		Concern for the secrecy of the ryuha's teachings was paramount to all organizations, but of particular worry to the bugei ryuha, since the techniques in which the students were being instructed were potentially lethal.
		Katas are the compendiums of the waza of the ryuha.
		This danger have been particularly acute for those ryuha in which the headship was restricted to a single family, as it was difficult to guarantee that each generation would produce a son equal to his ancestors in talent and diligence.

	History of the Bujinkan Ryuha Mainpage
		Paul has spent the last ten years extensively researching the histories of Bujinkan Ryuha through authorities worldwide.
		Our style is called Budo Taijutsu, and incorporates many kinds of koryu bugei- warrior traditions that originate before the 16th century.
		These ryuha are well-documented and linked historically to some of the most well-respected ryuha in Japan.

	Iai Ryuha
		Tastumi Ryu is one of the oldest of the surviving ryuha, dating back to the mid 1500s.
		One of the most complete of the sogo bujutsu, Tastumi Ryu teaches kenjutsu using odachi, kodachi, nito, iai, jujutsu, spear, bo, shuriken, and other weapons.
		This ryuha was founded in the late 1600s by Imaeda Sachu Ryuodai.

	The Iaido Newsletter: Koryu then and now
		Through careful practice of the kata that make up the ryuha’s teachings and traditions, people believe that numerous generations of students and teachers have maintained the tradition exactly as it was in the Edo or even Sengoku period.
		Ryuha which were founded during the peace of the Edo era most frequently don’t even bother to include any techniques for armored combat.
		A number of ryuha have died in the last 100 years because no one was interested in them.

		After all, they reason, the tradition has been faithfully preserved since the founder was inspired, whether by some divinity, a whack on the head, or a sudden realization of how not to get whacked on the head.
		It’s easy to imagine that as various teachers were exposed to new techniques and weapons, they would incorporate those they viewed as useful, or at least dangerous if their students were not aware of their use.
		Because koryu budo are living entities, they will continue to grow, or fade, with the efforts of the members to adapt their traditions to the ever changing conditions around them.

		Referred to as ryuha, these groups, which are more like professional organizations than unions, have long been identified by the old name for their respective regions.
		Over the years, the number of these toji ryuha have decreased, as have the number of their members, along with the shrinking sake industry.
		Sometimes the toji ryuha is listed on bottles of good sake, as it is indeed a source of pride.

	TIJ: Bokuto Jutsu: Friday (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The thicker body of the shinai or bokuto is easier to see, masks minor imperfections in the angle of the blade when it's swung, and rather dramatically changes the feel of any technique that employs the side of the blade.
		Different ryuha use different sorts of bokuto for reasons relating to historic preferences, most of which stem from specific aspects of the schools' training and fighting methods.
		Arguing the merits of one type of bokuto or another, outside the context of the training practices of the ryuha that uses them, is as pointless and meaningless as arguing whether English is a "better" language than French.

	FPRI Wire: Samurai, Ninjas, and Salary Men: What the Martial Arts Really Tell Us About Japan - FPRI
		Ryuha are corporate groups controlling a particular asset, in the case of the martial and other arts, mastery of specialized cultural forms.
		Ryuha were primarily concerned with the transmission of cultural forms: chanting, dancing, or swordsmanship.
		By the Tokugawa period, however, it was customary in all ryuha to write down the teachings of the school and transmit them formally to the successful students, usually in the form of scrolls.

	The Iaido Newsletter: A Look At Hoki Ryu Iaido
		Couple the name changes and splits with the fact that Hisayasu is also claimed as the founder of a few additional ryuha (not to mention the work of his successors) and one has quite a mess to sort through lineage wise.
		All ryuha had to take this sort of shift in combative circumstance into account or face extinction because it failed to adapt to changing combative conditions.
		This shouldn't be taken as meaning that ryuha didn't influence each other however, ryu were always busy coming up with ways to deal with another rights techniques and something of a technique arms race was always in effect.

	Jujutsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These systems of unarmed combat began to be known as Nihon koryu jūjutsu (Japanese old-style jujutsu), among other related terms, during the Muromachi period (1333-1573), according to densho (transmission scrolls) of the various ryuha (martial traditions) and historical records.
		Various traditional ryu and ryuha that are commonly thought of as koryu jujutsu actually diverged from gendai jūjutsu.
		Although modern in formation, gendai jujutsu systems have direct historical links to ancient traditions and are correctly referred to as traditional martial systems or ryu.

