神傳不動流 Shindenfudō-ryū (the immovable transmissions by the gods) was founded by 源八郎為義 Minamoto Hachirō Tameyoshi in the Hogen Era (1156). The system has its origin from Kosshijutsu that came to Japan with Ikai and later transmitted to 出雲冠者義照 Izumo Kanja Yoshiteru in the Yeikyu Era (1113).
The school is specialized in 打拳体術 Dakentaijutsu (the fist striking methods) and 柔体術 Jutaijutsu (flexible body methods). The school uses several different types of Yari, Ono (War axes), O-tsuchi (war hammers) and Naginata. Hojojutsu (the art of tying a person with a rope) is used along side the Taijutsu, to help restrain the opponent. An important aspect of Shinden Fudo Ryu is that the techniques can be performed while wearing the Daisho. Another important point in this school’s waza is that the foe is brought to the ground so they cannot land safely. In the Jutaijutsu densho it is said that you will use Jujutsu to take the opponent down and then you will use Dakenjutsu.
Everything in nature has to compete to live, and this form of survival is taught in the form of the life of nature.

The dates of the early masters is when they where active. There is a 140 year gap between 1624 and 1764 in the list above. There is two persons active in 1624, so it might be a typo (I don’t know)?
打券体術 DAKEN TAIJUTSU
This art (jutsu) consists of locks, entanglements, strangling, striking and kicking. The strikes is done in such a way that it is difficult for the opponent to see them coming. When the opponent grabs you, you must always have one arm free.
There are no kamae (and there are many kamae). One imagine a kamae mentally inside but does not show it physically on the outside. There is a Budo saying: “Show your outer weakness, but maintain your inner strength.”
