Managing Director
CurrentLisandro Serra Delmar, the Gaucho Ninja, is a barefoot shoemaker who draws inspiration for his craft from the ancient Japanese martial art of Bujinkan, something he has practised and taught throughout his adult life. His leather work celebrates a lineage of techniques passed down through the generations - his great-grandfather was a gaucho and a saddler, and his aunt a shoemaker. Yet, Lisandro has taken the art form in a new direction, one that considers the profound impact our feet have on the well-being of our entire body. His barefoot shoes promote agility, better posture, natural foot movement, and improved balance - all essential qualities of a martial artist. Lisandro's story is a fusion of two distinct worlds, where the rhythms of Argentinean cowboy culture intersect with the discipline and philosophy of his Bujinkan dojo.
