-- PRESENTATION: TENNEN RISHIN RYŪ --
Tennen Rishin Ryū was founded by Kondō Kuranosuke, and is a Sōgōbujutsu which includes Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, Jūjutsu, Bōjutsu (staff techniques), Kappō (respiration techniques), Kiai-jutsu (warcry techniques) and the like.
It is known that at the end of the Shogunate, the 4th Sōke of Tennen Rishin Ryū, Kondō Isami, with the disciples Hijikata Toshizō and Okita Sōji, started the “Shinsengumi”, a special police force organized by the Bakufu (Shogunate) to fight against its opponents.
It is thought that Kondō Kuranosuke, who is said to be from Tōtōmi, mastered Kashima Shintō Ryū at the end of his “Musha Shugyō” through the country (= a kind of travel dedicated to gaining skills in combat), and then founded the Tennen Rishin Ryū style.
When Kondō Kuranosuke arrived at Edo, he established a Dōjō at Yagenbori (present Higashi Nihonbashi in Tokyo) on the one hand, and out of enthusiasm used to go teach lessons in Sōshū (present Kanagawa Prefecture) and Tama, in the Bushū (Musashi) Province, on the other hand.
Kondō Isami being from Tama himself, it is thought that this personal link also led to this kind of touring lessons.
Nowadays, there are training for instance at the Ushiku Dōjō, at the Tokyo Dōjō, and at the Tama Dōjō.
