Beyond his lifelong training in the world of martial arts, he restarted his Buddhist training at the age of 8 after being shocked into a past life memory at the age of five. He has many years of experience and training in Zen and mindfulness meditation as well as Tibetan sutra and Vajrayana (Anutara Yoga/Tumo etc.) and is an ordained Ngakpa Yogi.
In addition to the above he also has training in Shingon Japanese Buddhism and Shugendo.
Where most "normal" people spend their lives going to school and then developing a career, Tenzen Sensei has spent his life penetrating authentic martial and spiritual lineages to their depths and seeking adventure.
