Shōrei was also the 4th headmaster of the Araki Ryū Kenjustu in the Annaka Domain (Gunma Prefecture). He was an accomplished swordsman, known as Jōshū Kotengu (the Small Tengu of Jōshū), but later achieved full mastership of the Ganritsu Ryū Shuriken-jutsu (founded by Matsubayashi Heiyasai) under Kaiho Hanpei, a Hokushin Ittō Ryū instructor in the Mito Clan. Based on those different influences, Shōrei devised his own style, which would subsequently be known as Negishi Ryū. The Shuriken used in Ganritsu Ryū were very thin, like hairpins, but Shōrei decided to make them thicker and heavier. Classical Japanese martial arts can be divided in different disciplines, such as Jūjutsu, Kenjutsu or Shuriken-jutsu, etc. Shuriken-jutsu can also be divided in 3 broad categories known as Jiki-dahō (straight throw), Hanten-dahō (reverse throw) and Kaiten-dahō (rotating throw). In Jiki-dahō the Shuriken is thrown straight, without rotation, its tip facing forward the whole time. In Hanten-dahō the practitioner holds the Shuriken with the tip in his hand and throw it with a 180° rotation. Finally, in Kaiten-dahō the practitioner throw Happō, Jūji and other “star-shaped” Shuriken. Negishi Ryū favours the use of straight “missile-like” Shuriken thrown in the Jiki-dahō fashion. -- CREDITS -- Footage by Seido Co., Ltd. https://www.seidoshop.com (en) https://www.seidoshop.jp (jp) https://www.seidoshop.com/blogs/the-s...
