The specific classes listed above for the TCJ workshops was taught to me by Noguchi sensei while in Japan on my last trip, and will focus on kihon waza, or basic techniques. The theme for these classes are based from the material found in the first two books of the Tenchijin Ryaku no Maki, or Scrolls of Heaven, Earth & Man. For those that don't know, the Tenchijin is the instructors manual created by Hatsumi Soke in the 1970s. This book is made of three distinct sections, concentrating on:

 Ten Ryaku no Maki (Scroll of Heaven): Rolling, breakfalling, leaping, sanshin no kata, kihon happo no kata, kamae, muto dori and the use of various fists as adaptive weapons.

Chi Ryaku no Maki (Scroll of Earth): Hand and body escapes, hand locking and restraints, kneeling techniques, locking techniques, throwing techniques, strangling techniques

 

Jin Ryaku no Maki (Scroll of Man): various kata taken from the nine schools taught in the Bujinkan.

 

Note: The TenChiJin Ryaku no maki was taught to me by Noguchi sensei while in Japan this past March. There are many books (TCJ) out there as there are many Bujinkan instructors.  At the beginning of the year, Hatsumi Sensei said we  as a whole need to work on "taijutsu" & "Ken" more. As I understand,the Ten Chi Jin Ryaku no Maki is the beginning, starting point or jumping off place of new and exciting discoveries. Also I believe to move as good as Hatsumi sensei and the Japanese shihan, one must do what they did for many years to become masters of budo taijutsu. Where do I start? The question to myself!
