Ishizuka Tetsuji Sensei Passed Away

It is with deep sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Ishizuka Tetsuji Sensei, Soke of the Bujinkan's Gyokko Ryu. Awarded this prestigious title in 2019, Ishizuka Sensei was a pivotal figure within the Bujinkan community. Born in 1948 and passing away in March 2025, his legacy is profound.

As one of the earliest students of Hatsumi Soke, beginning his budo training in the spring of 1964, his dedication and expertise spanned decades, influencing countless practitioners.

Our heartfelt condolences and deepest respect go out to his family, loved ones, and students during this difficult time.
