" Kenjutsu-RYU SYSTEM '- Heiho
Dear All,
I allow myself for the next installment of my assumptions out the copyright system "-Ryu Kenjutsu"
DOMO!
Dariusz Wyspianski
" Heiho " is a strategy. Each of the traditional Japanese martial arts school has its source, " intellectual roots" on which to build its Adept identity and maturity necessary to become aware of a warrior.
"Ryu Kenjutsu" as referring to a system of samurai heritage, also refers to the spiritual heritage.
" Heiho " in the narrower sense, is synonymous with the word " strategy", in a broader context refers to the intellectual and spiritual foundation - the tradition of martial arts specified.
So in that context, the term " Heiho " can be regarded as a synonym for the word "doctrine ."
For "Ryu Kenjutsu" foundation "Heiho " (the essence of the doctrine ) constitute the following works, which compendium of knowledge about intellectual and spiritual traditions and history Land of the Rising Cherry:
"samurai" - Steven Turnbull The author of this excellent publication is a British historian, an expert on the history of Japan and the Orient, and at the fan culture of Japan.
book is issued in the form of an album, a very impressive layout. Excellent photographs, reproductions of historic paintings, clear charts and diagrams. A huge number of facts, covering the period from the dawn of the Japanese nation, until the year 1868, the year end of the samurai era. In addition to the rich
faktografii, deserves great attention into this publication, saturated with distance and a very British sense of humor. Item
Turnbull is the foundation of knowledge about the history of Japan, it will rise "building" knowledge Adept "Ryu Kenjutsu" Samurai culture.
"Bushido - The Soul of Japan" - Inazo Nitobe Professor Nitobe The book is the essence of historical knowledge about the Japanese rycerstwie, samurai value system and cultural phenomenon of BUSHIDO. The book published in 1899, was created as a result of reflection Professor Nitobe after a series of visits to academic centers of Europe. This is a position addressed to Europeans. Professor Nitobe referring to the European tradition of chivalrous attempts to introduce readers to the western cultural circle specificity of the Japanese mentality, while highlighting the similarities and differences between the standards of Bushido, and the Western Knight's Code. The work of Professor Nitobe is an absolute classic of the knowledge of the "Spirit" of Japan.
" MARTIAL ARTS Samurai - Fumon Tanaka "Martial Arts Samurai" by Fumona Tanaka is a publication that allows a closer understanding "bugei juhappan", meaning "eighteen martial arts" practiced by all samurai. It is interesting to look at lesser-known varieties of kobudo, however, such as made famous by Miyamoto Musashi's "school of two swords" (nitoken) or method of fighting short sword. No less interesting are the passages devoted to samurai manners: apparel, and kaishaku seppuku, suemonogiri and the cult of the sword, considered the "soul of the samurai." One thousand two hundred photographs and drawings provides a rich iconographic material of great value not only for martial arts enthusiasts, but for all those interested in history and culture of Japan .... "
advertised in such a way is the position of Shihan Tanaka Fumona . Since I want to put that book is an excellent example of a structured methodological knowledge of "Budo". This is an extremely valuable position for each Adept Japanese martial arts.
Adept "Ryu Kenjutsu" through its development is bound to know the history and philosophical heritage Land of the Rising Sun, and historical context of the development of samurai martial arts.
become very insignificant items that contributed to the trend of thought samurai classics - not the way to go in a conscious way, " Way of the Sword", not knowing intellectual heritage Swordmasters and thinkers Samurajóww inspired by their spiritual development - the key positions:
"Heiho KADENSHO" - Yagyu Munenori fundamental work of the patron, "Ryu Kenjutsu." It was in this work Munenori has his famous quote, which is the creed of "Ryu Kenjutsu:" Practice, and the results will come quietly SAME .. "
" Heiho KADENSHO "is a philosophical treatise outstanding Samurai - Yagyu MUNENORI (1571 - 1646), Master Sword, Adviser and Head of the secret services of three consecutive shogun Tokugawa dynasty - the patron saint of the System"-Ryu Kenjutsu. "
In his Munenori opposes establishment of Zen Buddhism, the Taoist doctrine of obedience and subordination. Munenoriego concept refers to whatever strategy kenjutsu, is a wider message - in my opinion - very interesting and creative.
Munenoriego Treaty contains assumptions of the "KA TSUJIN -KEN " - sword, giving force, a very interesting philosophical construct, assuming that if the sword kills in the name of the fair (good), in fact, the real life ....
"It happens often that a man is the perpetrator of the suffering of many people. In this case, his death brings them deliverance ......."
Other quotations from " Heiho Kadensho :
" The ability to perceive and a sober assessment of the situation that is the art of war ....."
"Sometimes you need to know the truth don the mask of falsehood, false subordinated pious goals come true, since it serves the good ......"
" Sword can take over the function of the mind . If you surrender to the rhythm of the fight, the rhythm of the seizure of your self, if you serve the good of the sword let him take over ....."
Sword of receiving a life villain, gives life to many unjustly oppressed ... "
" ; only How true is the importance of the sword, the sword of your mind ...."
last quote is the credo of a strategy for combating MUNENORI Yagyu one of the best fencers in the history of Japan, the creator of the school Kenjutsu - Shinkage Ryu Yagyu
