The translation presented here is for enjoyment only. I enjoyed the content so much that I posted my amateur translation here on my site. This ryuha has some unusual (by our standards) technique names and I wasn't sure how to render some of them, if I made any mistakes – I deeply apologize but it is only an amateur translation.

渋川一流柔術の形は、素手と素手、素手と剣術など徒手空拳で自己の身を守る術技と棒術(短棒・三尺棒・六尺棒)、十手、分童、鎖鎌、居合などの武器を用いて身を守る術技から成り立っています。



The Kata Forms of Shibukawa ichi ryu (reluctant river first-class school) jujutsu consists of technique which protects oneself and body using weapons, and such as Hand to hand combat [Sude (素手) “Empty hands”], unarmed against the sword art having nothing to start with, Bojutsu staff art and various technique (tanbō short stick, Sanshakubō 3 foot staff, and Rokushakubō 6 foot staff), Jutte truncheon and Fundō chain weapon, a Kusarigama chained sickle, and Iai fast draw art.

 

また、形は相手の仕掛けの方法によってグループ分けされており、初めに習う履形の三十五本の形が全ての形の基本となっています。



Moreover, the group division of the Forms are carried out by the method of setting up with a partner in group, to begin with 35 forms of Kutsugata “Shodding Forms” are learned first being the Kihon foundations of all the forms.



形は飾り気がなく、素朴で単純な動きで相手を制するようにくみたてられています。

Forms are not shown off [or can also mean: “not carried out fully”] , simplicity and simple motion so that the partner/opponent may be controlled.

 

形の稽古のほかに、鍛錬方として棒抜けや枕引きなども伝えられており、柔道の乱取りに相当する意治(地)稽古も伝えられています。



Besides Formal Patterns [ Kata no keikō, Alt form of “Kata geiko”], staff drawing, pillow draw out [name of a technique or method] and etc are taught as a method of training, and the (ground) exercises equivalent to the Free form exercises [Randori] of Judo is also taught.
