   is a japanese martial art, commonly known as the style practiced by several core members of the shinsengumi. ==history== founded by kondÅ kuranosuke nagahiro around 1789, the style was popularized by kondÅ shÅ«suke (1792-1867), the third generation master of the style, who, together with satÅ hikogorÅ, spread its practice throughout the farming population of the tama district. since the first and the second generation masters each adopted a student with superb skills to be the next master, in 1849 the childless kondÅ shÅ«suke decided to adopt a sixteen-year-old student named miyagawa katsugorÅ, the later kondÅ isami. this style, like other koryÅ« arts, teaches kenjutsu, bÅjutsu, and jÅ«jutsu. the style was famous in edo, and was headquartered at the shieikan dojo. in 1861, kondÅ isami became the 4th sÅke of the style, spread its fame during his time as commander of the shinsengumi. noted practitioners were hijikata toshizo, inoue genzaburÅ, and the famous prodigy okita sÅji (who mastered all the techniques of the school and attained menkyo kaiden status at eighteen or so.) several men already certified in other styles cross-trained in tennen rishin-ryÅ«, such as yamanami keisuke, who was enrolled in 1860 and others like nagakura shinpachi and harada sanosuke stayed at the shieikan without becoming practitioners of tennen rishin-ryÅ«. even though quite a few techniques were lost, especially in the beginning of the meiji era, tennen rishin-ryÅ« is still practiced today, among other koryÅ«. ==list of tennen rishin-ryÅ« techniques== *satsuki-ryÅ-ken *hiryÅ«-ken *hira-seigan *sasoku-ken *in-yÅ«-ken *kobi-ken *denkÅ-ken *katana-nukizama-no-koto *syarin-ken *Åtai-ken *getsuei-ken *seigan-ken *geppa-ken *unkÅ-ken *kokÅ-ken *sÅsha *sekka-ken *ryÅ«bi-ken *kakari-ken *ensha-ken *ranken-ken *shishiÅ-ken *ukitori ==external links== *www.tennenrishinryu.com - tennen rishin ryu official japanese site *[http://www.tennenrishinryu.it www.tennenr
