Kiba Koshiro

from cover

Kukishin Ryu is sogo bujutsu (comprehensive system of martial arts) founded in Japan in the 14th century. This school of martial arts specializes in sword and stick fighting, and played a significant role in early naval warfare of feudal Japan.

In 1937, Kiba Koshiro, a student of Takamatsu Toshitsugu (the 25th soke of Kukishinden Ryu), published Kukishin Ry Bujutsu and introduced the stick fighting arts of Kukishin Ryu to the public for the first time. This book offers an excellent look at the development of Kukishin Ryu before WWII, and gives great insight into the development of this classical Japanese martial art.
