Writer, writes his future without knowing it

There are no such things as coincedences, everything happens for a reason and our life plays out according to desires, emotions and the quest for knowledge. Stephan Phelan decided a long time ago to write a book based on the Bujinkan - an outsider looking in - though i knew that his journey had begun as he interviewed me. I knew instantly that this young man was playing out his role though unknown to himself that he had become a student of Budo and the Bujinkan.

Hiken Dojo and Shinshin Ichijo dojo was honoured to host this aspiring author last weekend and helped to encourage his journey, not as an outsider looking in but a student of the Bujinkan embarking on a life experience. Stephen will be interviewing Hatsumi for his forthcoming book as a student and hounorary member of our Dojo's. We look forward to aiding him in his quest.
