Japan's oldest comprehensive martial art also evolves with ligaments!
By deliberately creating unstable states to activate ligaments, "Jintore" (ligament training) achieves faster and more powerful movements than muscle use. This time, with Takeuchi-ryu Bitchu-den 17th generation master Takagi Hitotsugu and Ito Jun (Togo Shrine gonnegi, 7th Sento-ryu Karatedo Soke Cup International Championship lightweight division runner-up), we introduce theory and training systems to reproduce and acquire master-level martial techniques. The advanced section shows how to apply ligament activation to actual martial techniques and reveals common body principles transcending styles!

Instructor:
Founder of the Jin-Training Association. Born in 1961. After training in judo and karate from childhood, he became a professional kickboxer and competed professionally. He later joined the Japan Self-Defense Forces and also studied taekwondo. In 1986, he won the sparring division at the 6th All-Japan Taekwondo Championships. In 1989, he fought Minami Gohiro of Byakuren Kaikan — then known as the “strongest invader” — in Minami’s Kanto debut match at the 7th Shidokan Tournament. He also sparred in near-match conditions at Thailand’s Omnoi Stadium with Samart Payakaroon, widely regarded as the greatest genius in Muay Thai history, while appearing in the latter’s starring film — the first Japanese to do so before a full house crowd.
In 1994, he worked as a bodyguard for Miss World while also instructing the governor’s security unit in Kerala, South India. In 2002, he won the forms division at the 1st All-Japan Taekwondo Poomsae Championships. He later trained in Systema in Canada and studied Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, Aikido, and other martial arts. From these experiences, he developed “Jin-Training,” focusing on ligament-based movement. He founded the Jin-Training Association in 2012 and registered the trademark “Jin-Training” in 2014. His publications include Connected Body! Jin-Training and the instructional DVD Jin-Training Basics
