TSIR Receives Blessing from ISF
The TSIR dojo has received a special blessing from the International Shinto Foundation with the installation of a beautiful kamidana. This tradition dates back to the most ancient aspects of Japanese culture and the martial arts. Historically the founder of the oldest styles and schools learned their arts from people who trained in either shrines or temples of Japan, or they received enlightment through their studies. In modern times, this is a meaningful way Japanese maintain a daily respect for the teachings and understanding from those who came before.
Our thanks to the ISF for this blessing.
