--- INTRODUCTION ---
Founded just in the middle of the 17th century by Futagami Hannosuke Masa-aki, Sōsuishi Ryū is a “Sōgōbujutsu”, a comprehensive martial art covering multiple battle situations. Even now, they still practice Iai and Jūjutsu techniques with and without sets of ancient armors, and with various weapons such as Katana, Tachi, and small concealed weapons. Those techniques were directly inspired by the most ancient Jūjutsu school in Japan, Take-no-uchi Ryū.
Initially developed within the Tōrenji clan, vassal to the Fukuoka clan, the school spread in North Kyūshū under the influence of the Shitama family, who took over the school after Futagami Han-no-suke passed away. The Sekiryukan Dojo, oldest Dojo in Japan, is still lead by the Shitama family.
In 1888, Matsui Hyakutarō Munetada, a disciple of the school, was called to Tokyo to teach Budo to the Akasaka Police. As he stayed in Tokyo, Matsui opened his own school under the name Sōsuishi-ryū Kumiuchi Koshi no Mawari.
Matsui’s schools continued under Sugiyama Shotaro, and then under Kitajima Koku, who named the branch “Kosonkai”. Today, the school is led by Mr. Kimura Akio but his poor health stopped him from giving us an interview himself. His assistant Mr. Usami Hiroji kindly accepted to answer our questions about their school, and gave us an interesting insight on the practice and principles of Sōsuishi Ryū.
