TAKEDA RYU NAKAMURA HA - SHUGIJUTSU is a subdiscipline of TAKEDA RYU NAKAMURA HA - JOJUTSU, which is accessed at master level. The experience of handling the Jo as well as experience in fighting are premises for understanding this discipline.

Short sticks are used. These have a special profile. This derives from the use of the scabbard of the daggers for combat at the old times. The shugis have the length of a forearm and had been fitted  to each samurai personally.  With them it is possible to defend against a sword, a stick as well as a kicking attack. But who thinks that this is it, is mistaken. Almost all TAKEDA RYU NAKAMURA HA - AIKIJUTSU techniques can also be applied, which even increases the efficiency.
Highest level of knowledge is shown with pervailing over the sword, by one of the Headmasters.
