About Us - Federation
Our federation provides the space and opportunities to search for "the SAMURAI spirit" by using Japanese swords.
You will be able to discover the beauty of the Japanese tradition in the way one moves and learns.
The SAMURAI spirit values the five Confucian virtues. One of them is "仁" meaning universal benevolence toward others which leads to hope for peace.
We are open to people from all countries in order to spread that virtue all over the world.
We, DAINIPPON YUSHIN-RYU BUDO Federation provide training to help the SAMURAI spirit from Japan to spread and reach people of any gender or race in order to contribute to the peace of humankind.
Greeting
The Japanese sword tradition that has been passed down for over 1,600 years.
The unique spirit has been developed with the long-lasting tradition.
At YUSHIN-RYU, we offer opportunities for training of swordsmanship by use of swords as a tool to nurture people instead of a lethal arm.I was looking for a training school that teaches the real thing to me as a swordfight arranger and became a member of YUSHIN-RYU based on the conviction that they are authentic.
In martial arts, the quest to evolve never ends and I will never be completely trained. However, I have been the Osaka Branch leader to the present day.
since the founding in 2005 under the order of the head of YUSHIN-RYU, "Seto Tenyu Hirotoshi".Anyone of any gender who is 6 or older can be trained at the permanent DOJO (gym) that we run.
Our school also has a women's only class of women's IAIDO KATA (form and movement).
The class is designed to teach women graceful movements and manners that incorporate the strong and the gentle.We take pride in being one of the best schools that run the DOJO with intent to pursue the essential meanings of the traditional Japanese SAMURAI spirit.
We help people strive for good moral personalities while devoting themselves to practice bravely and wholeheartedly.I look forward to your participation.
