Koto Ryū I
Kamae, Atemi & Shōden no Kata
In his book “Unarmed Fighting Techniques of the Samurai”, Hatsumi Sensei introduces the Koto Ryū quoting Sun Tzu (Sonchi) and comments “Many people believe that knowledge is enough, but knowledge without courage ultimately leads to foolishness.”
The Koto Ryū is about courage. It was formalized as a fighting system during the 16th century, at the end of the Sengoku Jidai period of chaos in Japan. It is composed of five levels and uses long steps (or jumps) to attack and retreat from the enemy's reactions. It is a very powerful style of combat, deeper than one might think.
This part contains the Kamae, Atemi & Shōden no Kata.
