Who We Are
The Sentou-ryu Sogo Budo Rengokai (戦闘流 総合武道連合会) is the official international federation and governing body of the Sentou-ryu (戦闘流) martial arts system. Our mission is to preserve, promote, and transmit the teachings of modern integrated budo (現代総合武道) grounded in traditional Japanese warrior principles.
Founded by the 開祖 (Kaiso), the Sentou-ryu system was born from decades of experience in multiple classical and modern disciplines. It is a response to the need for a comprehensive approach to both self-defense and personal development in a rapidly changing world.
From local dojos to global affiliations, our organization is built on the values of honor, discipline, respect, and lifelong learning.
Our Philosophy
At Sentou-ryu, we embrace the warrior code of 武士道 (Bushido) – the Way of the Warrior as more than a historical code; it is a living discipline that inspires our training, leadership, and daily conduct.
We believe:
Martial arts should produce peace, not violence.
Mastery requires humility, discipline, and lifelong commitment.
True budo transforms not only the body, but the heart and mind.
Community, loyalty, and mutual respect are as vital as skill.
Whether practicing hand-to-hand techniques, drawing the sword, or meditating in silence, Sentou-ryu is a path to inner strength and outward compassion.
Connect with Us
We invite all who seek authentic budo to walk this path with us. Whether you are new to martial arts or a seasoned practitioner, the doors of Sentou-ryu are open to those with sincere hearts and strong spirits.

道を学び、心を鍛え、強さと平和を一つに。

Our Lineage & Arts
戦闘流 (Sentou-ryu) means “Combat Flow” or “Battle Style.” It is a fully integrated martial system composed of five core disciplines:
戦闘流 合気柔術 (Sentou-ryu Aikijujutsu): Harmonizing energy and structure to control or subdue an opponent through joint locks, throws, and blending tactics.
戦闘流 護身術 (Sentou-ryu Goshinjutsu): Practical self-defense for real-world situations using strikes, escapes, control tactics, and scenario-based drills.
戦闘流 空手道 (Sentou-ryu Karate-dō): A refined and powerful system of strikes, blocks, kata, and kumite developed with a focus on realism and spirit.
戦闘流 剣術 (Sentou-ryu Kenjutsu): Traditional Japanese swordsmanship, emphasizing footwork, timing, and the philosophy of the sword.
神霊館 霊気 (Shinreikan Reiki): Spiritual energy work and internal cultivation for healing, balance, and holistic development.
Together, these five branches form a cohesive Sogo Budo (総合武道) — a “total martial way” that nurtures the mind (心 – shin), technique (技 – gi), and body (体 – tai).
