If your main reason for studying budo is personal self defense, and you could start your training all over again then :
a) Which koryu would you take (assuming you could take any you like) and why?
b) Describe the curriculum of this ryu.
I am mainly looking for info on combatively effective koryu emphasizing (but not limited to) unamoured jujutsu.
If I could choose any art to study I would choose an effective koryu bujutsu that concentrates on jujutsu but with a few weapons covered as well.
From what I have read here and elsewhere Yagyu Shingan ryu, Sekiguchi Shinshin ryu, Takeuchi ryu, Hontai Yoshin ryu etc fit these criteria. Any others?
