Carey Bud Malmstrom is considered one of the founding fathers of Ninjutsu in America.^{[citation needed]} Beginning his training in 1976 at the Karate school of Stephen K. Hayes he saw a group of students practicing something other than Karate in the back of the school. After telling Hayes he wanted to train in that instead, he began his introduction into the warrior arts of the Bujinkan Dojo.

Through the rest of the 70's, 80's and into the late 90's, Bud instructed in Atlanta, Georgia, the birthplace of Ninjutsu in America, and ran what was the "Original School of Ninjutsu.".^{[citation needed]} Bud and his wife Bonnie both decided within recent years, however, to finally close the Bujinkan Atlanta Dojo as a commercial school and focus more on their retirement together. The responsibility for training was passed to Roy Wilkinson to carry on the tradition of the first authentic Ninjutsu school in the Western Hemisphere, now known as the Atlanta Bujinkan Dojo. Bud is still involved in Bujinkan training and teaches seminars around the world.^{[citation needed]}
