==Atarashii Naginata==
In the [[Japanese Eras|Meiji]] period, naginatajutsu was included in the curriculum of public schools.<ref name="Bennett 2005"/> Eventually, a committee of naginatajutsu practitioners, including teachers of [[Tendo Ryu|Tendô Ryu]] and [[Jikishin Kage Ryu]], created a system of naginata called ''Atarashii Naginata'', or 'New Naginata'. This is sometimes referred to as ''naginatadô'', but this is technically incorrect as the All Japan Naginata Federation took the Ministry of Education's recommendation to avoid using ''-dô'' and any spiritural/nationalistic connotations that might have. They also use hiragana (なぎなた) instead of kanji, to further distance it from the koryu styles.<ref name="Bennett 2005"/>

The modern atarashii naginata curriculum includes paired forms and ''shiai'' with a wood and bamboo practice naginata. There are also paired kata using a fully wooden ''kata naginata''. Practitioners often practice a koryu style of naginata as well (usually [[Tendo Ryu|Tendô Ryu]] or [[Jikishin Kage Ryu]]), although this is kept separate from the official atarashii naginata curriculum to avoid any appearance of favoritism.
