Values and teaching philosophy
The “Tenshinryu (天心流)” school was founded during the Edo Kan’ei era (寛永) by Yahei Tokizawa (時沢弥兵衛). Its origins trace back to a special group operating in the shadows to protect the Tokugawa shogunate (徳川幕府) called Shirin no Dan (士林の団), a secret group of samurai engaged in espionage work to support the Tokugawa world from the shadows.
Serving under Munenori Yagyu (柳生宗矩), who had created many “Kata (勢法, techniques)”. Tenshinryu originated from “Shinkage ryu (新陰流).” Yahei integrated techniques from Shinkage ryu and those created by Munenori into Tenshinryu. Tenshinryu was transmitted as a sword school to serve in the castle, known as “Joshi no Ken (城士 の 剣)”.
Tenshinryu is a school of “Hyoho (兵法)” (comprehensive martial arts), including the following arts:
