Our Kancho 館長, レイ天前 Ray Tenzen (Before Heaven), has been training in martial arts since 1972, dedicating over 53 years to mastering the craft and seeking out the top martial arts masters around the globe. He has earned black belt and instructor level grading in various disciplines, including Japanese martial arts, and has achieved notable ranks such as Judan (10th degree black belt) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu/Ninpo Taijutsu. His expertise extends to authentic Japanese warrior lineages, earning him recognition in traditions like Shisenkan Kobudo (Yondan, 4th degree black belt), Daito Ryu Jujutsu (Nidan, 2nd degree black belt), and Genbukan Ninpo Bugei (Shodan, 1st degree black belt). Additionally, he holds Menkyo in several martial arts, including Gyokko Ryū Kosshi jutsu and Kotō Ryū Koppō jutsu, each at the Shoden level. Beyond his martial arts accomplishments, Tenzen Sensei has also trained as an instructor in disciplines like Jun Fan/Jeet Kune Do and Kali/Eskrima, showcasing his versatility as an educator in the Ninpo Bugei Federation. His journey into martial arts began alongside a deep commitment to spiritual practice; he resumed his Buddhist training at age 8 after experiencing a profound past life memory at age five. With extensive experience in Zen and mindfulness meditation, as well as Tibetan sutra and Vajrayana practices, he is an ordained Ngakpa Yogi. His training also includes Shingon Japanese Buddhism and Shugendo. While most individuals pursue conventional education and careers, Tenzen Sensei has devoted his life to exploring and penetrating the depths of authentic martial and spiritual lineages, always seeking new adventures.
