Shidoshi Jeffery Russell trained with Shihan Ishizuka. Ishizuka San is one of the original students under Gradmaster Masaaki Hatsumi. My instructor trained in Japan for over four years after receiving his shodan (black belt) in the States. Shidoshi Russell started his training in the Bujinkan system under Shidoshi Jeff Duncan of the Roanoke Valley Bujinkan www.rkebudo.com, until departing for Japan. He earned his Godan (5th degree black belt) from Soke (Grandmaster) Masaki Hatsumi. After sixteen years of experience, Shidoshi Russell continues to make frequent trips to Japan to train with Soke Hatsumi and Ishizuka, tirelessly improving his skills.
