Sword Saint's Perfected Martial Art

Sangakuen no Tachi (Three Learning Circles of the Tachi) Edition

Shinkage-ryu Kenjutsu: Sangakuen no Tachi Instructional Video

Master the Essence of Japan's Premier Swordsmanship: Learn the Most Free and Natural Techniques

Shinkage-ryu, founded by the sword saint Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami in the late Sengoku period, was solidified as a renowned martial art by the second-generation master, Yagyu Munenori, who became the instructor for the Tokugawa shogunate. Recognized as one of Japan's representative swordsmanship styles, Shinkage-ryu is frequently depicted in movies, novels, and television.

The ideal of this swordsmanship is to embody "Seijizennen" (natural and free-spirited action). However, this naturalness is not about moving self-indulgently but about achieving a state of "marobashi" (a non-resistant mind and body) while following the opponent's movement.

This DVD thoroughly explains these principles through the form "Sangakuen no Tachi," a symbol of the path of "marobashi":

  • The traditional sword trajectory (Tachisuji) of the Bishu Yagyu lineage.
  • The integration of body and sword to achieve seamless techniques.

The DVD clarifies the hidden meanings and movements of the sword techniques, which may be challenging to understand at first glance.

Recommended for those who want to:

  • Understand the movements of Japan's representative swordsmanship.
  • Explore the rational manipulation of body and sword.
  • Learn what constitutes "free and natural techniques" in martial arts.
