Shinden-Fudo-ryū (Immovable Heart School) was a school of Japanese martial arts.
Founded in around 1130CE by Ganpachiro Temeyoshi, Shinden-Fudo is one of the oldest styles of ninjitsu. It focuses on working with one’s natural surroundings, and as such most training takes place outside using natural objects as training aids. As an extension of this principle, the school has no formal stances (kamae); all techniques start from a natural standing posture. The curriculum is entirely unarmed; there are no weapons used in this system.
The school is of Chinese origin, based on techniques brought to Japan by Buddhist refugees. It was one of the styles studied by Edward William Barton-Wright, the founder of Bartitsu, and one of the first Westerners to practice Japanese martial arts.
