Tenshinsho Jigen Ryuho is a comprehensive martial art centered on Iaijutsu and swordsmanship.

Since the creation of the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryuho, its family has been faithful to it for the rest of its life, and in the Shimazu clan, the twelfth head of the family, Tadaharu Shimazu, has taken the path of his parents for generations. It was the one that was trained and served as an uplifting guardian of the style.

​

Traditional Japanese martial arts are not sports.

According to the self-sourced style, "with the first sword, without doubting the second sword, and slashing the enemy with the spirit of decisive action with one sword," is the basic sword.

​

The sword is a technique, not a way, but at the end of training, the technique is in harmony with the mind method, the law and the art are in harmony, and there is something that you can truly gain from yourself.

​

Therefore, martial arts should be practiced as a person, and the soul, sword, art, and law that dwell in our body should be united and protected forever as a noble road unique to Japan.

​

Considering the history and genealogy of the folklore, the ancestors of the family defended the tradition of first-class pure folklore while facing various difficulties over the years and facing the crisis of extinction due to the world turmoil after the Meiji Restoration. Considering that we have handed down the constant tradition of ancient and modern times to the present, we hope that not only will the orthodox tradition be passed down to the people who have the aspirations of the world.

​

The transmission of the style after the Meiji Restoration twisted the spirit and history that should be the origin of traditional Japanese martial arts by exaggerating and playing with the kind of creations that distort and deny the historical tradition of many schools. The current situation is that the spirit, the view of the history of the Ryu, the tradition of the Ryu, the secrets, the arts, and the law are oblivious.

​

Each of the core schools in the history of martial arts lost control over the branch school and began to take its own path, and as a result of the traditional martial arts school being combined with modern martial arts, more traditional schools became more popular due to the rise of game principle. We are on the road to becoming a mere corpse.

​

For that reason, we have released the official website here for the purpose of recognizing the history of the correct school, disclosing information on the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryuho, and preserving management.
