Ikkaku ryu juttejutsu

Hiroi Tsunenji (left) and Yoneno Kotaro (right with sword) of Shinto Muso-ryu demonstrating the sub-art Ikkaku-ryu juttejutsu. Uken kata of the Omote-series.

Shinto Muso-ryu was founded roughly 400 years ago by Muso Gonnosuke. History states that Gonnosuke was defeated in a duel with Miyamoto Musashi. After his defeat he had an insight and created techniques for use with the quarterstaff (128 cm. staff called Jo). Legend states he returned and defeated Musashi in a rematch.

Besides the main Jodo-techniques there are also five "sub-arts" within the Shinto Muso-ryu system. Ikkaku-ryu, Ittatsu-ryu, Shinto-ryu, Isshin-ryu (kusarigama) and Uchida-ryu.

This clip is from the "Nihon Kobudo" series, "Isshin Ryu Kusarigamajutsu & Jutte" episode. It is available for purchase from various online retailers. (google it)

@0scottzack

Well I'm sure you are 100% convinced of that, seeming as you were probably present 400 years ago, but allow me and the rest of the normal world to have a healthy dose of skepticism? Kthxbai!

this is real budo

@Manvalmo Stop talking non sense and falsehood. Shinto muso ryu is koryu and budo. To make it simple, when you see sparring, they are doing bujutsu. When you see kata, they are doing budo. Koryu apply to old ryu that predate the Meiji restoration(1866 to 1869). It is not a indication of the intent of the practitioner.

@0scottzack true he actually fought to a draw with the Jo for a fist time. Watch warrior samurai showdown part 4

[Manvalmo]

No, this isn´t budo. It´s a koryu style if I´m not mistaken.
