Shinto Muso Ryu Jojutsu Kyohan Book by Hosho Shiokawa (Hardcover)

Shiokawa Takayoshi's secret art "Shinto Muso Ryu Jōjutsu Manual"
A detailed instruction book with a series of photographs that focuses on the essence of Jōdō, "the art"!

Shinto Muso-ryu has a vast system of techniques, including not only Jōjutsu but also Kenjutsu, Jūjutsu, Kusarigamajutsu, and Taijutsu. It will take a great deal of time and determination to master all of these. This book explains everything from the catalog of Jōjutsu to Omote, Chudan, and Ran'ai. The Mugai-ryu Iaido Federation has enough content to obtain the fourth dan in Jōdō.

I hope that this book, which focuses on the art of Jōjutsu and more accurately reveals the techniques passed down by Shiokawa Takayoshi, will allow many people to experience the fun and rewards of this ancient style of Jō.
