Kitō-ryū
is a traditional school ('' koryū'') of the Japanese martial art of jujutsu. Its syllabus comprises ''atemi-waza'' (striking techniques), ''nage-waza'' (throwing techniques), ''kansetsu-waza'' (joint locking techniques) and ''shime-waza'' (choking techniques). The style is focused on throws and sweeps, and many of these techniques are designed to be performed while in full armor. Origin Kitō Ryū is translated as "the school of the rise and fall." It is similar to forms of " Aikijutsu," including the principle of " ki" (energy) and aiki (Kitō Ryū teaches that "When two minds are united, the stronger controls the weaker"...). Equally, it uses principles such as " kuzushi no ri" or "breaking of balance" now associated with modern judo. Base art of Judo Jigoro Kano trained in Kitō-ryū and derived some of the principles that were to form the basis of modern judo from this style. Judo's Koshiki-no-kata is based on Kitō-ryū. Since Kano Jigoro got the Kitō-ryū de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tamiya-ryū (Tsumaki)
Iaijutsu is a Japanese koryū martial art founded by Tamiya Heibei Narimasa in the late 16th century. Lineages Three main lineages are usually recognized as being from Tamiya-ryū: Ko Tamiya-ryū, Kishū Tamiya-ryū and Shin Tamiya-ryū. However, while traditionally accepted as accurate, such classification may be subject to some level of criticism, since Shin Tamiya-ryū is a style on its own, founded by Wada Heisuke and both Ko Tamiya-ryū and Kishū Tamiya-ryū refer to the lineage transmitted in the Kishū domain (now Wakayama Prefecture). Ko Tamiya-ryū (古田宮流) * Founder: Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu 林崎甚助重信 * 1st generation: Tamiya Heibe Narimasa (Shigemasa) 田宮平兵衛業正 * 2nd generation: Tamiya Tsushima-no-kami Nagakatsu 田宮対馬守長勝 * 3rd generation: Tamiya Hyōenojō Nagaie 田宮兵衛尉長家 * 4th generation: Tamiya Sannosuke Tomonari 田宮三之助朝成 * 5th generation: Tamiya Jirōemon Narimichi 田宮次郎右衛門� ...

Tamiya-ryū (Kuroda)
is a martial art founded by Kamiizumi Magojirō Yoshitane (上泉孫次郎義胤), who later took his mother's name and became known as Tamiya Gon'emon Muneshige (民弥権右衛門宗重). The art is now part of the Kuroda family '' bujutsu''. Particularities Unlike most iaijutsu and iaidō schools, which place the sword at the hips between the ''kaku obi'' and the gi or between the folds of the obi, practitioners of Tamiya-ryū place the sword under a ''heko obi'' (traditionally used to secure a child on one's back) that is worn over the hakama. The sageo is not attached to the ''hakama himo'' or let loose, as in many other schools, but is tied in a knot at the kurigata, thus preventing the sword from falling out of the ''heko obi'' and permitting greater freedom of movement. Using a second ''obi'' over the hakama instead of the ''kaku obi'' that is already used under the hakama to secure the gi serves only one purpose but one of great importance: since the ''heko obi'' is s ...

Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū
is a Japanese sword art school and one of the most widely practiced schools of iai in the world. Often referred to simply as "Eishin-ryū," it claims an unbroken lineage dating back from the sixteenth century to the early 20th century. 17th undisputed headmaster, Oe Masaji, awarded at least 16 licenses of full transmission, Yamakoshi 2004 resulting in the school fracturing into multiple legitimate branches. The school takes its name from its seventh headmaster, Hasegawa Chikaranosuke Hidenobu (長谷川主税助英信), who had founded Hasegawa Eishin-ryū. Iwata 2002: 96 ‘Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū’ means ‘peerless, directly transmitted school of Eishin.’ ‘Eishin’ is an alternative pronunciation of ‘Hidenobu.’ History The founder of the earlier school Eishin-ryū was Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu (林崎甚助源の重信). Hayashizaki was born in Dewa Province, Ōshū (present-day Yamagata Prefecture). Kishimoto 2006: 14 He lived c. 1546–1621 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Musō Shinden-ryū
is a style of sword-drawing art (''iaido'') founded by Nakayama Hakudō (中山博道) in 1932. Nakayama Hakudō studied under Hosokawa Yoshimasa, a master of the ''Shimomura'' branch (下村派) of Hasegawa Eishin-ryū, and Morimoto Tokumi, a fellow student of Ōe Masaji of the ''Tanimura'' branch (谷村派). The name Musō Shinden-ryū most likely comes from the name given to the ''Shimomura'' branch by Hosokawa, Musō Shinden Eishin-ryū (無雙神傳英信流). Particularities The ''kata'' from Musō Shinden-ryū have a number of differences from the ''kata'' of its sister art, Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū. Among the most visible are the manner in which the ''furikaburi'' (raising the sword overhead, sometimes called ''furikamuri'') and the ''nōtō'' (sheathing) are done. Both arts also differ from many other ''iaijutsu'' schools in that the ''kiai'' is performed silently, without ''hassei'' (shouting). Furikaburi After striking with one hand, primarily on ''nukitsuke'' (cutt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yōshin-ryū (Yōshin Koryū)
("The School of the Willow Heart") is a common name for one of several different martial traditions founded in Japan during the Edo period. The most popular and well-known was the Yōshin-ryū founded by physician Akiyama Shirōbei Yoshitoki at Nagasaki Kyushu in 1642. The Akiyama line of Yōshin-ryū is perhaps the most influential school of jūjutsu to have existed in Japan. By the late Edo Period, Akiyama Yōshin-ryū had spread from its primary base in Fukuoka Prefecture Kyushu throughout Japan. By the Meiji era, Yōshin-ryū had spread overseas to Europe and North America, and to Australia and South Africa by the late Shōwa era. Together with the Takenouchi-ryū (竹内流), and the Ryōi Shintō-ryū (良移心当流), the Yōshin-ryū (楊心流), was one of the three largest, most important and influential jūjutsu schools of the Edo period (江戸時代 Edo jidai 1603 - 1868) before the rise of judo.

Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū
, meaning "Divine True Willow School", can be classified as a traditional school ('' koryū'') of jujutsu. It was founded by in the 1830s. Its syllabus comprises ''atemi-waza'' (striking techniques), ''nage-waza'' (throwing techniques), ''torae-waza'' (immobilization methods) and ''shime-waza'' (choking techniques). Once a very popular jujutsu system in Japan, among the famous students who studied the art were Kanō Jigorō, whose modern art of judo was greatly inspired by the Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū and Kitō-ryū. Description Essentially, Tenjin Shinyo-ryu is the amalgamation of two separate systems of jujutsu: the Yōshin-ryū and Shin no Shinto-ryu. The distinctive feature of this particular school is the use of ''atemi'' or strikes to disrupt the balance of the opponent as well as a more flexible and flowing movement of the body than seen in some older schools of jujutsu. The older schools employ somewhat larger and slower movements to mimic the use of armour in the battl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
