Everyone !!! A fantastic video by Michael Coleman-shihan

What is the true history behind the Tanemura family line—and why does it still matter today?

Here is the YouTube link:

In this first installment of a three-part series, I explore the historical lineage connected to the family of Grandmaster Shoto Tanemura (Tanemura Tsunehisa), founder of the Genbukan World Ninpo Bugei Federation.

This video examines the historical foundations of a family tradition connected to samurai culture, ninja traditions, and lineages said to extend back through generations of Japanese history—including ties connected to the imperial era of Japan.

But this is not simply a history lesson.

The deeper purpose of this video is to examine how traditional knowledge was preserved through direct transmission from teacher to student across generations.

In old Japan, secret teachings were not understood through books alone. Even if someone possessed the scrolls, without proper guidance from a qualified teacher, the deeper principles often remained hidden.

These traditions were never only about combat.

They were about discipline, perseverance, awareness, structure, character, and understanding how to live correctly during difficult times.

Thank you to everyone who has already watched, liked, and shared the new YouTube video. The support has been excellent, and I truly appreciate it.

I also just learned about YouTube’s new “Hype” feature, which helps push videos out to more people.

If you enjoyed the video, please consider going back and using the “Hype” feature between May 5 and May 12.

Even if you already watched it, hyping the video helps more people discover authentic Japanese martial arts and traditional training.

Thank you again for the support.

This is traditional Japanese karate—centuries old and very different from modern systems. Influenced by early Chinese methods and preserved through classical lineages, this approach focuses on direct application, timing, and structure.


Original Japanese Karate Still Works!
