Tanemura Sensei

Grandmaster Tanemura

Grandmaster Tanemura was born with the name Tsunehisa Tanemura on the 28th of August 1947, in the town of Matsubushi, which is located in Saitama prefecture, Japan. Tsunehisa was his given name, but later he took the name "Shoto" meaning the "Law of the Sword".

Tanemura Sensei's martial arts training began with his father when he was just 9 years old, training in both unarmed and armed techniques. He continued to study martial arts with dedication and was awarded his first Menkyo Kaiden (full mastership) in Shinden Fudo Ryu and Kukishin Ryu at the age of twenty. He has continued to study and teach martial arts, establishing the Genbukan World Ninpo Bugei in 1984 to show to the world what a true Japanese martial art is.

Currently Grandmaster Tanemura is the president of three organisations and holds masterships in over twenty schools.
