Yamabushi Ryu Shugendo
Rooted in Tibetan Tantric origins through the Kunlun Black dragon methods, the forms are elemental in nature and open the psychic channels and corresponding energy centers that relate to the shape of the tantric temples of Nepal and Tibet. There are mudras called Kuji Kiri for each form or Katachi. The forms evolve from lines to angles to curves and circular and spiral forces. Each consecutive form influences the ones before it. Each form manipulates the matching element in yourself and the opponent. The forms teach the practitioner about the elements of the body and how they work individually, and combined. The path is self mastery through articulate knowledge applied to brilliant and skillful technique to achieve wisdom and compassion which bring enlightenment.
