Ninjutsu HIKETSU BUN: The Secret Inscription of the Ninja Way

Image
Ancient Japanese scroll with ninja symbols and calligraphy representing the Ninjutsu Hiketsu Bun – the secret inscription of ninja survival philosophy. Throughout the centuries, the ancient ninja art of Ninjutsu has preserved teachings far deeper than mere combat techniques. One such profound gem is the NINJUTSU HIKETSU BUN – a secret inscription passed down by Grandmaster Takamatsu Toshitsugu, revealing the true essence of the ninja path. This sacred text transcends the battlefield and enters the domain of the soul. It speaks of endurance, inner harmony, and the balance between survival and spiritual awakening. In an age where martial arts are often reduced to sport or spectacle, this writing serves as a reminder that true victory lies not in overpowering others—but in mastering oneself and flowing with the rhythms of the universe. Let us delve into the secret inscription that encapsulates the art of winning without fighting, the way of perseverance, and the code of the heart.  Sh...

"If you fall 7 times, 8 times you will have to get up Nanakorobi Yaoki 七転び八起き

Image
In Japan there is a saying that says, "If you fall 7 times, 8 times you will have to get up" (Nanakorobi Yaoki 七転び八起き), but I will want to fall and get up 8 times 9 times, this is the spirit of Kukishin Ryu, who says: - every time you fall nine demons will rise you again,

The five precepts for ninpo:

To know that patience comes first. To know that the path of mankind comes from justice. To renounce greed, laziness, and obstinacy. To recognize sadness, worry, and resentment as natural and to seek the immovable heart (fudoshin).

Sleep is your life-support system and Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality

Image
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page. Sleep is your life-support system and Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality, says sleep scientist Matt Walker. In this deep dive into the science of slumber, Walker shares the wonderfully good things that happen when you get sleep -- and the alarmingly bad things that happen when you don't, for both your brain and body.

History of Kissaki-Moroha-zukuri style blade

Image
1) Before Kissaki-moroha-zukuri blade appeared The oldest blade style of sword was hira-zukuri in Japan. Then, kiriha-zukuri blade appeared sometime later. They were all straight. Tachi with hira-zukuri blade (excavated from a grave 7th century) [1] Tachi blade of prince Shotoku (AD574 - 622), made in China [2] The signature on the blade says this is made by "Jiaolin" in the mouse year of Chinese zodiac (556 or 616AD). 2) Kissaki-moroha-zukuri blade appeared Some of the oldest kissaki-moroha-zukuri blades are found in the collection of the emperor Shomu (AD701 - 756). The collection has been kept in Shosoin at Todaiji temple in Nara. The collection has many swords in 8th century, and the condition is very good. Some of them are made in China, and some are made of the imported steel. Probably some are made of the steel produced in Japan.

THE HIDDEN LINEAGE – IN SEARCH OF THE HISTORY OF THE TOGAKURE RYU

Image
***UPDATE on: THE HIDDEN LINEAGE – IN SEARCH OF THE HISTORY OF THE TOGAKURE RYU*** Many have been asking me when the Togakure Ryu history book that includes the information about Toda will be ready. Honestly, I am slightly behind schedule due to several long business trips with my day job but I still plan to be finished with the rewriting and editing by the end of May. So, if things go really well I may have copies at the end of May. But by the latest I should have everything ready in June. I am also opening a new website in conjunction with the book to promote the BKR Dojo’s new member’s only content. I will still always be writing and posting for free here on Facebook but this will be for my personal students and for those who want more in depth videos and articles along with the chance to earn rank in the BKR syllabus created by myself and approved by Hatsumi Soke and Noguchi Dai-Shihan in 2001. There will be monthly live training webinars included for members. 

Ιαπωνία: Τα καθήκοντά του ανέλαβε επισήμως ο νέος αυτοκράτορας Ναρουχίτο

Image
Ο νέος αυτοκράτορας της Ιαπωνίας Ναρουχίτο ανέλαβε σήμερα επισήμως τα καθήκοντά του επισημαίνοντας ότι νιώθει δέος για τις ευθύνες που αναλαμβάνει, ενώ παράλληλα δεσμεύθηκε να εργαστεί ως σύμβολο του έθνους και της ενότητας του λαού. Ο πρώην αυτοκράτορας Ακιχίτο και η αυτοκράτειρα Μιτσίκο παραιτήθηκαν από τον θρόνο έπειτα από τρεις δεκαετίες στη διάρκεια μιας σύντομης, απλής τελετής. Ο 59χρονος Ναρουχίτο διαδέχθηκε τον πατέρα του τα μεσάνυκτα της Τρίτης προς Τετάρτη, όμως η ανάρρησή του στον Θρόνο των Χρυσανθέμων επισημοποιήθηκε στη διάρκεια μιας τελετής το πρωί, το πρώτο μέρος της οποίας δεν παρακολούθησε η σύζυγός και οι υπόλοιπες γυναίκες της αυτοκρατορικής οικογένειας, καθώς δεν το επιτρέπει η παράδοση. Ο Ναρουχίτο, ο πρώτος αυτοκράτορας που γεννήθηκε μετά τον Β’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και την ανατροφή του οποίου ανέλαβαν αποκλειστικά οι γονείς του, εξέφρασε την ευγνωμοσύνη του για το έργο των γονιών του τις τρεις τελευταίες δεκαετίες και τόνισε ότι νιώθει δέος για τ...

Kumogakure Ryû, 雲隠れ流, “Hidden School”

Image
The ninja of Kumogakure Ryu went into combat wearing armored sleeves to protect themselves. Another interesting feature of the ryu was the Demon Mask, sometimes worn by members of the system. Kikaku-ken (Demon Horn Fist, or head butt) gives rise to another theory of the Demon Mask. One of the special weapons of the style is the kamayari, or hooked spear. Used in combat against swordsmen, the hooks were used to parry and trap the incoming blades.

The Autobiography of Takamatsu Toshitsugu

Image
Written b y Takamatsu Toshitsugu My age will be 68, this year the 4lst year of Showa (1955). Until two or three years ago I had no idea of what my age was. This is simply because I did not want to know, however I do know that I was born in the 23rd year of Showa (1859). I am bewildered by the appearance of my face as it looks now but the reason for this is: I have not looked at myself in the mirror in some thirty years.
