The current of knowledge and techniques studied and practiced at the Seishin Dôjô stretch back over 8 centuries of tumultuous Japanese history. They are drawn from nine martial lineages, developed in secrecy as methods of survival due to incessant civil strife, warfare, and intense social upheaval and violence in the days of feudal Japan. From unarmed combat to a wide range of long and short weapons, accompanied by efficient methods of strategy and tactics, the nine traditions provide the student of the Seishin Dôjô with a time-tested path towards developing efficiency and precision of body movement in fighting situations. Along with this development comes an increased sensory awareness, peace of mind, and a personal confidence in one’s ability to avoid unnecessary conflict, stay safe, and emerge safely from a violent altercation, should it arise.
Endurance. Perseverance. Survival.
This is the trinity and essence behind the practice of ninpô-taijutsu.
