===Kenpō (剣法)=== The kanji for this means "sword law" (not "fist law"). It consists of evasion, slashing, stabbing, blocking and countering. It also includes the use of bō[[shuriken]]. One of the signature movements of Kukishin Ryū Kempō is the upward slashing. The ninth head of the family, [[Yoshitaka Kuki]], participated in the war against Korea under [[Hideyoshi Toyotomi]]. In the marine battle off the shore of Ulusan, the belly-shot Yoshitaka jumped aboard the enemy's ship and slashed upward into the crotch of the admiral with his sword. After this, the technique became well-renowned. The Kenpō also includes the use of 'Token-jutsu', or the method of throwing blades and swords ([[shurikenjutsu]]). While it teaches the use of [[shuriken|bōshuriken]], it is also considered an alternative method of using a dagger and long sword.<ref name="shinjin.co kenpo">{{cite web |last = Organization for Preserving Kuki Shinden |title = Kukishin Ryu Kenpo |work = The list of techniques, part 3 |publisher = www.shinjin.co.jp |year = 2007 |url = http://www.shinjin.co.jp/kuki/hyoho/catalog3_e.htm |access-date = 2007-09-25 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110720000150/http://www.shinjin.co.jp/kuki/hyoho/catalog3_e.htm |archive-date = 2011-07-20 }}</ref>
