History
Among the students of master Tuzo Nagahide ( Japanese: 中 条 長 秀 ), the founder of the Tuzo-ryu school , included Kai Buzen-no kami, who later took the name Ohashi Kageyudzaemon Takayoshi. Among the students of the latter, Toda (or Tomita) Kuroemon Nagai ( 富 田九郎 右衛門 （九郎 左衛 門 長 家） ), a samurai who served the Asakur family from Etizen, stood out. Around 1490, he received the Mankyo Kaiden of the Tuzo-ryu school . He transferred his skills to his two sons: Gorodzaemon ( я 田五郎 左衛 門 勢 源 , 1519-1590) and Dzibuzaemon Kageymasa. Despite the fact that the school’s techniques have not changed much, nevertheless, the name Tuzo-ryu was changed to Toda-ryu [3] .
Under the name Toda-ryu, the school became known around the 1500s ( the Muromachi period ) thanks to Gorodzaemon, who later changed his name to Toda Seigan because of his illness [2] [3] [4] . Initially, Toda-ryu was Sogo Bujutsu , that is, an integrated system of martial arts, and, therefore, its training program included the use of a variety of classical weapons and various methods of warfare. However, subsequently, a number of schools separated from the parental tradition, adopting from it only some elements [2] .
Due to eye disease, Gorodzaemon could not continue his father's work and left his post as guardian of the traditions of family art. He transferred the leadership of his school to his younger brother, Jibuzaemon Kagemasa. In the second half of the 16th century, Toda-ryu knowledge began to be taught in the Kanto region , and Hojo Ujikuni, head of the Hatigata castle, became the second head of the school along the Toda-ha Buko-ryu [2] .
Subsequently, the school developed mainly as a Toda ha Buko-ryu style.
The Toda-ryu school is known for using kodati [5] . In addition, it is assumed that the weapons of tigiriki ( 日本語 . ) Originate precisely from the Toda-ryu school [6] .
