Discover The Toryu Transmission – Bujinkan Podcast: Audio adaptations that bring the authentic Bujinkan Budō Taijutsu insights from the Tōryū blog to life through AI-generated voices. The blog posts themselves speak, narrated from their deep, tradition-rooted reflections.
A project by Mats Hjelm (Tōryū), the episodes explore Ninjutsu, Japanese martial arts history, ninja tactics, historical denshō transmissions, yearly training themes, philosophical concepts, and personal dojo experiences.
Presented in a respectful, approachable style—like intimate dōjō conversations or quiet oral transmissions—the podcast makes complex Bujinkan knowledge accessible for listening on the go: during commutes, warm-ups, training sessions, or moments of reflection.
Perfect for Bujinkan practitioners seeking deeper context, ninjutsu enthusiasts, and those drawn to genuine budō philosophy and samurai heritage.
New episodes release as fresh blog content becomes available, transforming written transmissions into spoken ones with the help of AI narration.
