Dragon Ryu Academy

Dragon Ryu Academy in Nea Ionia, Athens, was founded in 2010 by master Rush Tsagris (5th Dan Ninjutsu). Rooted in Ninpo-Ninjutsu, the academy emphasizes realistic and operational training, including unarmed and armed combat, bodyguard skills, security tactics, and survival methods. Students practice striking, movement flow, weapon techniques (sword, staff, bow, shuriken), and modern self-defense strategies, while also learning combat first aid and resilience training. Dragon Ryu focuses on both physical and mental development, cultivating discipline, confidence, and social responsibility. Structured in five levels based on the elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether), the academy offers a holistic martial arts path that blends tradition, practicality, and personal growth.
