Gavin started training in the Bujinkan arts in 1995 at the dojo of Bujinkan instructor Sensei Dion Kalos in Chatswood on Sydney’s Upper North Shore. After trying some of the more sports orientated martial arts and searching through his local area for the right fit, Gavin found his place studying the techniques of the Bujinkan. He was intrigued by what Ninjutsu had to offer in its repertoire of training, also by the no nonsense approach it had to self defence. This is a dynamic and exciting instructor who brings his unique understanding of the techniques and kata of the Bujinkan to his dojo. He is passionate about his training in the Bujinkan Arts and sees it as a committed life long journey and a constant learning experience.

Throughout his training career he has had the privilege of training with instructors in Australia as well as Malaysia, USA, Thailand and Japan. After receiving his 3rd dan, with permission from his Sensei, he decided to start his own dojo (Toukon Bujutsu) and is currently teaching at Asquith Church of Christ, near Asquith train station. Today Gavin is as committed to the journey as the day he started. He is constantly amazed at the depth of knowledge there is to still discover in the Bujinkan Arts and looks forward to a lifetime of training to find out.
