It is a unique method of moving and thinking which developed our system often referred to us the art of winning. Taijustu is the basic defence method used. This method of relaxed continues body movement allows the user to create a never ending supply of effective counters to any given defence situation and is unique to Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is a complete fighting system dealing with the Physical, mental and spiritual aspects of student development. Techniques cover locks, throws, ground fighting, multiple attacks , modern weaponry, all types of traditional weaponry, punches, kicks, sweeps in fact their is NO restriction on the type of available technique we can add on to our taijutsu. The power of this relaxed system has to be experienced to be appreciated. Where did it come from Ninjutsu did not come into being a specific, well defined art in the first place, and many centuries passed before Ninjutsu was established as an independent system of knowledge in its own right. The Ninja, at the beginning did not use that label for themselves, they were merely practitioners of strategies that were cultural opposites of the conventional outlooks of the ruling Japanese Samurai class. Their highly illegal counter culture went underground and it was for this reason alone that the art was shrouded by centuries of mystery and deliberate confusion in Japanese history. In AD637, En no Gyoja, a warrior monk, set up his Shugendo Dojo in the Togakure mountains. This following carried on for a further 500 years. Diasuke Nishina was born into this sect in 1165. In 1181 the Shugendo Warriors were crushed by Heike Troops and Diasuke Nishina was forced to flee south to Iga Province. Here he met a mystic warrior priest - Kain Doshi. He studied this mysticism and adapted it to his own Shugendo learning. As a commemorate of his rebirth, he changed his name to Diasuke Togakure and with this the Togakure Ryu was born. Over the coming century's the Togakure Ryu absorbed other schools till finally encompassing 9 warrior schools. What was once condemned as an underground assassins technique, is today more recognised as a positive and powerful way of life in which harmony with nature, a working knowledge of universal laws and intuitive realisation of where the future is headed and learned through the experience of the Warrior Ways.
