The Truth of the Calm Spirit
Since the death of my kenjutsu teacher, I spent time collating my notes and essays on Kashima-shinden Jiki Shinkage-ryū into a single, larger, volume. In doing so, I began looking at historical documents and Japanese language publications I had on hand but not previously examined in great detail. I tried to put into context what I knew of Shinkage-ryū from the perspective of my continued internal martial arts, yoga and Buddhist practices.
The result is a small book:
- M. Raugas, The Truth of the Calm Spirit: Taoist Internal Alchemy in Shinkage-ryū, 2025.
