BANSENSHUKAI (萬川集海) READ IN FULL - NINJA DENSHO . Here, I am with a Ninjutsu Densho from my private collection called the: Bansenshukai. . The
Bansenshukai (萬川集海) is an authentic ninjutsu manual written by
Fujibayashi Yasutake in 1676. It is regarded as one of the three key
historical texts of ninjutsu, along with the Shoninki and the Ninpiden.
The Bansenshukai translates out as: “Ten Thousand Rivers Flow Together
To Form An Ocean” and is regarded as the bible of ninjutsu. . “You
should embrace the old ways of the shinobi who served under ancient
great generals, but remember not only to keep these ways but to adapt
them, each dependent on the situation and the moment. Ignorant ninja are
not aware of this principal but directly stick to ancient ways and do
not even know the simplest of facts. It is folly to see something as
unchangeable and stick to an old method without realizing that things
keep changing and are in flux." - Fujibayashi Yasutake; Bansenshukai (1676)
This lesson is directly for the practitioners of the ancient
Japanese koryu martial arts of the ninja and samurai, such as ninjutsu (ninpo)
and bujutsu (budo).

In this video, I teach a technique from the Tomo-ryu called:
“Yari-Yose” (Spear Catcher).This is a
technique that is passed down in the Tomo-ryu school of Shinobijutsu (戸猛流忍術) to teach
how to utilize the sageo (下げ緒) on the scabbard,
as a means to disarm a spearman, finish him, then evade.
.
The Bansenshukai (萬川集海) written in
1676, also has a technique called “yari-yose”.Even though this technique has the same name, same objective and
purpose; there are slight differences between the technique “yari-yose” in the
Bansenshukai, and the “yari-yose” that is taught in the Tom-ryu.
.
In the Bansenshukai it says:
“The yariyose or the ‘spear catcher’ – tie the end of the sageo
cord onto your short sword. Draw the sword out fully and hold it in your right
hand and the scabbard in your left hand, with the rope hanging between. When a
spear is stabbed at you, catch it and wrap the sageo cord around the spear and
take the enemy’s weapon.”
- Fujubayashi Yasutake – Bansenshukai (1676)
.
-(1)The
Bansenshukai says to tie the rope to your sword while the other end is tied to
the saya (scabbard). In the Tomo-ryu, it says to hold one end of the saego in
your hand, with the other end tied to the scabbard.
-(2) The Bansenshukai says that the sword should be
drawn, with the sageo hanging between the sword and the saya. In the Tomo-ryu
the sword is not drawn, it stays in the scabbard, till after you disarm the
spear from the enemy.
-(3) The Bansenshukai does not mention using the saya
(scabbard) as a means to deflect or block the oncoming spear.In the Tomo-ryu this part of the transmission
is a crucial aspect towards the technique.
-(4) The Bansenshukai has no mention at all with how to
stab or position the sword when going in to finish the enemy.This aspect is covered in depth as to why the
sword needs to be drawn the way that it is, and used the way that it is, when
learning the technique.
.
In the end, different ninja ryuha do similar techniques
differently. As the 21st Soke of the Tomo-ryu it is my
responsibility to teach these ancient ways and preserve those techniques that
have been passed down to me.However,
because we teach various ryuha within the Budo Ryu Kai and because I encourage
my students to research and learn as much as they can - it is also my
responsibility to explain how a technique from one ryuha is different from
another ryuha.It is also my responsibility
to explain and teach techniques from public historical sources such as the
Bansenshukai, Ninpiden and Shoninki, explain the similarities and differences
from them towards the 7 warrior traditions that we have within the Budo Ryu
Kai.This gives the students a much deeper
understanding and greater perception of the ancient ninja and samurai martial
arts, what they truly did, and how the truly did it.

and bujutsu (budo).
In this video I share a quote from the Bansenshukai
regarding the importance of keeping ninjutsu secret and only teaching those
that are truly able to understand the depth of ninpo.
.
The Bansenshukai (萬川集海) translates
as “All Rivers Merge into the Sea”, meaning that the Bansenshukai is the
ultimate collection of all Iga & Koka Ninjutsu and is regarded by scholars
as the Bible of Ninjutsu.

-Ancient Witchcraft Analogy (Ninjutsu Community)
-Truth vs Fact (Ninjutsu Study)
-Extreme Training for Extreme Results (Martial Arts /
Self Defense)

This is a very lengthy video because I felt it was better
for me to cover all of the angles of this one subject, rather than just
approaching it from one angle. However, with that being said, I did leave out
many things as well, and I can discuss those aspects in future videos.
.
To all of my students and supporters, please
understand.There is not substitute for
training.There is no book that will save
your life and no magickal spell or magical pill that will protect you from
violence. To protect yourself and the ones that you love, you need to train.
Just as Miyamoto Musashi says: “The Way is in Training”.
