hello to all, my question is regarding Gikan Ryu, as some might know Gikan Ryu is often reffred to as a Ninpo school but this is one thing i dont understand, i can understand Gyokko Ryu and Koto Ryu as they both have elements of Ninpo in there, but i'n not too sure about Gikan Ryu although it did derive from the Gyokko Ryu line.
could anyone perhaps shed some light on this matter.

according to genbukan people, it is gikkan-ryu ninpo koppojutsu, so it's bone manipulation art of ninpo.

in the genbukan, it is being passed from takamatsu toshitsugu to sato kinbei then to the president of genbukan, mr. tanemura.

this is a jujutsu-ish martial art with low stances and intricate footwork.
