TOSHITSUGU  TAKAMATSU TAKAMATSU SENSEI O’Sensei Takamatsu 33rd Soke of Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu –  “The last living true Ninja” O’Sensei Takamatsu  (as we at ABD call him) was born in the 23rd year of Meiji (10th March 1887), in Akashi, Hyogo province. His given name was Hisatsugu but he later changed the name (using the same kanji characters but different pronunciation) to Toshitsugu. O’Sensei Takamatsu was one of the greatest martial artists to ever live.   He not only practiced his art …. he lived it and  victoriously fought many to the death battles from challengers. He began his training at an early age. His grandfather, Toda Shinryuken Masamitsu, had a bone clinic, and a Budo Dojo in Kobe.

History of the Gyokushin Ryu It is believed that Gyokushin Ryu’s founder Sasaki Goemon was originally from the Gyokko Ryu or that the techniques of the Gyokushin Ryu were based on the Gyokko Ryu. It is not known in the west as to what the fighting techniques of the Gyokushin Ryu are. All that is really known is that it uses sutemi throws. What is known is that this school concentrated more on the espionage side of ninjutsu, rather than the fighting side. It has been said that the specialties of this ryu were the kusari fundo, ninjutsu, koppojutsu, jutaijutsu, kenjutsu and iaijutsu, although we have no confirmation on this.
