Takagi Yoshin Ryu Jutaijutsu
Takagi Yoshin Ryu (Raise the heart to the high trees school)
JuTaiJutsu
This closely resembles Kempo Jujutsu, very much a grappling school with rapid strikes
The throws and chokes of Judo, and the locks and projections of aikido can be seen here - though in a battlefield form, not a mat form
Power and pressure - techniques are applied fast, close and in succession so the opponent has no chance to retreat or counter, breakfall, roll, or escape
Unlike battlefield arts for soldiers, this was an art developed for bodyguards - it was developed inside a building, not outdoors like most koryu, designed for use in a more confined area
This is almost the opposite of Shinden Fudo Ryu which is outdoors in nature KJJ, TYR is indoors and urban KJJ
As this ryu is not battlefield based it takes it's weapon system from the Bojutsu of Kukkishinden Ryu, and the shorter sticks are used to effect in close quarters
The entire syllabus of this ryu forms the unarmed combat of Kukkishinden Ryu
