Related Practices
There are so many different lineages of traditional martial arts — I only list ones I am directly familiar with below that are related to surviving lines of Shinkage-ryū.
☷ The Hōbyōkan founded by Dr. David Hall in Rockville, MD maintains a practice of Shindō Muso-ryū jo, Yagyū Shinkage-ryū heihō, and Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryū kenjutsu. This is where I studied Jiki Shinkage-ryū before moving to Seattle in 2016.
