HI
here is a brief description. I wont go into details to
much as I assume you are not a member of either ryu.
kukishinden Ryu (KSDR) Kodachi has only 3 kata for the
use of the kodachi. Once source I know may try to say
there are a further 7 ura gata for these 3 omote gata,
but i have seen a Kukishin ryu densho and no ura gata
were listed in it.
In each one the attacker will come at you with a
katana and he is trying to cut across at your torso.
The reason for this is you are moving around him and
you decide when to expose a weak point therefore
making him attack the area you choose. Once he does in
all three you rush in fast and thrust the kodachi into
him.
In Hon Tai Yoshin Ryu (HYR), I have not studied. I
have been shown the kata once and I have them on
video. therefore cant describe them properly.
There are five omote kata and I am told maybe some ura
gata (which I have not seen or know of). They like the
Kuki kodachi involve thrusting and a few slashing such
as to the neck or torso.
The HYR tend to sink lower in kamae than the KSDR.
However there is a historical link between the two
ryu.
Kukishinden Ryu is really called Kukishinden Happo
Biken, and originates from Kukishin ryu (main branch
of that is now Kukishinden Tenshin Hyoho) This all
originates from the Kuki family who are today still
soke of the tenshin hyoho branch, and also head
priests of the Kuki shrine. IN the 1600s Ohkuni Onihei
was a shihan in the Kukishin ryu and met with Takagi
Gennoshin from Takagi Yoshin ryu. together they
exchanged ideas etc and Takagi Yoshin ryu was changed.
Kukishin ryu Bojutsu was added to Takagi. In the early
1900's Ishitani (Ishiya) sensei on his death bed
handed menkyo kaiden makimono for the Takagi Yoshin
ryu to Takamatsu Toshitsugu, they were to be passed to
Kakuno one of his students. Both Kakuno and Takamatsu
held menkyo Kaiden in Takagi Yoshin Ryu and kukishin
Ryu. sort time later Minaki sensei is handed menkyo
kaiden in the kakuno takagi ryu and from him him the
HYR is developed.

Ah, thank you. I'd like to get the explantion of the
Ryu of the kodachi. *slaps self*
Richardson Paul <

in some cases the kodachi is also regarded as a
wakizashi.
Several Ryu still teach the use of the kodachi, two I
can name are Kukishinden Ryu (3 kata) and HonTai
Yoshin Ryu (5 kata and I think some ura gata).
