-Ninja Dojo Visit-
Our ancestors used to work for the Samurai Regime, named Tokugawa Shogunate till 1868. The received the official title of "onmitsu" from the government.
When you visit our dojo, you'll learn the basic training for our novice ninja-onmitsu.
For a ninja, it's most important to survive and send information to the governmen, so a ninja learned all types of weapon and went through a lot of mental training.
He/She must foster his or her personality to be persevering and calm. So we always start our training with meditataion and kujikiri.
Then you get changed to a ninja trainee attire and learn ninja stars and blowgun techniques as warming up exercises, after that you specify one of the skills to be worked on; grappling, self defence, kinai skills, jutte skills, iai swordmanship, rope or chain techniques, or shintai-sosa (body operation) for beginners which does not requiere athletic abilities, etc.(Nunchak is not a ninja weapon, so we use chains.)
|
Ninpo Taijutsu does not involve a competition of power against power, but rather, involves taking advantage of an opponent's flow of strength to the advantage of the defender, then using the initiative gained, breaking their balance in order to apply a given technique.
You don't need to move quickly, but you are to be exact. So observation and thinking on your feet become important. The ultimate objective of our training is that one develops sensitivily to determine sakki (harmful intent) and move away from it consciously. Only when you aquire this, you will be recognized as a full-fledged ninja. However strong or fast or acrobatic one may be, without this ability, one is nothing but an ordinary person. |

| History | Our ancestors came to Yedo (Tokyo) in 1590 following Ieyasu Tokugawa who became the first shogun of the Tokugawa Clan. The Musashi Clan families were made "Hatamoto" samurai warriors of the shogunate in charge of shinobi intelligence work.
Our martial art traditions have been quietly kept to the present day. |

| Frame of mind | "Forget your sadness, anger, grudges, and hatred. Let them pass like smoke caught in the breeze. You should not deviate from the path of righteousness, you should lead a life worthy of a man. Don't be possessed by greed, luxury, or your ego. You should accept sorrows, sadness and hatred as they are, and consider them a chance for trial given to you by the powers...a blessing given by nature. Have both your mind and your time fully engaged in budo, and have your mind deeply set on bujutsu." - Masaaki Hatsumi | ||
| Key word - Kujikiri | Kujikiri consists of nine symbolic cuts.
The Kujikiri performed with the right hand are to emphasize the cut of the ignorance of the deceptive sensory world through the Sword of the Wisdom. In this way, according to the belief system of Shingon Mikkyo, one would come to create an opening in the daily world that would allow one to reach various states of consciousness. |
