Welcome to the website of Ittō Tenshin-ryū® Kenjutsu, Yamate-ryū® Aikijutsu, and Goseki-ryū Aiki Heihō®
The primary purpose of our traditions is the realization of an orderly, unfettered and powerful being.
While the cultural context in which these fighting traditions developed no longer exists, teachings to address conflict and strategy are as relevant today as they were at their inception. Principles for human performance and spiritual development are timeless.