Munenoriego work is a very interesting example of the Buddhist philosophy is not only dedicated to the art of war, but also ethics. Thoughts
Munenoriego spiritual heritage is the foundation of Adept System "Ryu Kenjutsu"
"PAPER Five Rings - Gorin no sho "- Miyamoto Musashi Without a doubt, the most frequently cited the work of master samurai, work philosophy, which entered into a global" readings of the canon "dedicated to strategy.
"The Book of Five Rings" by the legendary, undefeated Champion Sword - Musashi Miyamoty presents the creed of the Master and his views not only martial arts. "Gorin No Sho" formed at the end of the Master's life and can confidently say that Musashi is a life's work. "Gorin No Sho" is a Buddhist treatise on moral standards, to ethics, but most of all a parable about building efficiency, effectiveness in their operation. Master Musashi
using language comparisons, transmit to posterity the knowledge of how to pursue excellence in what you are doing and how to achieve that perfection. And in this aspect of the work Miyamoty is unique, immortal and universal. Perhaps that is why today is a good reading canon businessmen not only from Japan.
In my opinion, the proper "spirit" of the publication reflects the review that appeared on the occasion of the first American edition - " when Musashi says, the people listened in silence ..."
's quotations from the works of the Master Miyamoty :
"Today is your victory over you last night, tomorrow will be your victory over the inferior beings ...."
"Weapons are an extension of your body, body extension of the mind and the mind will ...."
"Military Law Other schools often believe that it is based solely on the art of swordsmanship. In my school, the law of war carries two important meanings: the wisdom that comes many benefits and fighting techniques ... "
" Hagakure - Notes hidden under the leaves "- Yamamoto Tsunetomo "Hagakure " was written in the early eighteenth century, so in times of peace. The author after the death of his master Nabeshimy Mitsuhige, according to Buddhist custom, chose the way of the monk and settled in a small hermitage, situated in a place called Kuratsuchibaru, twelve miles north of the fortress Saga in Kyushu. Yamamoto Tsunetomo
work is a parable, which describes the behavior in accordance with the canons of the Samurai "Bushido." Although the situations are described in fiction, in an appropriate way reflect the standards of samurai code of honor.
"Notes hidden under leaves", is a philosophical treatise, showing the way to a proper understanding of samurai ethics and rules of conduct. It is worth noting that although the "Hagakure" in its content often refers to the glory of samurai weapons, has been written about the year 1710, almost 100 years since the play more battles on the lands of Japan. Although undoubtedly a propagandist nature, "Hagakure" is an interesting item, a complete description of the situation to illustrate understanding of the ethical standards of the samurai class, rich in quotes and summaries of moralizing.
Here is a quote from this work:
"A swordsman during his senile years, said the following:
In life there are different levels of the pursuit of knowledge. At the lowest level, a person learns, but does not achieve results. It feels insecure and thus are seen by others as uneducated. At this stage, it is useless. On the middle level, it is also useless, but is conscious of its sees the lack of gaps in other people. At a higher level is proud knowing his ability, rejoices in being appreciated by others, and laments the lack of ability of their comrades. This man knows his value. At the highest level a man has the look of a modest man and did not omniscient. These are the general levels. However, there is still the single most important level: A person on it is aware of the infinity of encroachment on the right path, and not thinking about myself, as someone or something, ended (made), and fulfilled. Well she knows your weaknesses and do not perceive his life as a hot streak. Knowing the way to the end without thinking about himself with pride, but with embarrassment.
It is said that Master Yagyu Munenori once said:
"I do not know how to overcome the other, but I know how to beat yourself."
Through his whole life developing, becoming progressively more perfect. Today, more perfect than yesterday, and tomorrow more than today. It never ends .... "
"The Knight and the Samurai" - Takeshi Takagi " Knights and Samurai" is a brilliantly conducted a comparative analysis of behavior, ethical standards and philosophy of the European knight and fight the Japanese samurai - excellent educational material for all those who follow the "way of samurai sword."

A unique treatise from 1914, written by a Japanese researcher, Dr. Takeshi Takagi (1879-1944), comparing the European knights of the Middle Ages to the samurai of feudal Japan.

" CODE OF YOUNG Samurai "- Shigesuke Daidoji Yuzan "Daidoji Yuzan Taira-no Shigesuke (1639-1730) was born in the famous samurai family, which derives its origin from the warrior of the tenth century, Taira Korehiry.

He recognized, therefore, strict military traditions of the Edo period and the beginning of the era of luxury Genroku. He witnessed the tragedy and revenge Duke Asano forty-seven ronin, which is considered an example of knightly heroic fidelity and fortitude. He saw also how old families bow to decline, riddled by the intrigues and corruption. With all these experiences in mind Yuzana the imagination of the ideal of the samurai, faithful to the principles of chivalry and still living in the shadow of death. But in contrast to the old codes, arranged by the rulers for the use of subjects, shoshinshu Budo is written with the position of a vassal, and addressed to the people of the same state.
