The
Shinden Fudō Ryū was created in the 12th century. At a time when the samurai had risen more and more as a warrior nobility with many military conflicts. There are two common translations. On the one hand, it is translated as "school of the immovable heart" or also as "school of the true heart".
In Shinden Fudō Ryū, the focus is on the naturalness of movement in combination with a closeness to nature. This enables quick and efficient use on the battlefield.
In cooperation with my Sensei
Jürgen Bieber and the students of the Bujinkan Furyu Dojo in Neu-Ulm we have designed this
Shinden Fudō Ryū Iaito Katana.
