What is SAMURAI Acupuncture?

SAMURAI acupuncture is different from the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It does not use ideas of Chinese old philosophy such as Ying-Yang and 5 Elements. Instead, it has inherited a lot from Japanese martial arts.

Martial arts are always practical because otherwise people couldn’t survive. Japanese ancient warriors (Samurai) have discovered a lot of rules for body movement and developed a unique original therapy. Some of them are remaining in Judo as a first aid care when players got injured in a game. However, most of the techniques have been lost because those were handed down orally from father to one son as a secret art.

Since the acupuncture is medical practice, we can’t treat patients with a conceptual philosophy. In this point of view, we realized that there is a limit in Chinese traditional acupuncture, and tried to research Japanese hidden art of therapy.

We dug up this hidden art, integrated into acupuncture and revived it in the modern world. By structuring a theory which put emphasis on “movement”, we succeeded to make acupuncture’s efficacy immediate, and potentiality enlarged. And here, we established a new “SAMURAI Acupuncture”.

SAMURAI Acupuncture is derived from Japanese ancient martial arts. It can be said traditional, however it still is on the way of evolution, expanding future of acupuncture.
