TENSHIRYU ONLINE is an online dojo where you can learn TENSHINRYU through the Internet.
It is a special learning place where you can learn in depth from the basics that students of TENSHIRYU learn to the fine points of technique.

Ten years ago, Tenshinryu was hardly known. And for decades, there were very few students.
Tenshin Sensei always said at that time.
"Tenshinryu is already over"

We thought it was the mission of the students to leave this traditional culture.
So, while practicing hard, we desperately gathered and advertised the students.

Then, Tenshinryu gradually gained popularity on social media and as a result the number of students increased as well.
Now, Tenshinryu has become well-known in many foreign countries. And many people all over the globe wish to learn Tenshinryu.
However, there aren’t many places and therefore opportunities to do so. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to found branch schools of Tenshinryu everywhere.

Instead, we want to introduce to you TENSHINRYU ONLINE to cater to the wishes of those who are willing to accept and learn our ways, to spread Tenshinryu even further.
We hope to teach Tenshinryu correctly to many people via the internet and hence connect with them wherever they may be.
Everyone knows that receiving direct guidance is most crucial in order to learn the right skills.
But even if it’s not perfect, constant pratice with a clear goal is the most important.
With all this in mind, let us start this journey together.
