The Kukishinden is a vast school which we have inherited from Ishitani down to Takmatsu then on to the current generation
As can be seen above, there are 5 scrolls for the Unarmed system, making it the one of the most extensive, not just in Ninpo, but in any Budo school
There are extensive scrolls for each weapon
For STMA we use the first scroll for each of the main weapons Sword, Hanbo, Jo and Bo - this was set up to match the first 4 scrolls before we started sourcing the 5th
If we do a "5th weapon scroll" it would be made up of a technique or two for each of the other weapons, spear, halberd, bisento, jutte, tessen, to give an understanding of that weapon's specifics
There are no current plans to do the rest of the "higher" scrolls for the weapons, though it may be something we look at in the future years
