View Full Version : Need some serious help finding Shinsengumi art.

I'm seriously looking into the Tennen Rishin-Ryu style, or the way the Shinsengumi fought. I know that the probability of finding one in VA, let alone the states, is very improbable. With that being said, i'm hoping that there would be a dojo in Japan that still teaches TR-Ryu. The same way Okita, Saito, Nagakura fought.
So if there is anyone, hopefully in Japan, can do a little research for me to find one, it would be greatly appreciated.

If possible however, I would like to find a Mugai Ryu dojo in VA.

TR Ryu is extant in Japan, though I haven't got their contact info handy. I think they're a very small group nowadays.
Peter Boylan has a couple of TR DVDs on his website (www.budogu.com).
As for Mugai Ryu, if you do a search here, you'll find info about the system in the US and can dig up some contacts.

Tennen Rishin Ryu is indeed still extant here in Japan. There are two groups I know of that train in the Tokyo/Saitama areas and one of those uses the Fuchu Taiikukan to train in weekdays..
No real web presence in English however..And as far as I can see no one who trains in Virginia so you may be out of luck there.
If your Japanese is up to it there's many websites in Japanese here..
This is one based in Ibaragi..There are several more..

There is a group in Philadelphia that practices the Yamato line of Yagyu Shinkage Ryu. I seem to remember from their website that the instructor at that dojo also trained in Tennen Rishin Ryu to some extent, but I can't seem to access the website at the moment to confirm that. You might want to try contacting members of that dojo who post on this forum to learn more.
There is more koryu in VA (I think a handful of different groups are doing Shindo Muso Ryu), but nothing really associated with the Shinsengumi as far as I know.
Edit: found the Philadelphia Yagyu website. Try this link:
