About Juko-Ryu Inyo Toho (Sword Art)

Juko-Kai has a very special closed sword division identified as Juko-ryu Aiki Inyo Toho (soft-hard coordinated mind-body-balance sword art). Juko-ryu Aiki Inyo Toho is broken down into three categories which are Kenjutsu, Iaijutsu, and Battojutsu. Great emphasis is placed upon formal sword and weapons training for all members of the Juko-ryu Bujutsu division. 

Our practitioners are taught extensive sword etiquette, sword ukemi (breakfalls with the blade both drawn and sheathed), kata, the drawing and sheathing of the blade, formal cuts, the unarmed taking of the blade, the blade against other major weapons, and all else that is found in the traditional Japanese sword arts. In the Juko-Ryu Bujutsu division, it is a requirement that practitioners of our closed systems study and earn a teachers license in the sword.
