Shintō-ryū (神刀流) is a school of Japanese martial arts with a curriculum encompassing kendbudō, shibudō, iaidō, iaibattōdō and gin'eidō.[2] It was founded by Hibino Raifū in 1890.[3] Its main goal is strengthening the body, nourishing the spirit, and training for personal development; all by the means of the sword.[2]
History[edit]
By 1887, Hibino Raifū was already a well-known gekiken fighter and iaidō practitioner. In 1888 he received by Aide-de-camp to the Crown Prince of Japan, Sugiyama Naoya, the advice of working on "raising and preserving the Spirit of Bushidō". He decided to systematically take martial dancing elements from kenjutsu, iaijutsu, jūjutsu, karate, and traditional Japanese dance, and create a new type of kenbu called Shintō-ryū Kenbujutsu (神刀流剣舞術) in that same year.[4] [5] Later, he changed the kenbujutsu (剣舞術) name with (剣武術), which has the same reading, but replacing the "bu" kanji with (武= martial) instead of (舞=dance).[6]
Outside Japan[edit]
Shintō-ryū is also officially[7] practiced in Brazil,[8] [9] Ecuador[10] and Paraguay.[11]
