@@@  Our
legacy
Till about a decade
ago, I didn't know very much
about my @ grandfather. I just knew him as a retired officer
from the
Salvation Army. But after his 50th
memorial, my father
revealed to
me very amazing histories of my grandfather
and my onmitsu
ancestors who worked for Edo Shogunate.

What is Ninja?
Everywhere you turn, you find a different definition, especially in the movies. Though quite a few were experts in matters of intrusion, sabotage, and elimination, we
have defined the contemporary ninjas as members of a tight-knit clan whose goals they
share. Some ninjas are generalists, equally at home in matters of stealth and combat. Some are specialists, becoming adept at social skills, magic, or interaction with nature.
All seek to maintain "balance"
or peace of mind in life to survive, and train themselves
to heighten their awareness
and perseverence.
The
ninjas, in striving to reach their goals, develop the individual persons
and sensibility
to survival. They protect others, stand up
for
freedoms, and build a great community of friends.
And the ultimate goal
is to reach and follow the path to the
" ๓ (Ku)" or no-self,
where there is no conflict.
@@ Our
Ryuha (school) ฌ
Because of its assimilation of various aspects of the other martial
art forms,
we have decided to call our the martial arts of our clan "Musashi-ryu". And
ninjutsu comprises one part of our comprehensive arts.
It is popularly known as Musashi-ryu Ninjutsu cf: About us
@@ What we
offer
Our ancestors
made efforts for peace-keeping in the country, so we feel it our
mission to work for the same cause. Thus we have
begun our activities to build a bridge for international
friendship by introducing the fundamental spirit of our shinobi
culture and offer some
programs to entertain friends from abroad. We
think it means a lot to both, our guests and ninjas to have an opportunity for
cultural exchange.
