The ‘Nihon no Budō Jūjutsu Jūnō Seigō no Dō’ (日本の武道 柔術 柔能制剛の道 ) by Oshimatsu (1983) describes Ryōi Shintō-ryū (良移心当流), as a being a "Sōgō-bujutsu no ketsujitsu“ (良移心当流は総合武術の結実 - a comprehensive martial art of achieving success).

The 'Bugei Ryūha Daijiten' by Watatani and Yamada (1978) records the Kitō-ryū (起倒流), (which is derived from Ryōi Shintō-ryū 良移心当流), as having the following elements within its curriculum:

• Jū 柔(pliability)
• Kabuto 兜 (helmet)
• Kumiuchi 組打(battlefield grappling)
• lai 居合 (sword drawing)
• Bo 棒 (six foot staff)
• Tachi 太刀 (long battlefield sword)
• Jinren 陣鎌 (battle camp sickle)

Note - Jinren (陣鎌) is the 'On', or older reading of 'kama',

So, I was interested to obtain a Japanese book (as below) called - 'Sakurai-chō no bō no te' (桜井町の棒の手 Sakurai Town 'bō' stick technique), which featured "Kitō-ryū no bō no te" (起倒流の棒の手 Kitō-ryū 'bō' stick techniques).
