Essentially, Tenjin Shin'yō-ryū is the amalgamation of two separate systems of jūjutsu: the Yōshin-ryū and Shin no Shintō-ryū. The distinctive feature of this particular school is the use of atemi or strikes to disrupt the balance of the opponent as well as a more flexible and flowing movement of the body than seen in some older schools of jūjutsu.
