Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū (天真正伝香取神道流) is one of the oldest extant martial arts in Japan, an exemplar of koryū bujutsu. The Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū was founded by Iizasa Ienao, born 1387 in Iizasa village (present day Takomachi, Chiba Prefecture), who was living near Katori Shrine (Sawara City, Chiba Prefecture) at the time. The ryū itself gives 1447 as the year it was founded, but some scholars claim circa 1480 is more historically accurate (Watatani 1967).

Toyama-ryū (戸山流) is a modern form of iai created for the Japanese military perhaps as early as 1925 at the Rikugun Toyama Gakko, or "Toyama Military Academy". Today, Toyama-ryū is primarily located in the Kanto Region. It does not have a single headmaster.

Yagyu Shingan-Ryu is a Japanese martial art founded in Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture), in the early 1600’s by one of Japan’s most famous samurai, Araki Mataemon. Araki was a practitioner of Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu among others. Originally, the style was known as “Araki-do”, which roughly translates as “Sacred Space of Araki”. The name Yagyu Shingan-Ryu was conceived after Yagyu Jubei offered to append the Yagyu Family Name.
