Sensei Rick Bothma - Credentials
Growing up in Gauteng, his journey into martial arts began in 1986, the same year he started his career as an instructor in Urban Terrorism and SWAT within the South African Police. During this period, Rick began his lifelong study of ninjutsu, blending classical warrior arts with real-world tactical applications. His ability to protect himself, his team, and the public was honed through the techniques he studied and taught.
When Rick isn’t fulfilling his role as Sensei, he is channelling his creative vision as an architectural professional at RCB Architecture. RCB Architecture brings clients' dreams and concepts to life, sculpting spaces that blend functionality with artistry.
Whether on the mat or at the drafting table, Rick’s dedication to his craft shines through in everything he creates.

I've been training at Bujinkan Tori Overstrand for almost a year, and have learned so much. Went from not even knowing how to punch without hurting my knuckles to being able to perform eight different punching techniques, several kicking techniques, escapes from being grabbed and can fight with a hanbō (stick). I'm pretty confident I now stand a much better chance of defending myself if need be.” Annelize Botha

He strives to find new knowledge to hone his skills and celebrates his students' journey.

Age, fitness and previous skill do not matter, here your dedication and willingness to learn are the keys to your success.” Senpai Jason (senior student)
“Sensei Rick Bothma at Bujinkan Tori Overstrand is one of the most profound Sensei's I have trained with. He perfects his art in ninjutsu, is highly disciplined and has the patience to explain and demonstrate. It is exhilarating to attend his training sessions, and you learn and evolve. Highly recommended!” Marelize
“Learning about yourself and working through your issues is no easy task. Ninjutsu provides the platform to do that and gives you the tools. I firmly believe in the message and principles being conveyed and live according to its principles and moral code. This art is much more than simply techniques and Katas. What it has done for me so far has given me a greater sense of inner peace, relaxation, confidence, and a heightened sense of awareness and perception. I know my body and my limitations. There is a sense of freedom in knowing that I have been equipped with lethal and potentially lifesaving skills and tools. This puts my mind at ease and makes me a less anxious person. I always look forward to training sessions, further learning and progression. Sensei Rick, I sincerely thank you for what you have taught me and respect what you represent. Domo arigato Riku Sensei!” Senpai Aleks San (student at Bujinkan Tori Overstrand since 2012)
