JACK HOBAN
Jack Hoban is a former active duty US Marine Corps Captain and
long time practitioner of martial arts. He is Shidoshi Senior Instructor
in the Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu system under Grand Master Masaaki
Hatsumi in Japan. He was the third non-Japanese person in the world
to become fully qualified as a senior Bujinkan instructor by passing
the 5th degree black belt test in 1985. He received a 10th
Dan in May of 1996.
He is also a student of the late Robert L. Humphrey, noted conflict
resolution specialist, and author of "Values For A New Millennium." His
Living Values Program is inspired in great degree from Professor
Humphrey's Life
Value theory.
Hoban's approach to teaching martial arts in context of the universal
human values, is unique in America. He has three published
books and four videos on
the martial arts and has written numerous articles on the martial
arts and Living
Values. He is, also, a popular lecturer throughout America
and the world on the subject of warriorship and values. He
teaches both children and adults classes at the Wesley
Hall in Spring Lake, New Jersey. Classes are Monday and
Wednesday nights from 6-7 pm for the children and 7-8:30 pm for
the adults. His classes teach warrior-citizens how to stand
up for, and if necessary, protect, themselves and others. He
also leads a monthly
workshop on warrior values and Budo Taijutsu. Instructor
training is also available.
Hoban has an MBA, and works for a technology company that specializes
in the healthcare industry. He is married to Yumiko Muramatsu
Hoban, an anthropologist who publishes an international webpage on
cross-cultural childrearing. They have two sons and live on the
Jersey Shore.
