TOMO RYU SHINOBIJUTSU

NINJUTSU TRAINING

As the lineage of the Tomo-ryu continues, the 17th Soke Nakashima Fumio trained in other family traditions such as the Nakamura-ryu, Kobayashi-ryu, Nakashima-ryu, Akutagawa-ryu as well as Tomo-ryu. It is with these teachings that Nakashima Sensei combined all of his bujutsu and ninjutsu training calling this method Tomo-ryu Shinobijutsu (Door of the Fierce School). Tomo-ryu Keiko consists of the Goke, also known as the five houses, which is the training of five family transmissions. The main family tradition and foundation of all kuden that is taught is the Tomo-ryu. Each of these five family traditions has its own direct purpose and specialization towards war.

The training within the Tomo-ryu is very physically demanding. Challenging your body to achieve extreme physical abilities, such as hanging from rafters, holding your breath for lengths of time, climbing, lifting, and swimming skills as well the ability to live in the wilderness for months on end are a necessity. This is part of the training in order to develop your mind, body, and spirit to be as sharp and as strong as the katana. You must constantly push and forge yourself to achieve the necessary skills of the shinobi. This extreme mental and physical training approach towards preparing for warfare has always been a staple point of the Tomo-ryu. Striking trees, sand, and the training floor to condition skin and bone, lifting heavy rocks and weighted objects to build muscle, and running and walking for miles to condition cardiovascular ability are only a few of the training methods. In the Tomo-ryu, the training goes further into the extreme so that no matter what situation you are in, whether you are killing someone, being captured, raped, tortured, or having to fight many enemies at once who are heavily armed with weaponry, you have the physical strength, mental strength, and skill to overcome any situation.
