About Tendō-ryū: Founded in 1581 (Tenshō 9) by Saito Hangan Denkibo, a disciple of Tsukahara Bokuden, Tendō-ryū is a comprehensive martial art encompassing techniques with a wide array of weapons, including naginata, swords, two swords, canes, kodachi, tanto, and kusarigama. Its forms are regarded as serious martial contests, characterized by dynamic techniques that adapt to and exploit opponents’ movements through precise pushing, pulling, and thrusting with the naginata. Notable features include open hips and powerful leg crossings, enhancing the art’s effectiveness and distinctiveness.
