One Meetup attendee suggested that I put a small piece of information in a more prominent position, so here it is: The 5 classes you attend are free.  Doesn't matter what day it is.

If you've ever read the writings of Stephen K. Hayes, wanted to learn self-defense, and/or wanted to study ninjutsu, this is the Meetup group for you. Since we're a new and small training group, I've started this meetup to help us grow, and maybe in the future grow into a full dojo.  We currently have a stable training location, as the Shin Budo Kai Dojo currently allows us to rent space when they are not training.

If you're still not sure, feel free to come on in for a free lesson (first time visitors, only).

If we have enough members in the future, we will add a Saturday class.

Below are some frequently asked questions about the art.  For more information, please stop by, or visit us at http://www.NYC-Quest.com
