Ryusui means ‘flowing water’.

Tanemura Sensei compares the flowing water in a Japanese mountain river with the martial art Ninpo. Every turn in the river is an obstacle that needs to be taken by the water. Just like every kyu is an obstacle to be taken by the martial artist. Some places in the river flow fast, some slow.. Like Ninpo, some passages can be taken fast, but some are difficult and need more time. Ninpo is like water, it is constantly in motion en can take new forms. Water is a symbol of a circle of life. It evaporates from the sea, turns into clouds and above land it becomes rain which will fill the rivers with water, the rivers take the water back to the sea… Another lifecircle is the martial art. When reaching the highest level, the martial artist man is back at the beginning. At this high level the techniques learned in the very beginning then show other perspectives and the years of experience make other movements/techniques possible...
Ninpo is in motion...

Ninpo Bugei Taijutsu is a Japanese Art that has it's origins some 1000 years ago.
