Matsumoto combined the best elements of the Kurasuma Ryū from the Kansai area with the most efficient sword techniques of the Kashima style in the Kanto area, and created towards the end of the Muromachi Period (1336-1573) his own school of swordsmanship called Kashima Shinden Shinkage Ryū. The 7th head master of the school later changed its name to Jiki Shinkage Ryū; name that is still used nowadays. Sonobe Hideo, a disciple of the 14th headmaster Satake Kanryūsai (and Satake’s wife Shigeo) was learning at the same time Ryūgo Ryū Naginata-jutsu. She blended some of the Kenjutsu techniques she had learned from the Satakes with her Naginata knowledge and created a set of 25 Kata that would then constitute the Jiki Shinkage Ryū Naginata-jutsu. As the 15th headmaster of the lineage, she trained many students. The school is characterised by techniques and postures that can be used for both attack and defence, such as Kowaki no Kamae or Kuruma-gaeshi. The main Kuruma-gaeshi techniques are Mizuguruma and Kazaguruma, which draw their inspiration from the flow and the forces of natural phenomenons (water and wind). Those are brilliant and bold moves that can subdue the opponent with the minimum use of power. The Jiki Shinkage Ryū Naginata-jutsu was influential in the inception of Naginata as a modern Budo. -- CREDITS -- Footage by Seido Co., Ltd. https://www.seidoshop.com (en) https://www.seidoshop.jp (jp) https://www.seidoshop.fr (fr) https://www.seidoshop.com/blogs/the-s...
