The Yagy\u016bkai was founded in 1955 by the 20th Head Master Yagy\u016b Toshinaga. The dojo since the Owari clan was burned down due to the war damage, but the strict style of the Ry\u016b continues to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, regular training is being conducted in several places such as Tokyo and Osaka, centering on Nagoya, and not only Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b Heih\u014d, but also Yagy\u016b Seigo Ry\u016b Batt\u014d and a lecture (explanation of oral evangelism, etc.) are taught directly by the Yagy\u016b S\u014dke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Purpose of Founding the Yagy\u016bkai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The words \u201cestablishing\u201d and \u201chanding down\u201d, are very important in life. Indeed, establishing, or creating, is difficult, but maintaining what has been established for many generations is much more so. Continuity is needed for the spirituality and correct character of something to be handed down. No ordinary men could be excepted to do this. It takes a high degree of spirituality and character to pass on difficult contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kendo has achieved a level of spirituality and technique that the Japanese have attained by hard cultivation. The Shinkage Ry\u016b that was handed-down from Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to Yagy\u016b Sekisy\u016bsai can be said to be a source of the spirit of kendo in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a rare event that 20 generation late, a master such as Yagy\u016b Toshinaga should come correctly from this origin. It can be said that this is a proud point of Japanese history. We hope to protect this precious traditional art and hand it down forever. This is the reason for establishing the Yagy\u016bkai. If many people approve of this, we would be very grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By: Yasuoka Masahiro sensei, September of 1955<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Vision Statement of Shinkage Ry\u016b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our objective is that we practice correctly with the original intentions that the founder, Kamiizumi Ise-no-kami introduced to the Yagy\u016b family tradition, and that through this we will perform Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b\u2019s truth correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on the laws of swordsmanship, we must understand our own minds, so that we may act freely, and accomplish what we must in our lives utilizing our complete natural potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We expect that by following the truth of Shinkage Ry\u016b, our personalities will mature, as will our sense of duty to our family and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By: The 20th Head Master Yagy\u016b Toshinaga<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yagy\u016bkai Members Code<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The dojo (training hall) is where we nurture \u201cSangaku\u201d (Learning correctly, concentrating ourselves and wisdom) in ourselves by respecting the truth of Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b and believing in the teachings of successive masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the practice of asceticism throughout life. We should perform our duty by using our awakened natural potential. Even though we may not attain full enlightenment, we will be able to attain peace of mind by continually devoting ourselves to Yagy\u016b Shinkage Ry\u016b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An ordinary person cannot understand the secrets of heih\u014d (the strategies of war\/combat). Therefore, if we students mistakenly believe we can master the strategies without great effort, we will make serious mistakes and will ruin ourselves. Members of the Yagy\u016bkai should always conduct ourselves as gentlemen. We should never forget the virtues of budo. Members should never bring disgrace on the Yagy\u016bkai by our words or activities, Even if we attain a superior level, we should not boast of ourselves. Instead, we should try to spread the Ry\u016b with modesty, and enhance it with passion. We are under obligation to obey and develop that which our successive headmasters have devoted themselves to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By: the 20th Head Master Yagy\u016b Toshinaga<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Yagy\u016bkai was founded in 1955 by the 20th Head Master Yagy\u016b Toshinaga.
