The Hokushin Ittô-ryû Hyôhô (北辰 一刀 流 兵法), literally, "The North Star One-Sword School of Military Strategy", is a so-called Sôgo-Bujutsu Ryûha (complete school of martial arts), which was handed down continuesly from one generation to the next untill today.

It is known for the strength of it's techniques, it's scientific approach to sword fighting, and it's easy-to-understand teaching methodology. In addition, it is an art that contains a deep and rich philosophy and can be practiced as a life path to enlightenment.

Real Japanese koryû are still a rarity in Austria. Our club is therefore one of the few places in the Alpine Republic, where a Japanese Koryū - the famous Hokushin Ittô-Ryû Hyôhô is taught, but also a place where you can experience it properly!

Hagunkai is an official Dôkôkai of the Hokushin Ittô-ryû Hyôhô. Literally the name means "The group of Hagun". Hagun is the old Japanese name for the last star in the Big Dipper and has a deep connection to the philosophy and teachings of our school.
