Developed by Uchida Ryogoro (1837 \u2013 1921) this weapon is essentially an adaptation of the western walking cane and was used as civilian defence weapon. Further refined by his son, Uchida Ryohei following his appointment to a Budo committee aimed at formalising the art, the result has been twelve introductory Kata using the short stick in defence against a swordsman. Using the weapon single handed, the art is one of dynamic timing and subtlety and comprises thrusting, striking, parrying and even joint locking technique. Again the Kata represent a wealth of underlying variation available to the diligent student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
