Shorinji Kempo from what I heard is a martial art similar to Shaolin with many joint locks and animal influenced strikes.

[Toudiyama[NL]]

tanto jitsu= knife art
Kyudo= the art of bowshooting, with the traditional a symetric bow

Bajitsu is bowshoting from a horse joba might be related

Shorinji Kempo is related to Shaolin, it was founded by Doshin Sho and has religion linked to it (budism or shinto)

Shorinji actually means shaolin - (little forest) but in Japanese. It is Do shin so's translation of the shaolin methods, combined with Ju Jutsu other Japanese Systems. Quite a nice style.

I thought this was Yabusame?


Tnato Jutsu - I dont know of any distinct Tanto jutsu schools although it part of many traditional schools. most sword schools may use a shoto or wakizashi as opposed to a tanto. tanto where often concealed, so many of the techniques contain this suprise use of the tanto in their application, sometimes against unarmed assailants.

Tachi oyogi is a swimming method i believe - employed by bushi when wearing full battle armour.

Not sure though.

you are right that was yabusame, bajitsu is horsemanship as is jobajitsu

Tachi oyogi is swimming in armour upright
Taguri Oyogi is hand over hand swimming
