A Brief Description of Toyama Ryu
Originally a small sub-system of sword drawing techniques created for officers
of the Japanese Imperial Army, Toyama ryu is now represented in various forms
throughout the world as an independent sword art.
Originally created and standardized (seitei) in 1925 in response to concerns that
officers would not be able to effectively draw and employ their sword (gunto)
should the need arise while operating in hostile environments. After WWII, the
Japanese Imperial Army was disbanded, and three major lines of Toyama ryu
were adapted and taught independently. Morinaga style, Yamaguchi style, and
Nakamura style.
Nakamura Taizaburo Sensei was one of Obata Sensei's main sword instructors.
In view of Obata Sensei's skill and dedication, the art of Toyama ryu was
charged to him upon his relocation to America as the Chief Instructor in America.
