Introduction to Tennen Rishin-ryu Kenjutsu : "Gekiken practice" called "kendo's ancestor" for real fighting by Kato Kyoji
 
Striking! Grappling! Throwing!
 
Gekiken Practice: The system of Kondo Isami, captain of the Shinsengumi and his lineage’s dojo, Hatsuunkan, simulating real fighting!
 
This is gekiken practice, also called “kendo’s ancestor”. Although the fans of the Shinsengumi, shogun’s special police force might have heard the word “gekiken”, its actual meaning is surprisingly unknown.
 
In this video, we are introducing what has thought to cover more than half of the practice of Tennen Rishin-ryu, the school of swordsmanship practiced by Shinsengumi heads Kondo Isami and Hijikata Toshizo, in the closing years of the Edo Period. The school’s Shihan, Kato Kyoji explains the basic principles and reasoning behind the techniques that made Shinsengumi such a formidable force.
 
Demonstrating striking, grappling and throwing techniques that differ from modern kendo, this is a stirring new take on classical martial arts’ practice.
 
Instruction, editorial supervision: Kato Kyoji
