Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu - The 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 Amatsu Tatara Rinpo Hiden Ryu. Oriemon added to his master's teachings some techniques of Jujutsu from Takenouchi Ryu and he thereby created a perfect combat system. Along with Jujutsu, this school also uses Daken Taijutsu (punching techniques), which are applied without any strength. Techniques are fast and directed to 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).
