Ryōi Shintōkai
良移心当会
Early U.K. Ryōi Shintō-ryū history
Warrant Officer Charles Carlton (16353660) was Jame's Shortt's father - Peter Shortt’s brother-in-law. He introduced Peter Shortt to Ryōi Shintō-ryū Jūjutsu under Takeda Tatsuo in 1928. Carlton was a member of RAF Regiment and is pictured (above) with Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II).
Unfortunately, it appears that this course has now been cancelled due to the worsening Covid-19 situation in Austria. My best wishes to the people of Austria and hopefully a new date will soon be able to be arranged.
A great opportunity to train with: James Shortt - Ryōi Shintō-ryū Jūjutsu - Menkyo Kaiden (良移心当流 柔術 免許皆伝) 10th dan (十段), Hanshi (範士) - Ryōi Shintō-ryū Jūjutsu (ZNSBR - All Japan Budō Federation)
Jigō Tenshin-ryū Kumiuchi (自剛天真流組討) By Yamamoto Yoshiyasu (山本義泰) - Tenri University (undated)
This is a very interesting article about the Jigō Tenshin-ryū (自剛天真流), which was an off-shoot of the Ryōi Shintō-ryū (良移心当流). I found the emphasis that the school (unarmed aspects) was comprised of: Kumiuchi (組討 - grappling) Kenpō (拳法 - fist art) Toriai shikkō (捕合執行 - restraining /capturing) Interesting and in line with the Ryōi Shintō-ryū.

Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai (日本古武道協会) - Kitō-ryū Jūjutsu (起倒流柔術)
Inoue Shoji (1927-2018) studied Kitō-ryū for some time with Odaka Shigeru. He was not Sōke, but may have received Menkyo (the level below Menkyo Kaiden). However, he was probably the last practitioner of Kitō-ryū and represented it in the Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai (Japan Old Martial Arts Association). This article below is taken from the Nihon Kobudō […]
Ryōi Shintō-ryū Kenpō (良移心当流拳法)
Further to my pervious posts of 25th June 2021, regarding Kōbujutsu (古武術) and 14th July 2021, regarding the elements of Jigō Tenshin-ryū. I have included some additional details to show how ‘Chūgoku (Chinese) Kenpō’ (中国拳法), from the Southern Shaolin (南少林) Chinese monk Chin Genpin (陳元贇) can be considered as the third foundation pillar, in the […]
How the introduction of firearms led to additional battlefield grappling and the development of schools such as the Ryōi Shintō-ryū
This article provides an insight into how, contrary to popular belief, the presence of firearms created additional reason for unarmed battlefield combat (kumiuchi) and how schools of battlefield combat, such as the Ryōi Shintō-ryū would transition into peacetime Jūjutsu. From: Takagi-ryū Taijutsu Nitsuite (高木流体術について -About Takagi-ryū Taijutsu) Yamamoto Yoshiyasu (山本義泰), Undated (possibly 2012-13) - Translated […]
