Bujinkan Kongoshin Dojo

Bujinkan Kongoshin Dojo

Located in scenic and beautiful Charlotte, Vermont, the Kongoshin Dojo offers an in depth training experience like no other.

Our Dojo

Located along beautiful lake Champlain in the scenic Green Mountains, The Bujinkan Kongoshin Dojo is the oldest Bujinkan Dojo in Vermont. We are a fully licensed, traditional martial training environment endorsed by Grandmaster Hatsumi. The dojo itself and many of the tools we train with, are hand crafted by some of the senior students and Jessy James Amblo, our Shidoshi. Every year, Grandmaster Hatsumi reveals the theme of study to be conducted for the year. Jessy travels to Japan to train with Grandmaster and his Shihan to get the heart and feeling of the area of study. This, in turn, is the assigned training for the year Jessy brings home for us. The heart to heart, person to person (Isshin Denshin) training with Grandmaster and his Shihan is absolutely essential. We train very hard with each other to make our Budo real.

About Our Instructor

Jessy James Amblo of the Bujinkan Kongoshin Dojo is the scion of many generations whose progenitors arrived in the New World as Royal Archers nearly 400 years ago with Samuel de Champlain.

Jessy’s journey to his current awareness of the meaning of Bushido – the evolution of the term from “one who serves” to “the way of the warrior” has been no less varied than his family’s journey through the history of America. As a youth, exploring martial arts books in an Oriental paraphernalia store, he was handed a copy of Soke’s History and Tradition and knew immediately that that was his calling.

The next two decades were a journey to authenticity.
