NAGATO TAIKAI
AUSTRIA 2026

We are celebrating 25 years since the foundations of Bujinkan Austria. To make this occasion unforgettable, we are honored to welcome Nagato-Sensei for a 3-Day-Taikai in Austria, in the heart of Europe. We will do our utmost to make this an unforgettable event for every participant and for Nagato-Sensei.

The kanji we have chosen for this Taikai mean „Shizen Shigoku“. In its simplest translation, „Shizen Shigoku“ means „ultimate nature“ or „the peak of naturalness.“ This concept embodies the essence of adapting fluidly to any situation, finding strength in balance, and aligning ourselves with the true flow of life.

Through this Taikai, we invite each participant to explore this profound aspect of Budō training, guided by the wisdom and experience of Nagato-Sensei. Adding a special dimension to this event, Steve Olsen, a long-term Budoka living in Japan and deeply immersed in the Bujinkan, will be translating Nagato-Sensei’s teachings, bringing insight and clarity to each lesson.

This gathering not only celebrates three decades of Bujinkan Austria but also offers a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of natural movement, resilience, and harmony. We look forward to welcoming you to Kufstein, Austria, for this extraordinary event amidst the inspiring peaks of the Alps.
