The founder of Fusen Ryu, Motsu Gai Fusen was born on March 3rd of 1794. When he was 6, his parents sent him to Ryu Tai Ji (竜泰寺）where he lived until he was 12. When he turned 12 he left the temple and began his martial arts training under the tai jutsu instructor of the Gei Shu Han, master Takahashiihyoei Mitsumasa. He achieved Menkyou kaiden of Nanba Ippo Ryu. From age 19 to 30, he traveled throughout Japan studying Buddhism sword and pen. At 31 he became the head priest of the Saihouji Temple (済法寺).

Aside from Namba Ippo Ryu, Motsu Gai also studied and combined You Shin Ryu, Shibukawa Ryu, Kito Ryu, Takeno Uchi Ryu, Yagyu Ryu and Sekiguchi Ryu to form Fusen Ryu.

A stage in History:
Motsu Gai was walking in Kyoto one day and come across the office of the famous Shin Sen Gumi. Because he stopped to watch their training, the chief of the Shin Sen Gumi, Kondo Isami, got angry and attacked Motsu Gai with a spear. It was witnessed that Motsu Gai quickly and easily defeated this famous Samurai.
