Welcome to Inyoshin School of Martial Arts and Tai Chi Chuan. Offering classes in Stourbridge in the West Midlands, Inyoshin provides classes in tai Chi Chuan and Meifu Shinkage Ryu. Our philosphy is...

Inyoshin TaiChi emphasises relaxation as a key tool to developing and maintaining both physical and mental skills. Students are taught to “go at their own pace” TaiChi is as varied as the number of people wishing to learn. Each student is empowered to take responsibility for their own progress.

Inyoshin Teachers all teach the same basic consistent form; this is then used as the foundation for individuals to further develop during personal training. David would describe it thus, “Like great tenors singing the same aria, it’s the same song but one can easily differentiate between them as they make the song their own” Understanding the basic’s is in fact liberating!

The Meifu Shinkage Ryu(MSR) is a modern school of Shuriken Jutsu. It was founded by Dr. Chikatoshi Someya Sensei (Someya Chikatoshi) in the 1970s. Someya Sensei was a student of Yoshio Sugino Sensei of the Katori Shintō Ryu, although the throwing style used in Meifu Shinkage Ryu is different. Someya Sensei refined the Katori style of throwing, making it shorter, faster and more concealed.
