Are there or are there not any Shoden, Chuden, and Okuden kata in this ryu-ha?

I have been told that Kukishinden ryu bojutsu is just the 25 Keiko Sabaki kata.

Which is true?

Hello,

I recall Manaka sensei once saying that the Sabaki gata of the bujinkan were more advanced and came after the shoden, chuden and okuden level kata. He said he wasn't sure why Hatsumi sensei told him to teach the sabaki gata first. The sabaki gata are the only ones I have seen listed in some of the Ishiya makimono so the shoden, chuden and okuden (commonly called the kangi no kata) may be from some other branch of the kukishin ryu.

Hope this helps,

The sabaki gata are the classical/ traditional kata most closely associated with the various Kuki ryuha. The other kata supposedly come from the Tenshin Tatara Kangi-den no maki.

• Goho No Kamae - 5 kata
• Shoden - 9 kata
• Chuden - 12 kata
• Sabaki - 12 kata
• Okuden - 12 kata
• Shirabe Moguri Gata -12 kata
Weapons Kata
• Bikenjutsu (sword arts) - 20 kata
• Kodachi (short sword) - 3 kata

• Jo kata (short bo) - 16 kata

And ... in BO kata you got :

10 Kamae
kihon gata :5 kata
Keiko Sabaki Gata : 25 kata
Shoden No Kata : 9 Kata
Chuden No Kata: 9 kata
Okuden No Kata ; 9 kata

and so on, for other weapons too, Kukishinden have very many techniques.

Tenshin Tatara kangi-den no maki? I'm assuming that's part of the Amatsu Tatara, right? I think I read that somewhere; maybe tatara magazine.

Out of curiousity, what ever happened to the original Takagi Ryu bojutsu/sojutsu? Did any of that remain after the Takagi/Okuni exchange?

Sorry for the questions. I hope I'm not prying too deep.

There are various collections of Amatsu Tatara scrolls, depending on which family they were connected to. The Amatsu Tatara Nakatomi HIbumi no Maki of the Nakatomi family lists 2 scrolls titled Kuki hiden bojutsu hiho no maki. This might be the main collection we all know so well?

The Amatsu Tatara Hisshin Ginko Roku of the Mononobe family lists two scrolls of kangi no maki.

I have never heard of the kangi no maki bo kata being taught in the Genbukan. It might be, but I am only working on my shodan in bojutsu so maybe in time I will :).

Hi everybody

As far as I kno there are first

25 Koshiki/Sabaki gata

They are not fighting kata.
In these Kata we learn the use of the Bo.
(According to Manaka Sensei, Someya Sensei and Hatsumi Sensei

After that we have

Shoden - Chuden and Okuden (each Level contains of 9 Kata)

Those are the fighting kata - the applications.
They are shorter but focus much more on timing, power and dynamics

Stefan Marcec very good point.. I don't believe the kukishinden ryuha have the other three sets of 9 bo gata..? They are never listed in my kukishinden ryuha book I have on it's history and techniques..
Also I believe they are from another ryuha.. from what I was told by a few people training in Japan..
This seems to be an on-going question..
More importantly.. does it matter?
I like these kata a lot..

ok

Mr. Severe,

If the shoden, chuden, okuden gata are from the Amatsu Tatara (when did the Mononobe & Kuki families share??), then it would seem only natural that the Kuki arts would have these. Which Kuki art is the problem; aren't there a dozen or more "different" lines?

Good discussion!
