A sword art with a jujutsu grappling element is simply a sword art that expressly practices the jujutsu element. IMHO.
I feel that having a Koryu Jujutsu style in and of itself would be just as...

Wasn't his teacher the leader of the "Sex Way House?"
Any chance we'll see E-Budo apparel other than t-shirts and sweat shirts?