		The toji, or head brewer, is generally associated with one ryuha, or "school" of brewing.
		These toji ryuha are tied closely to various regions throughout Japan, and there are perhaps 25 schools of toji in existence now.
		Each school has its own style, to be sure, and that style is evident in the sake they brew, but the differences between various schools of toji is not what it was long ago.

	A Brief Overview of Ninjutsu
		For a samurai, to die while fighting for his lord was one of the greatest honours, since their code Bushido, “the way of the warrior”, required it of them.
		Other ryuha were founded by peasants and farmers who were considered less than human by the military government.
		Their only chance of survival was to flee to outlying regions and develop skills that would not only help them survive the elements, but the aggression of the samurai as well.

		However, the importance of Ryuha became emphasised a result of developments during the later Tokugawa shogunate (from 1600 onwards).
		Shortly after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 the Ryuha, along with the samurai who practiced them, were banned, and those that survive to day are mostly remnants that were practiced behind closed doors following the ban and dissolution of the Ryuha.
		It is worth noting that most of the head masters of the Ryuha agreed that they were no longer relevant and were therefore willing participants in the break up of their schools.

		From 1945 to 1955, no organizations were established and each Ryuha remained isolated without associating with other styles.
		In time it was decided that there should be one organization that would include all the other Dojo (Ryuha) in order to unify everybody.
		Having two groups of the same Ryuha within the Renmei was one of the reasons, but the other was that they simply wanted to operate independently.

		He offers a detailed look at individual jujtutsu ryuha, giving details on the school's history (where possible including illustrations of their founders and photos of ancient manuscripts).
		The techniques that were developed and passed on through the ages in Japan have also been affected by societal changes and have gradually been altered in keeping with the currents of the time.
		Precisely because of the close association between jujutsu and other traditional martial arts, this book will be of interest to practitioners not only of jujutsu but also of modern arts such as judo and aikido, and older disciplines including iaijutsu and kenjutsu.

		Mol follows that with information on primary jujutsu, ryuha (Takenouchi Ryu, Fukuno Ryu, Yoshin Ryu and many of their derivatives), other lineages and schools (e.g., Bokuden Ryu, Sekiguchi Ryu, Yagyu Shingan Ryu, etc.), and other “combined” lineages (Kiraku Ryu, Shinto Yoshin Ryu, etc.).
		As there are many koryu bugei ryuha with similar names that are written with different characters, the inclusion of the kanji improved the clarity of the text and were a welcomed addition.
		One problem I have with the book is that I would have liked to see more attention given to the koryu systems that have verifiable lineages and systems rather than schools that have unverified and/or problematic lineages.

	Ninjutsu
		Surrounded by much controversy, today's "ninjutsu" is derived from the traditional fighting arts associated with the Iga/Koga region of Japan.
		These arts include both "bujutsu" ryuha (martial technique systems) and "ninjutsu" ryuha, which involve a broad base of training designed to prepare the practitioner for all possible situations.
		The history of ninjutsu is clouded by the very nature of the art itself.

		In clearer terms, the techniques of aikido had led to his being able to be unmovable (external paradigm) rather than his skill of being unmovable leading to his ability to do aikido techniques (internal paradigm).
		Schools often had whole portions of their curriculum that were considered safe for outsiders to see and practice and others that were not for public consumption.
		In the sword ryuha that I belong to, we have a branch in Brazil that has basically been cut off from Japan since the early 20th century.

		I got into ninjutsu to learn to protect myself and was naturally drawn to Ralph shihan as an obviously experienced fighter, but I've noticed that some have the belief the the ryuha should not be approached from a fighting perspective but merely an "art" practice (I like both, myself).
		Over the years that I have practiced I found that each of the ryuha can be effective in a combat situation.

		Although the samurai as a class were abolished in the nineteenth century, their military skills and values continue to be taught at dozens of schools (ryuha) throughout Japan.
		The problem is that study in one of these very traditional ryuha involves deep personal commitment on the part of the student to the school and its teachers.
		Friday is clearly in awe of the current headmaster of the ryuha (Seki Humitake) and his predeccessor (Kunii Zenya), repeating without substantiation (or question) claims of their undefeated records in no holds barred matches with other martial arts practitioners.
