Founder: Takenouchi Nakatsukasadaiyū Hisamori(竹内中務太夫久盛)
Date Founded: Muromachi-Jidai - Tenbun gannen (天文元年 1532)
==Foundation of the Ryuha==
Takenouchi-ryū (or Takeuchi-ryū) is the oldest dodumented koryu bujutsu ryuha that contains a systemized form of unarmed combat. This ryuha is renowned for it's unarmed combat techniques and being the influence and even the progenitor of a plethora of other koryu [[bujutsu]] ryuha.
The Takenouchi family were bushi descended from the
[[Minamoto]] family and originally resided in [[Kyoto], owning land and estates in Mimasaka no kuni. During the upheavals of the [[sengoku-jidai]] Takenouchi Hisamori became the lord ofIchinose castle in Mimasaka no Kuni (美作国), which is now modern day Okayama Prefecture. The castle later fell to an offensive by Ukita Ienao's (One of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's generals) forces, inducing the Takenouchi family to flee to the countryside of Mimasaka.
According to the Takenouchi Hisamori retreated to Sannomiya shrine and stayed there for six days in order to develop his family's school swordsmanship via training and prayer. Takenouchi Hisamori was a relatively small person even for Japanese people, but used a training sword of two shaku and four sun in length. On the sixth night of [[shugyo]] as he slept, Hisamori was approached by a mountain ascetic or [[yamabushi]] who Hisamori promptly attacked.
The yamabushi controlled and restrained the enraged Hisamori with comparative ease until he calmed and then taught him elements of unarmed combat, restraint methods using cord (hojojutsu) and finally the yamabushi broke Hisamori's training sword in half, making two short swords which later became known as ''kogusoku koshi no mawari'' or close combat grappling techniques, armed with a shortsword.
The techniques Hisamori learned either via dream, vision or direct teaching from an outside source unspecified, formed the basis of the Takenouchi-ryū bujutsu curriculum which continually evolved via the experiences of subsequent generations of Takenouchi family descendants into a comprehensive system of martial sciences (''sōgō bujutsu'' 総合武術)containing at present, over 500 techniques.
