Oshikiuchi
is a term referring to some sort of techniques for use in formal circumstances. The term itself translates literally to something like "honorable manner for indoors". Scholars dispute whether oshikiuchi is literally a set of manners or etiquette for use on formal occasions, or a set of martial arts techniques specialized for use in formal situations where the wearing of weapons is restricted, such as the palace of one's lord. Takeda Sōkaku, the modern founder of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, claimed that it was a secret martial art passed down through members of his family in the Aizu domain, and that he combined in some way with his family's martial arts, which he eventually taught publicly as Daitō-ryū. Such a claim is supported by his descendants, but unverified.

Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu
, originally called , is a Japanese martial art that first became widely known in the early 20th century under the headmastership of Takeda Sōkaku. Takeda had extensive training in several martial arts (including Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū and Sumo) and referred to the style he taught as "Daitō-ryū" (literally, "Great Eastern School"). Although the school's traditions claim to extend back centuries in Japanese history there are no known extant records regarding the ''ryū'' before Takeda. Whether Takeda is regarded as either the restorer or the founder of the art, the known history of Daitō-ryū begins with him. Takeda's best-known student was Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. History Daitō-ryū (also known as simply Aiki-jūjutsu) is mostly considered to be a fighting style created by the Seiwa Minamoto clan, and handed down from generation to generation. It was Shinra Saburo Minamoto Yoshimitsu the one who compiled all its teachings around the 11th century. Shin ...
