Historical Milestones of Tamiya Ryu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese historical research divides the development of Tamiya-ry\u016b into three main eras: the initial Ko-Tamiya (Old Tamiya), the feudal-era Kish\u016b Tamiya, and the Shin Tamiya phase, which branch into domain-specific lineages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founding in the Tensh\u014d Era (1573\u20131591)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late 16th century<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamiya Heibei Shigemasa mastered the deeper secrets of Hayashizaki-style swordsmanship (swordsmanship\/drawing) and, incorporating his own combat experiences, founded the Ko-Tamiya (\u53e4\u7530\u5bae) school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Official School of the Kish\u016b Domain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early 17th century<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shigemasa’s son, Tamiya Tsushima no Kami Nagakatsu, entered the service of Tokugawa Yorinobu, the first daimyo of the Kish\u016b Domain (Kish\u016b-han). The style became the official martial art for this branch of the Tokugawa clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spread to Saij\u014d (Tamiya Shinken-ry\u016b)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1670<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matsudaira Yorisumi, son of Tokugawa Yorinobu, assumed control of the Iyo-Saij\u014d Domain (Ehime Prefecture). Nagakatsu’s student, Eda Gizaemon, brought the style to Saij\u014d, where it flourished under the name Tamiya Shinken-ry\u016b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legacy of the Tsumaki Family<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1797\u2013Present<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1797, Tsumaki Junjir\u014d Mototsugu inherited the leadership of the school. The Tsumaki family preserved the tradition across generations; through the work of the 14th s\u014dke, Tsumaki Seirin, and later the 15th s\u014dke, Tsumaki Kazuo, the school remains a recognized Japanese Intangible Cultural Heritage (Mukei Bunkazai) today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odawara Tamiya Ryu \u2013 Fukui Ha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fukui Seiichi Sensei was a prominent student of the 14th s\u014dke, Tsumaki Seirin. As a leader of the Kanagawa Prefecture ZNKR organization, he conducted extensive research into the life’s work of Kubota Sugane. Kubota was an instructor at the Tokugawa Shogunate’s official martial arts academy (Kobusho) in Edo. He was not only an exceptional swordsman, but also a remarkably thorough analyst and writer. As a master of Tamiya Ryu studying the knowledge base of the style’s various branches (both Kish\u016b and Saij\u014d traditions), he left behind several decisive manuscripts (densho) and analytical works. Thanks to Fukui Sensei’s research, we have the techniques of Tamiya Ryu Okugishuu today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamiya Ryu is an exceptionally elegant and dignified koryu martial arts school, traditionally characterized by expansive, sweeping movements, active zanshin providing complete spatial control, and a harmony of combat decisiveness and inner serenity. Practicing it is highly rewarding because, through meticulously refined and precise kata, it elevates mental focus, posture, and body coordination to an outstanding level. At the same time, it bestows a stress-relieving, meditative discipline upon the practitioner and offers a direct gateway to the authentic, centuries-old spiritual and physical heritage of samurai culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
