New Release: The Lost Samurai School
Categories: Martial Arts New Release
Secrets of the Mubyoshi Ryu
Antony Cummins’s The Lost Samurai School is the first exposure for western readers to the teachings of Mubiyoshi Ryu. Cummins contextualizes the many expertly translated documents with a history of the era, the school, and its grandmaster, Hagiwara Juzo.
Mubiyoshi Ryu literally translates to “school with no rhythm.” Such a fighting style has an advantage: enemies that cannot anticipate or discern your tactics are easier to outwit. These teachings also allowed these samurai to train in the arts of ninjutsu; subterfuge and espionage, the skills sometimes being magical in nature.
