Experience
Instructor Camenisch started Martial Arts in 1995 starting in traditional Martial Arts such as Drunken, & Dragon Wushu, Chinese Boxing, and Jeet Kune Do. It wasn't for a couple of years until he fully recognized embraced the "Art of the Ninja" and began training with numerous organizations, associations and dojo's World-Wide on a quest for a modern and effective form of Ninjitsu. This quest spanned over 9 years and 12 different countries utilizing and learning not only Ninjitsu but Martial Arts styles unique to the area and the people of those countries.

Vision
But to no avail a modern and combative form of Ninjutsu was never fully offered by any organization, trainer, or Dojo, it seemed that the true essence of Ninjitsu had died. This so-called true essence of Ninjutsu can be many things such as persistance, adaptability, strength, honor, and realism but all or some of those qualities were consistantly lacking from each and every training Dojo, or instructor. Things like NO-Sparring? or training with live weapons, no applied training, realistic training, or techniques for all 5 ranges of combat? Thus, SWAN Ninjitsu was created from Worldly sources of Martial Arts to restore this elite warrior state of conscious training for the modern age of the Ninja.
