TOGAKURE RYU NINPO-TAIJUTSU
The most important thing in Togakure-ryū Ninpō-taijutsu/Ninjutsu is to have a warrior’s
heart. Takamatsu Sensei always used to say, “The heart of a warrior means a sincere
heart. As Kajô Chikusei teaches us, one must strive to be as gentle as a flower, and as
straight – moreover, as straightforward – as bamboo.” The essence of a flower is nature
at work, the essence of bamboo is a natural way of life. Ninjutsu is a great warrior’s path
open only to those whose heart is in the right place.
In Ninpô and the ways of martial strategy, the three types of Kamae have much in
common:
– 体構え TAI KAMAE (body stances)
– 陣構え JIN KAMAE (battle formations)
– 城構え SHIRO KAMAE (castle formations)
The determination hidden inside each of these Kamae reveals itself as the power of
one’s spirit.
