Description
The Kitō Ryu [起倒流] is a system of jujutsu that merits a particular place in
the doctrine of unarmed martial arts because of its esoteric elements, adopted
along with various techniques and training methods (such as randori) in Judo. Of
particular interest are the kata that have been preserved by the modern
inheritors of kito ryu. Kito ryu is the "rise and fall" school of
jujutsu. Some of the available records trace the origin of this school to a
Chinese combat based upon the principle of ju (suppleness), as explained and
illustrated by Chin Gempin to selected warriors of 17th century Japan. Another
version associates this method with two other noted jujutsu experts, Yoshimura
and Takenaka.
