This method of movement is used in some iai schools, namely Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu. Those affiliated with the ZNIR / Seitokai seem to perform the kata in a serious of steps that makes it very easy to see (video here). Even the Shimomura-ha MJER (and thus Muso Shinden Ryu and Seiteigata), which moves the back leg first during furikaburi, also includes a small but similar movement during the cut.Originally Posted by Nathan Scott
I don't know what this movement is called in relation to MJER, but I will ask next practice. I believe sensei even practiced judo as a school boy (war era) so I'll pick his brain about any relationship between the movements or terms.

Geez, and here I specifically posted a video from tatehiza-no-bu!! Actually, the motion is the same whether you are moving from seiza, tatehiza, or standing. And, yes, kiriotoshi = kirioroshi.Originally Posted by Nathan Scott

After talking with sensei he mentioned that, while the footwork called 'shikko' by Jigoro Kano and that of iaido (specifically MJER) is very similiar, it is not the same. I cannot, unfortunately, report the specifics as both sensei and I were drunk at the time and it is frowned upon to practice and/or demonstrate martial arts in bars.
The name for the footwork in MJER is "ma o tsumeru" (間を詰める ). This shouldn't be too surprising to anybody familiar with the terminology used in other parts of the MJER curriculum, particularly the tachiuchi portion; there is tsume-ai no kurai (詰合之位 ), daisho-zume no kurai (大小詰之位 ), and daisho-tachi-zume no kurai (大小立詰之位 ).

Since Saigo and Yokoyama became "training partners" for some time, we might well assume that Yokoyama could get some technical influence or inspiration so to speak from Saigo and that some of the Saigo's skills might also have survived through Yokoyama's instruction to his best pupil, who is also considered to be the best Judo exponent ever. So, there might be a link between Daito-ryu principles and Kyuzo Mifune's outstanding skills.
Deception is one of Kenpo´s best technique.

Wow this is a great thread!! Thank all of you who contributed. Now I can tell this information to my students and seem really smart.
I think the strongest link between Daito Ryu and Judo is Kenji Tomiki. Tomiki Aikido is a synthesis of these two lineages...IMHO.
T. Threadgill and I have speculated that Yoshida Kotaro, of whom so little is known, perhaps had a previous or concurrent study history of Yoshin-ryu. The reasons? a) his connection with the Yoshin-ryu factions, as in the aforementioned picture b) the name he used for his own practice - Yanagi-ryu, which, like the "yo" in yoshin-ryu, means willow. Given that there is no known Yanagi-ryu connected with Yoshida previous to him (shades of Daito-ryu), it is logical to assume that this way of practicing/"ryu" started with him.
Maybe not. Maybe he was a neophyte who learned Daito-ryu from Takeda and that's it.
