合氣護身術大東流無傳塾



大東流合氣柔術は900年前清和天皇の末孫である新羅三郎源義光を始祖とし、歴代甲斐武田家に伝わった秘術です。

武田信玄他界後、武田国継によって会津武田に伝えられ後々、大東流を殿中護身武芸御敷居内(おしきうち)に改め会津藩御止技(おとめわざ)として歴代藩主が継承。家老、重臣及び小姓等に伝授された格式高い門外不出の秘術でありました。

明治維新後、大東流合氣柔術の中興の祖といわれた武田惣角は会津藩筆頭家老西郷頼母(改名:保科近悳)から「すでに剣の時代は去った、会津藩御止技である合氣柔術の秘法を後世に伝えよ」と訓され、この時より剣術から大東流合氣柔術に転向し世に公開し指導普及に努めた。ときに明治31年(1898)5月12日である。

には明治43年(1910)財部実秀が北海道警察部長に栄転の際、武田惣角に要請あって随行渡道した。これが武田惣角と当時湧別 (ゆうべつ)駅逓(堀川旅館)を経営していた堀川泰宗(堀川幸道の父)との出会いとなった。

惣角はこの地、湧別を永住地に定め巡回普及指導した。門人に堀川泰宗、堀川幸道(大正3年 1914年入門)植芝盛平(合氣道開祖)、佐川幸義、松田敏美、久琢磨と奥山竜峰(八光流開祖)等多士済々がおるが、もっとも長く指導を受け、その秘術をことごとく受け継いだと言われるのが、堀川幸道(永世名人位 )である。

武田惣角の御子息武田時宗宗家は1993年まで北海道網走市にあった。飯田宏雄は、堀川幸道直伝の門弟であり、後に幸道会後継者となった井上祐助の二人に師事し、薫陶を得ること三十有余年。当「無傳塾」は新世紀の日が昇る輝かしい2001年1月1日に飯田塾長が創設した会派である。(敬称略)


Daito-Ryu Aiki Jujutsu

History

The origin of Daito-Ryu Aiki Jujutsu dates back nine hundred years to the Emperor Seiwa (reigned A.D 858 - 876) and his grandson, Shinra Saburo Minamoto No Yoshimitsu. Yoshimitsu is considered the founder of the tradition.

His family settled in the village of Takeda in Koma/Kai. (Now in Yamanashi Prefecture). There, the art passed through the Takeda clan including the famous warrior Shingen Takeda. His descendant, Kunitsugu Takeda, relocated to the Aizu district, in Fukushima and the art was passed down through the Aizu Takeda family as "Aizu Han O-Tome Waza." It was also developed into an art instucted to high ranking persons for use as secret techniques for indoor use known as "O-Shiki Uchi"

In 1898, Sokaku Takeda received permission to teach the art openly from the chief steward of the clan, Tanomo Saigo (1830 - 1905) with the words: "the time of the sword is over."

From this point onward, Sokaku, who had until then practiced the sword arts, began to perfect the arts of jujutsu (unarmed combat). Sokaku is considered the Chuko no So ("the founder of a renaissance ") of the art. Sokaku then embarked on a "musha shugyo" - a warrior's pilgrimage, in which a practitioner of bujutsu travels from place to place to hone and perfect their skills through contests and the hardships of travel. This pilgrimage was to last the rest of his life.

In 1909, Sokaku went to Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan with Zaibu Sanehide, who was the chief of the Hokkaido police.

In Hokkaido, Sokaku stayed at the inn of Taiso Horikawa (the father of Kodo Horikawa), in Yubetsu. From this base, he traveled to many places to teach Daito-Ryu.

His students included: Taiso Horikawa, Kodo Horikawa, Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) Yukiyoshi Sagawa, Toshimi Matsuda, Takuma Hisa and Ryuho Okuyama (founder of Hakko-Ryu Jujutsu).

Takeda had many students, but the one who spent the longest time with him, and who learned the most techniques, was Kodo Horikawa.

Sokaku's son, Soke Tokimune Takeda, was based in Abashiri, Hokkaido until his passing in 1993.

Hiroo Iida was a direct student of Kodo Horikawa and his successor, Inoue Kosuke, for a total of thirty years and received the rank of Shihan (master instructor) in the Ryu. In 2001, he set up a new Ryu-Ha, the Muden Juku.
