Our names are Bill and Laura Stegner, we have both studied martial arts for decades and have shared many adventures around the world. We founded BTSD San Diego in with a single goal in mind — a place where good people can come together and become stronger in order to reach personal and fitness goals they never thought possible…. You see, we know personally that the mind and spirit are more powerful than the limitations of the body. Our involvement in the US military and travels around the world have taught us that life is short, we need to let go of our self-imposed limitations and live each day to the fullest. We have witnessed some of our students go from being shy and nervous teenagers to leading National Geographic tours into China and becoming staffers in the US Congress. Others have gone from being stiff and tired somethings to doing diving rolls over obstacles their height and getting into sword-fighting! The world of martial arts is a mess.

The modern sports of mixed martial arts try to recreate what was discovered across battlefields over hundreds of years. In addition to a superior system of fighting, Bujinkan integrates the mental and spiritual aspects of fighting, self defense, survival, and living.
