This study is aimed at explaining the origin of the name, techniques, and philosophy of Jikishinryu Judo, founded in Shimane Prefecture and felt to be the first to use the term ‘judo’ in its nomenclature.
Details of the study include:
1) Mitsuhide Terada was the founder of Jikishinryu Jujyutsu, the early name for Jikishinryu Judo, and was later succeeded by Sadatsugu Terada and, subsequently by Masanaga Inoue.
2) Masayori Inoue, the forth successor of the head family, changed the name from Jikishinryu Jujyutsu to Jikishinryu Judo in 1724.
3) The main lesson content of Jikishinryu Jujyutsu consisted of sword handling techniques for use when wearing armor, with thirty techniques altogether.
On the other hand, techniques of Jikishinryu Judo, the modified version of Jikishinryu Jujyutsu, increased in number from thirty to ninety-seven, and included techniques suitable for casually-dressed participants, such as hitting techniques (atemi-waza) and throwing thechniques (nage-waza). Jikishinryu Judo was a synthesized martial art with both sword and hand techniques.
4) The doctrine of Jikishinryu Judo included not only the mastery of techniques for battle, but also a philosophical approach to conducting one's life based on a combination of firmness and flexibility tempered with moderation and mild temperament.
