Hello (potential)student, and welcome,

We will have plenty of time to get to know each other once you begin your training. Before that you probably want to know a bit about your teacher before that.

​I am Arnout Griepsma, a 51 years-young Dutch guy, living in a beautiful region of northern Tuscany called Lunigiana.

Over the years, I have been asked many times if I would teach the martial art that I have been practicing for half my life. Finally, I took this as a sign it was meant to be.

​So, I opened my own dojo (school)…

Our Style

With care and respect, I took everything that I learned (and am learning) from my teachers, colleagues and others I have met so far along the way. This knowledge, wisdom and training is all blended into my own style of Ninjutsu. A modernized Ninjutsu style, based upon ancient Japanese Samurai and Ninja techniques.

Our school

I physically built an indoor Dojo and an outdoor training area on my land, incorporating the natural elements.

​Whether you are a curious beginner seeking defence skills and better well-being, or an experienced martial artist looking to advance your techniques, you are warmly welcome here.

​I teach all levels from beginners to martial artists who are experienced in other styles. Basic movability is necessary, if you are in doubt about your physical condition, contact the Dojo, we are happy to explain what we do and how we do it. Don’t worry about your physics or age….join us for a free introduction and see for yourself.

​My vision and my teachings combine both mental and physical skills in the Iguru Ninjutsu Ryu (style).

​Now I would like to invite you on a journey to get the best out of each other and become better than we were before.

​Come join the Iguru Ninja Dojo family and let’s grow together…
