Kyoden gihou / 教傳技法
Hyoho Taisha ryu “Kenjutsu” (swordsmanship) and “bo-jutsu” (stick fighting – only limited techniques) skills have been inherited to generations of Soke (the head of the sytel, family) as of today, from the founder Marume Kurando no suke.
Not only martial arts skills, but also there are teachings of observations skills, including use of abacus, time, weather and earthquake forecasts.

【Grading system / 傳位制度】
Our grading system is based on the concept of “Kuyou” (九曜, Navagraha) and there are nine levels of grades between the first grade Shoden (初傳) and the final grade Shogo Inka (称号印可).
Members who were nominated by Soke (the head of the style) are able to take the grading and they will obtain a grade only if Soke and Shihan (master) acknowledge them.
Only members who obtained all nine grades are qualified to take the examination of the Menkyo kaiden (免許皆伝) or full certificate.
