<blockquote>Throughout its history, a decline in the popularity of Sôsuishi-ryû has often posed a real threat to its survival. However, the inheritors have always prevented this by learning and incorporating other techniques and theories such as Ogasawara-ryû and Kyûshin-ryû, so that the tradition remains alive and relevant, and that the technique of Sôsuishi-ryû is continuously developed. Today, this responsiveness to alternative disciplines is still maintained by the current 16th Master, Manzo Shitama, ensuring that Sôsuishi-ryû technique continues to evolve.

The legacy of Sôsuishi-ryû from past masters comprises such a vast and complicated array of techniques that it is nowadays simplified to make it easier to learn. This was initiated by the 15th Master Shusaku Shitama, to make Sōsuishi-ryū accessible to as many people as possible, in recognition of increasing popular interest in classical martial arts.</blockquote>
