Old schools and descendant arts
As jujutsu has so many facets, it has become the foundation for a variety of distinct fighting styles and derivations today. As each instructor incorporated new techniques and tactics into what was taught to them originally, they codified and developed their own ryu (school) or Federation to help other instructors, schools, and clubs. Some of these schools modified the source material enough that they no longer consider themselves a style of jujutsu. Arguments and discussions amongst the martial arts fraternity have evoked to the topic of whether specific methods are in fact not jujitsu at all. Tracing the history of a specific school can be cumbersome and impossible in some circumstances. Around the year 1600, there were over 2000 jujutsu ko-ryū styles, most with at least some common descent, characteristics, and shared techniques. Specific technical characteristics, a list of techniques, and the way techniques were performed varied from school to school. Many of the generalizations noted above do not hold true for some schools of jujutsu. Schools of jujutsu with long lineages include: Asayama Ichiden-ryū 浅山一傳流 Araki-ryū Fusen-ryū 不遷流 Gyokushin-ryū Hontai Yōshin-ryū 本體楊心流(Takagi Ryu)高木流 Iga-ryū 為我流 Kashima Shin-ryū 鹿島神流 Kitō-ryū 起倒流 Kukishin-ryū九鬼神流 Kasumi Shin-ry* Enshin-ryū Kyushin-ryū Sekiguchi-ryū 関口流 Shindō Yōshin-ryū 神道楊心流 Shinden Fudo-ryū Sōsuishi-ryū 双水執流 (Sosuishitsu-ryū) Takenouchi-ryū 竹内流 Tatsumi-ryū 立身流 Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū 天神真楊流 Tsutsumi Hōzan-ryū (Original) Tennen Rishin-ryū 天然理心流 Yagyū Shingan-ryū 柳生心眼流 Yōshin-ryū 楊心流 Totsuka-ha Yoshin-ryū Tagaki Yoshin-ryū Ryōi Shintō-ryū Spalding Athletic Library, Jiu Jitsu, The Effective Japanese Mode of Self Defense
