The blog is the place where the deeper material lives — the historical research, the lineage discussions, the experience reports, the philosophy. Most articles are still being translated from German. As they become available, they appear here.
What you'll find in the blog
- Ninjutsu lineage history — Hattori Hanzō, Momochi Sandayū, Iga and Kōga, the three manuscripts, the Taguchi line
- Kuji Kiri foundations — the nine seals, the Sanskrit syllables behind them, Kotodama, the mudras, the ritual of the warrior
- Sacred warrior path — what it means to walk this path today, in a world that no longer recognises the warrior
- Japanese spiritual landscape — Tengu mountains, the Shikoku pilgrimage, Kūkai and Shingon, sacred calligraphy
- Filipino arts — Escrima, Arnis, the shamanic roots of Filipino combat
- Daoist arts — Bagua, Tai Chi, the shamanic origin of Daoist martial practice
