History

Koto-ryu is based on techniques brought from China by way of Korea by one Chan Busho in the 16th century. The system was codified in 1542 by Sakagami Taro Kunishige, who was also then-Sōke of Gyokko-ryu, which is considered the sister style Koto-ryu.

Techniques

The "densho" (scrolls) are arranged in a particular order, and each "waza" (technique), "kata" (forms), etc. are supposed to be learned in the same order, mastering one before going on to the next.

Koto-ryu stresses close-range fighting, including powerful strikes designed to break the enemy's bones (koppojutsu), and also pressure point strikes (kyusho-jitsu). [ [http://www.budotaijutsu.co.uk/budo_taijutsu/koto_ryu_koppojutsu.html Budotaijutsu] ] Also, the sword-fighting (kenjutsu) style of Koto-ryu is a unique one designed to confuse the enemy and convince him that the Koto-ryu swordsman was a mere amateur.
