The history of the Ninjas is full of outstanding achievements and also myths. Sometimes, it is created by people's imagination based on something they saw or knew. Most of the time, this happens due to the ability of the Ninja to create an illusion of their doing, like walking on water where those seeing from a considerable distance would notice this fantastic device on the Ninja's feet called Mizugumo.

Shinobi Shozoku is the famous Ninja attire. Although every media related to Ninja represents it as black clothes, it was the less common colour that will dress during night missions. The black colour is usually darker than the dark; someone hidden in a dark dress in black becomes a blurred shadow in the dark. To work with camouflage, a Ninja might dress in clothes the can blend in the environment and then become invisible.

At Nishiden Ninpo Kyokai, we practice a unique art called Ninjutsu, and the practice comes with numerous benefits.
Since it's a martial art, the Ninjutsu from Nishiden Ninpo Kyokai is also a recreational sport, with various exercises helping the students develop mental and physical health, mobility, focus, self-awareness and more. Combining the exercise routines with the philosophy of the Nimpo, the students also develop respect for themselves and for others, humbleness and more confidence, and so, the students learn to work in sync with their body, mind and heart and become a better version of themselves each day, inside and outside the tatami.

Sharing this TBT, which is the best moment for our Dojo so far. For me, Sensei Amadeu, it was a great honour to represent Nishiden Ninpo Kyo Kai and show a little bit about our school at the Japan Festival Canada, the largest Japanese Cultural Event in North America.
I want to thank a lot my Sensei and dear friend Humberto Trevellin for accepting me and guiding me through the wonderful art.

Monshō is a Japanese word that means coat of arms, and it is the emblem used to decorate and identify an individual, a family, or (more recently) an institution or business entity. Monshō for a Dojo is more connected with representing their tradition, history and how the art is transmitted to the students.
When Sensei Humberto Trevellin designed the Nishiden Ninpo Kyokai's monshō, he aimed to highlight Sensei Nishi's teachings in one single symbol, including the four base schools, the spirit, essence and all the other requirements of a Ninshiden's black belt.

Sensei Isao Nishi is heir to a Japanese family from the province of Wakayama Ken, located at the city hall of Kumacho, the old region of Kinki on the island of Honshu, Japan.
He was born on March 11th, 1964 and learned from a very young the ancient Japanese combat techniques with his grandfather, Sensei Sadahei Tsushima.
He was over the heavy training method from Sensei Sadahei Tsushima and his father, Yoshiyuki Nishi, that the young Isao Nishi forged his body and spirit in the ancient Japanese martial arts.
Sensei Nishi passed away on November 17th, 2009, in Argentina. Still, his legacy and his grandfather Sensei Sadahei Tsushima as well keep alive through Nishi Kai and Kokusai Ninpo Budo Taijutsu, both traditional organizations founded by Sensei Isao Nishi to transmit the knowledge from the martial art taught by his grandfather.
Nishiden Ninpo Kyokai was founded by Sensei Humberto Trevellin and supported by Nishi Kai and Kokusai Ninpo Budo Taijutsu. After Sensei Nishi's death, his Uchidenshi, Hanshi Mario Herreira - Menkyo Kaiden and Hanshi Mario Bustamante - Menkyo Kaiden, respond to these two organizations. Sensei Humberto also has tremendous support from Sensei Rolando Walter Milohanovich, former disciple and friend of Nishi Sama and founder of the Ninjutsu school Rowami Ryu Ninjutsu in Argentina.

Sadahei Tsushima was born on July 30th, 1899, in Iwakuni, now called Yamagushi, in the old Suo province over the dominium of clan Ouchi. Later he migrated to the old province of Kii, now known as Wakayama-ken, where Natori Masamune, Saika Suzuki Hideshige Magoichi and Izumo Kanja Yush*teru lived.
At the lands of Kumano temple, Sadahei Tsushima started your training in Shinden Fudo Ryu and also in the ancient Shinobi techniques of Natori Ryu by Natori Masamuni, author of the document Ninja Shoninki.
There is no certainty who was Sensei Sadahei Tsushima's master. However, we can confirm that his father and grandfather trained him in the traditions of Natori Ryu (Shoninki) and Tsushima Ryu (the family style).
And that is why we use Tsushima-ha when we transmit the knowledge of Shiden Fudo Ryu because our lineage begins with Sensei Sadahei Tsushima and passes through Sensei Isao Tsushima Nishi, who includes it in Nishi Kai.
Sadahei Tsushima served as a rescuer in the earthquake incident in Kanto in 1923, where he met with a Red Cross member from Argentina, who told about his country to Sadahei Tsushima, and the same country became the place where Sensei Sadahei lived for many years later on.
Years passed, and Sensei Tsushima watched with his eyes all the horrors that World War II brought to Japan. Due to these unfortunate events, he moved with his family to Mar Del Plata in Argentina after the war. Soke Sadahei Tsushima retired on a well-deserved spiritual rest, putting aside his martial practice a little, returning to his practice only when his grandson Isao Nishi was born, who began training at the age of 4 under the tutelage of his grandfather.
Sensei Tsushima passed away in 1976 in Mar Del Plata - Argentina, but his legacy remains through the teaching of Sensei Isao Nishi.
