Tagaki Yoshin-ryū
Tagaki Yoshin-ryū ("Tagaki Heart of the Willow School") was a school of Japanese martial arts. It was founded by Ito Sukesada, based on techniques that he learned from an ascetic named So Unryu. He taught this system to a samurai named Tagaki Oriuemon Shingenobu, and Tagaki's name was added to the school's.[1] Tagaki was already a teacher of jutaijutsu, an unarmed grappling system similar to the Chinese art of taijiquan.[2] He was recognised as a shihan by Emperor Higashiyama in 1695.[1]
