Koto Ryu Koppojutsu





Koto Ryu (Tiger knocking down School)

"to knock the Tiger down with the tips of the fingers"

Koppo Jutsu

Very much like kyukushin karate this method involved linear strikes to break bones

First Rule - hit fucking hard

This ryu adopts training methods seen in Okinawa and later in Japan in kyukushin - wood breaking to perfect the bone breaking methods - striking sand and gravel, then later stone to condition the hands and other striking tools

The 10th Soke of Gyokko Ryu founded the Koto Ryu

This ryu also teaches sword, and uses the four point shaken shuriken
