Shojitsuken-rikata Ichiryu
Originating as a battlefield art designed for armored combat, Shojitsuken-rikata Ichiryu was officially preserved within the Okayama domain throughout the Edo period. While many schools transitioned into purely ritualized forms during the centuries of peace, this lineage strictly maintained its practical mechanics. The training focuses entirely on the anatomical leverage, gravity, and precise blade angles required to bypass armor. It developed not merely as a system of combat, but as a profound discipline of self-mastery for the samurai of Okayama.
Master Masaru Kanzaki
