Dedication, History and umpararelled expertise

Our clan is the only remaining ninja clan whose ancestors served
the Tokugawa Shogunate for 265 years. In 1868 they became independent so they could continue to keep their identity as shinobi.
All of our ninja weapons have been handcrafted in the clan.

Our ancestors were, shinobi samurai. They were of samurai lineage, and they trained local people to work as shinobinomono. Our ancestors escorted Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1582, and that's when our clan history really started.

In this hands-on ninja and samurai experience, the basic principles of
the Ninshido (shinobi samurai philosophy) are introduced in a practical, dynamic and mindful way.

If you want to know the clan's mindsets, history and tradition, you need
a reliable experienced instructor (6th Dan or higher black belt) and a licensed interpreter/trainer with specialized knowledge.
