REKISHI
Hontai Yoshin Takagi Ryu is an old Japanese form of jujutsu that is said to have come from So Unryu and his scroll called the Rinpo Hiden. It was later passed onto Ito Kii no Kami who later founded Ito Ryu. The people that are credited with the actual founding of the ryu is Takagi Orieumon Shigetoshi and Takagi Umanosuke Shigesada. It was these two people that created most of what is still taught today within the ryu in lines with the jujutsu. Later in history the Kukishin Ryu and Chosui Ryu teacher Okuni Kihei came into contact with Takagi Gennoshin (son of Umanosuke) and they exchanged techniques with one another. After comparing schools and several matches they decided to teach along side one another. The weapons were kept from the Kukishin Ryu and the Jujutsu of Takagi Ryu. Gennoshin became ill and Okuni Kihei became the third soke of Takagi Ryu. The Ryu then continued in an unbroken line up to Ishiya Takeo. Ishiya passed the teachings onto three people. The first was his son Ishiya Matsutaro who also mastered Kukishin Ryu under Akiyama Yotaro and later taught Takamatsu Toshitsugu. The second was the father of Takamatsu Toshitsugu named Yoshikichi. The third and most important was Kakuno Hachiheita. Kakuno sensei passed the lineage in different forms to several people. The main student was Tsutsui Yoshitaro. Tsutsui sensei taught the techniques to the Kusuhara family.
Today there are several indirect lines teaching elements of Takagi Ryu Jujutsu. Many have different names and some even contain different waza. The other schools that have some of the teachings are the Hontai Yoshin Ryu through Minaki Saburo, the Shingetsu Muso Yanagi Ryu through Wakita Seishi and the Takagi Yoshin Ryu through Takamatsu Toshitsugu.
