts magazine. Intrigued by what he read, he soon afterwards tracked down a Bujinkan teacher called Andrew Macdonald who taught classes at a nearby park in Sydney. After experiencing one class with Andrew, Robin was hooked. He realized this was the art he'd been searching for his entire martial arts life. Robin promptly joined Andrew's dojo and trained intensively with him for the next three years. It was around this time that Robin made the decision to go and live and train in Japan. He was 24 years old at the time. With an initial plan to live in Japan for a year or so, 14 years later, he is still living and training in Japan and loving every moment of it. Robin was awarded his 15th dan in early 2009 from Hatsumi-sensei.
Robin approaches each and every training experience as an opportunity to gain a deeper apperception of one's true Self through the feeling of taijutsu. Something he has always kept at the forefront of his mind is a statement written down by Toda Shinryuken, 32nd Grandmaster of the Togakure Ryu. He wrote, "Know that the secret of Taijutsu is the foundation of peace. Learn this and walk the path of the immovable heart." Only in recent years has Robin begun to comprehend the deeper meaning of these profound words. He is convinced, beyond any doubt, that if one perseveres in their taijutsu with a pure heart, all aspects of their life, both personal and professional, inside and outside of the dojo, will increasingly begin to flow in a more natural and spontaneous manner, allowing one to maintain an attitude of fudoshin regardless of their circumstances.
Together with his wife Yuki and daughter Emma, Robin lives in the Shinagawa district near Tokyo Bay. He is the Co-founder and President of Zensho, an executive recruitment firm specializing in the placement of senior lawyers at leading law firms and multinational corporations throughout Japan and the Asia region.
