Katori Shinto Ryu is one of the oldest extant martial arts in Japan, a true koryu. The Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu was founded in 1447 by Izasa Ienao, who was living near Katori jingu (shrine) at the time. He was a respected spearman and swordsman whose hometown had been destroyed and he wandered for a time before settling near the temple and developing the art. The current (2003) headmaster is Izasa Yoshisada. The foremost practitioners of the art are Otake Risuke and Sugino Yukihiro. The syllabus comprises kenjutsu (katana, wakizashi, both at once), naginatajutsu (glaive), iaijutsu (sword drawing), bojutsu (staff), sojutsu (spear), yawara-jutsu (grappling and knife fighting), shurikenjutsu (spike throwing), ninjutsu (intelligence gathering and analysis), chikujojutsu (fortification), gunbaiho (strategy and tactics), in-yo kigaku (philosophical and mystical aspects). |

a swords, both for training or keepin at house in nice place, shouldt be sharpened. only the highest sensei's are using real blades in practice, also, real steel u can use at kata forms, where theres no opponent ( tho not allway, at mine kendo kata we do have opponents ) besides, there are several laws about using steel, and even carrying it. if you have permission ( which is almost impossible to get ) for wearing steel on your back - no problem, if no - you cant wear it, unless you can proove that youre just going to your practice or you have just bought a sword to put it at the fireplace. sort of. |

1. The Bujinkan shall be open to only those who agree with and uphold the guidelines of the Bujinkan Dojo. Those not doing so shall not be allowed to join. Specifically: Only those who have read and agreed with these guidelines shall be allowed to participate. 2. Only those able to exercise true patience, self-control, and dedication shall be allowed to participate. A physician's examination report shall be required. Specifically, individuals with mental illness, drug addiction, or mental instability shall be barred from joining. The necessity of such a report concerns individuals who may present a danger to others, for example, those with infectious diseases or illnesses, individuals with clinically abnormal personalities or physiology, and individuals lacking self-control. 3. Individuals with criminal records shall be turned away. Trouble makers, those who commit crimes, and those living in Japan who break domestic laws shall be turned away. 4. Those not upholding the guidelines of the Bujinkan, either as practitioners or as members of society, by committing disgraceful or reproachable acts shall be expelled. Until now, the Bujinkan was open to large numbers of people who came to Japan. Among them, unfortunately, were those committing violent drunken acts, the mentally ill, and trouble makers who thought only of themselves and failed to see how their actions might adversely affect others. Through their actions, such people were discarding the traditional righteous heart of the Bujinkan. From this day forward, all such people shall be expelled. |

5. Regarding accidents occurring during training (both inside and outside the dojo), one should not cause trouble to the Bujinkan. This is an extremely important point. Those unwilling to take personal responsibility for accidents occurring during Bujinkan training shall not be admitted. Reiterating for clarity, the Bujinkan shall not take responsibility for any accidents happening in the course of training, regardless of the location. 6. All those joining the Bujinkan must get an annual membership card. This card not only preserves the honor of the Bujinkan members, it indicates you are part of a larger whole--one whose members come together with warrior hearts to better themselves through training and friendship. It evinces the glory of warrior virtue, and embodies both loyalty and brotherly love. |

7. The tradition of the Bujinkan recognizes nature and the universality of all human life, and is aware of that which flows naturally between the two parts: •"The secret principle of Taijutsu is to know the foundations of peace. •To study is the path to the immovable heart (fudoshin)." Recently, the Bujinkan has become truly international. Just as there are various time zones, so exist various taboos among the world's peoples and nations. We must respect each other, striving to avoid such taboos. We must put the heart of the warrior first, working together for self-improvement and for the betterment of the Bujinkan. Those not upholding the above-mentioned guidelines shall be forced out of the Bujinkan. Masaaki Hatsumi - Soke |

i wear hakama on every training - its also a part of practice, its hard to move in it :) and the armour - heavy as hell, not very comfortable, less cool then it looks . |

Jedy... i'm doing it a while now and consider it a serious study (hence me going to the source, in Japan). So personally speaking I train 4 classes a week with 2 different instructors ...which is only 6 hours, plus training at home and with friends However, beginners usually go once/twice a week. You do it at your own pace really. Check out that website for dojos near you. I get 2 busses to one of the classes (or cycle) ... its worth it. Our granmaster travelled 500 miles once a week for 15 years to train with his teacher! Hyakusen: When we wear the hakama it teaches us to move more economically and it can also be used as a weapon. We don't wear armour normally, although, in Japan they sometimes train with full 17th century battlefield armour in order to highlight some of the features of fighting fully armoured. |
