The Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu is the Kenjutsu school created by the famous samurai Miyamoto Musashi (1584 - 1645).

Musashi Sensei, as called by the school students, won more than 60 life and death duels, in the search for invencibility. The techniques and strategies used in these duels are still preserved today through the practice of the Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu. They are most famous for its techniques using two swords simultaneously (Nito), capable of winning the most formidable opponents that Musashi Sensei fought.

The name of the school - that also gives name to our Institute Niten - means "School of Two Heavens as One". It is a reference to the two swords techniques.
Musashi Sensei was also an important paintor and sculptor in its time. Even today in his art pieces you can see signs of his genious mind and ability with the sword. "Niten" was also the name which he signed his works of art.

TECHNIQUES The Niten Ichi Ryu is famous for its two swords techniques.
