TO-SHIN DO HISTORICAL LEGACY
The Kasumi-An martial art of To-Shin Do was born of the historical legacy behind three important roots
of the ancient cultural heritage of Japan:
TO - the sword
From the ninja combat methods of the legendary phantom warriors born of Mt. Togakure and cultivated in the wooded mountains
and marshes of shadowy Iga comes the core of our physical protection techniques and strategies. To-Shin Do martial arts practice is
a great way to reduce stress and increase strength, endurance, and flexibility, while fostering a sense of peace, security, and
control
in life.
SHIN - the focused spirit of intention
From the kuji intention-channelling training of the shugenja mountain spirit seekers of Mt.
Yoshino comes the essence of our program for the discovery and development of the nine key qualities that characterize a fully actualized
human being. We can achieve a more focused and disciplined understanding of the cause and effect dynamics that lead to success and
fulfilment in life.
DO - the path to mastery
From the originally Himalayan esoteric mikkyo vajrayana mind and spirit sciences of Mt. Hiei comes the technique
of cultivating our unlimited physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual potentials. We can leam skillful ways to transform the inner
and outer challenges of life into success, and ultimately come to grips with the question of how to experience directly the significance
of life itself.
