I have been pondering a thing concerning Shinden Fudo Ryu for quite some time now and I am interested to hear the input of those more knowledgable than me in this area.
A Story you often encounter in the BBT is that of Takamatsu Toshitsugu entering the Dojo of the Martial artist (and uncle?) Toda. I have been told, read on internet and I belive in some book that the Dojo had a sign that read "Shinden Fudo Ryu Taijutsu or perhaps Shinden Fudo Ryu Jutaijutsu". Takamatsu was taught Shinden Fudo Ryu and recieved Menkyo Kaiden in it. Later I believe he taught Hatsumi Masaaki.
On my diplomas it says "Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu". During 1998, i think, the theme was Shinden Fudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu (SFRD). There is a Quest video with SFRD. In the TCJRM there are several techniques from SFRD. All dakentaijutsu and never jutaijutsu. I was fortunate to train some Shinden Fudo Ryu Jutaijutsu techniques (SFRJ) in the early 90-ties, because my tacher visited Japan and got to train with a Japanese Shihan who happened to be practising the SFRJ at that time. However this is a long time ago and I havent heard a word about SFRJ since.
Can someone shed some light on the situation of SFRJ? Is SFRJ even a part of Bujinkan? Is it somehow incorporated into SFRD? I have also seen the spelling: Shinden Fudo Ryu Taijutsu for the same techniques as the SFR jutaijutsu.
All help in clarifying is much appreciated!
Best regards / Bujin
