Our Ryū

Additional information about our Ryū and affiliated Dōjō can be found at www.heiho.org.

The Yūgen Dōjō operates under the leadership of Mr. Arvind Rajguru, headmaster of the Ittō Tenshin Ryū.

As members of the Yūgen Dōjō, students are afforded the opportunity to periodically train with senior instructors and fellow students in affiliated Dōjō from across the country. Just as importantly, students are on a path to share the camaraderie and join a wider community of men and women for whom the study of Būdō is an essential and vital part of life.
