, or , is a Japanese martial art founded in the mid-17th century, notable for its kenjutsu, iaijutsu, and jujutsu, including the art of kyusho-jutsu.
==History== The founder of Sekiguchi-ryū was Sekiguchi Yarokuemon Ujimune, also known as Sekiguchi Jushin. Jushin was part of the Seiwa Genji Imagawa clan of the Sengoku period. When the once powerful Imagawa clan fell to the conquests of Oda Nobunaga, Jushin decided to dedicate his life to martial arts training. He left the castle for the Atago Mountains where he underwent intense physical and spiritual training. The result of that training became known as Sekiguchi Shin Shin-ryū, and rumors of the wanderer and of his art rang throughout the country.
