Our classes are kept small to keep it more personal, with that in mind we don't allow the public to come in off the street and watch, all classes must be booked with the Instructor. A normal class will be one and a half hours and have a maximum of ten students and two Instructors.
Private classes can be either one on one or two on one with the Instructor. These are held on a Sunday only at 10, 11 and 12 they are booked in advance as spaces are very limited. All students from any system are welcome to book, please email John O'Connor.
Ninpo Taijutsu Bristol
Kumogakure Ryu
The
taijutsu of Kumogakure Ryu is very similar to Togakure Ryu.The Kumogakure Ryu may have been created by
the Toda family (also of Togkakure Ryu) in the 1600's, as a ninjutsu school of
thought- centering it's techniques on the non-violent side of Ninpo.(The Togakure Ryu teaches that violence is to
be avoided).
The ninja of Kumogakure Ryu went into
combat wearing armored sleeves to protect themselves.Another interesting feature of the ryu was
the Demon Mask, sometimes worn by members of the system.Kikaku-ken (Demon Horn Fist, or head butt)
gives rise to another theory of the Demon Mask. One of the special weapons of
the style is the kamayari, or hooked spear.Used in combat against swordsmen, the hooks were used to parry and trap
the incoming blades.It was also used to
hook opponents from above.The
Kumogakure Ryu densho mentions a ninja named Sarutobi Sasuke, who used the
kamayari when leaping from tree to tree, hooking it onto the branches.
Another Kumogakure Ryu speciality
involved survival training, and being able to light fires under all conditions.
Iga Heinaizaemon had a son, Kami
Hattori Heitaro Koreyuki, who was the ancestor of Hattori Hanzo, the famous
ninja.
