Rank Requirements Page

This page contains the first three levels as handed down to me by Shihan Wade Goodner.  This ranking list serves as a guide to what you will learn at the West Georgia Ninjutsu Club.  This is by no means a complete list, as the material encompassed in the Bujinkan Ryu is too vast to compile.  Indeed, what is truly significant is what can't be put into words.  Also, since I am not a licensed godan or shidoshi-ho, I can not give out rank.  The ranks merely serve as a guide.
