-- PRESENTATION: DAITŌ RYŪ AIKI-JŪJUTSU --
Daitō Ryū Aiki-jujutsu was founded by Shinra Saburo Yoshimitsu (also known as Minamoto no Yoshimitsu), a warlord of the end of the Heian era (under emperor Seiwa). The school was then transmitted through the Takeda family.
Takeda Sato Kunimitsu, who used to serve the Daimyo of the Aizu clan, Ashina Moriuji, was entitled lord of an estate called Miike in the present Miyazaki prefecture, and inherited the school Daito Ryu.
Thus, the Daitō Ryū’s origin dates back roughly 900 years, but it was openly taught for the first time at the end of the 19th century by Takeda Sōkaku. One of his most famous students was Morihei Ueshiba, who later founded Aikidō.
There are 2884 techniques without weapons in the Daitō Ryū’s curriculum.
