Gyokko Ryu Koshijutsu - completed for Second Dan Bl ack BeltThe Jewelled (or pearl) Tiger School of "bone finger art"

Gyokko ryu is roughly divided into three sections: unarmed vs unarmed, unarmed vs knife, unarmed vs sword.The basic movements are that of a spinning top. If a lock is placed on a joint, the joint is held still by the body, while the feet move one's body around the joint.Because footwork takes time, nerve strikes are applied before and during the motion.The movement in Gyokko ryu is also around an opponent's fixed point of balance.Muto Waza are unarmed against either sword or spear and are the most advanced and difficult techniques of the Ryu.Other specialties of this school are Koshi jutsu (attack on muscle, pressure point and nerve points), Shito jutsu (use of thumb and other fingers), Ken jutsu(sword), Ko Dachi (short sword), So jutsu or Yari (spear), and Bo jutsu (various sticks).

Note: Waza, Gata and Kata all refer to technique as in a series of moves to deal with a given situatio n, Gata & Waza are performed with a partner, Kata is like a Karate Kata or Tae kwon do form done on ones own

Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu - completed for Thir d Dan Black BeltThe Immovable Heart School of "hard weapon body art"

One of the secret attributes of Shinden Fudo ryu is the "Principle of nature". The ryu originated by Genpachiro Temeyoshi in the mid 12th century. It is tracedback to Kosshijutsu which was introduced by Izumo Kanja Yoshitero. Kuki Takei from the Kuki family of Kukishin ryu was also from the Shinden Fudo ryu.Takenaka Tetsunoke, senior student of Jigoro Kano (the founder of Judo) was at one time a student at the Shinden Fudo ryu Dojo. Kuden says that Yari wastaught to Izumo (the founder) by Tengu (demons) and these techniques still remain a secret today. The school uses several different types of Yari (spear), Ono(war axes), O-tsuchi (war hammers) and Naginata (halberd). Hojojutsu (the art of tying someone with a rope) is used along side the Taijutsu, to help restrainthe opponent. The school is specialized on Jujutsu and Iainuki (fast sword drawing). The Taijutsu of this school bases on Jutai jutsu (levers, controls and throws)and on Daken Taijutsu (punching techniques).

Takagi Yoshin ryu Jutaijutsu - completed for Fourth Dan Black BeltThe High Tree and Awakened Heart School

This school was organized by Takagi Oriemon Shigenobu in the beginning of 1600. He learned this art from a monk named Unryu, who was a master of AmatsuTatara Rinpo Hiden ryu. Oriemon added to his master's teachings some techniques of Jujutsu from Takanchi ryu and he thereby created a ‘perfect’ combatsystem. Along with Jujutsu, this school also uses Dakentai jutsu (punching techniques), which are applied without any strength. Techniques are fast and directedto short combat distance, and they are based on such methods that they do not allow the opponent to escape with rolls. Weapons used in this school are Bo(stick), Yari (spear), Kodachi (short sword), Shuriken (throwing blades), and Tanto (knife).

Koto Ryu Koppojutsu - completed for Fifth Dan Black BeltThe Tiger Knocking Down School of Bone Structure Art

Sakagami Taro Kunishige was considered as the first Soke in Koto Ryu, but Bando Kotaro Minamoto Masahide, the one that was to be the 2nd Soke died inbattle 1542. Instead the Ryu went to Sougyoku Kan Ritsushi who also was the Soke of Gyokko Ryu. There after the Koto Ryu was following the same familyline as Gyokko Ryu. The difference as apposed to Gyokko Ryu was that Koto Ryu was only taught to the person that would become the next Soke. Koppojutsumeans to destroy the bone structure on the attacker. What specializes the Koto Ryu techniques is that distance is created by moving along with the attack, thenmoving forward with a strike and then move quickly out to a safe distance again. This is done to come in with a strike at exactly 90 degrees against the bone

moving forward with a strike and then move quickly out to a safe distance again. This is done to come in with a strike at exactly 90 degrees against the bonestructure of the attacker to do the most damage. To do this demands good timing and rhythm in the defensive attack, often done with Yoko Aruki (moving withthe legs crossing each other). Another important part of the footwork is to hit the attackers toki (the top of the foot), by kicking or stepping on it to control hisbalance. It should also be noted that the starting distance should be really big from the start, the attacker must take one big step or several steps to reach thedefender. This states clearly that Koto Ryu was developed for the battlefield or out doors in general, and not inside a house or narrowed places. The Koto Ryustylist should be looking right between the attackers eyebrows, so that the attacker cannot read the intentions through his eyes. The attacker will also believethat he has eye contact, which will be confusing for him. Other typical methods of Koto Ryu are the use of Metsubushi, different ways of blinding the attacker orattacking the eyes directly. Metsubushi could be powder thrown at the attackers eyes, but also reflections at the eyes from the sword or other metal blades.For example when it rains the Koto Ryu stylist will stand in Mangetsu No Kamae (similar to Hoko No Kamae with the blade in the left hand) and collect water inthe hi (blood groove) of the blade and then throw the water at the enemies eyes before the sword slashes down. Because of the hard character of the KotoRyu techniques it demands hard discipline training to harden the body. Takamatsu Toshitsugu started his training in Koto Ryu when he was nine years old, andwas considered a Koto Ryu master when he was 13 years old. In his self biography he has written that he got hard fingers and toes by hitting stone and graveluntil the blood came through the finger and toenails. Shako Ken (claw hand) is one of the strikes that is used in Koto Ryu. There are story's about TakamatsuSensei in the 1960's when he convinced Koizume Shizuo, a journalist from the Tokyo Sport Newspaper, by literally drilling five holes through the bark of a treewith his Shako Ken finger strike (‘Claw’ hand). Koto Ryu also has an unusual way of using the katana. Koto Ryu is one of the very few Ryu that sometimeschanges the grip of the sword by holding it with the left hand near the tsuka. This gives multiple ways of holding the sword with crossed arms that would totallyconfuse the attacker, and sometimes convince him that the stylist was an amateur and an easy opponent.

Kukishinden Ryu Happo Hikenjutsu - completed for Si xth Dan Black BeltThe Nine Demon School of "eight secret weapons arts"

This school is believed to have roots in China and is also said to be founded in the 12th century. Its founder is Izumo Koshiro Terunobu, who learned from IzumoKanja Yoshiteru, who is written as the first Soke. The word Kuki in the name of the school was obtained after the event, when the master of the school savedthe tsar Go-Daigo, who told him, that he was fighting like Kuki - nine demons. Kukishinden ryu warriors used to wear Yoroi battle armour, therefore strong anddirect attacks in certain unarmed points are used. This school also uses Bo Ryaku (special kind of strategy), Sui Ren and Ka Ren (use of water and fire),Onshin jutsu (disguise) and weapons as Hanbo (90 cm stick), Rokushaku Bo (180 cm stick), Kodachi, Shoto, Katana, Dai katana (swords), Kaginawa (ropewith a hook), Kusari Gama (sickle with chain), Bisento (heavy weapon similar to helbard) and Daisharin (axle with two wheels). It is also written, thatKukishinden warriors used mast tops for fighting. This system was used as a naval art, and consequently the movements are designed to be used on a shipthat is slippery and rocking.
