Mission!: Takagi Yoshin Ryu

Takagi Yoshin Ryu is a very powerful system focused on joint manipulations and prevention of escape from techniques by other martial artists. 

Mission; Locate, research, and redistribute information based on the art of Takagi Yoshin Ryu here for discussion so that we may confirm or deny information, and learn as much as possible. You can find things such as what weapons did they utilize, philosophies, it's origins, just stay open minded and begin looking.

Things to keep in mind;

1) Don't be afraid if you may have something wrong, something is better than nothing and we will do our best to confirm or discuss it so we may grow and learn from it. You also learn more when you do something wrong than if you do it right.

2) Don't just copy and paste, write it in your own words so that yo have the opportunity to digest what you read and so that the information is passed in a manner that we may relate to. You can still source and such, just use it as an opportunity to learn.

3) Have fun and don't stress out about it. The Field of Kusa is a place to grow and prosper with information. You can just begin typing, you're bound to get better at it as you begin exchanging information with people who are already good at it. Just try. 

1st Mission!: Kusarigama （くさりがま）

The mission is as follows, I would like everyone to do a tad bit of research and tell some facts about the history and use of the weapon known as the Kusarigama. This should be interesting for the 1st Mission. I will also go on my own search and add some extra information here and there to get you guys sparked to add on. So, Gambate desu! (Do your best!)

The Field of Kusa

The reason that this name has been chosen for this blog is because the term Kusa （くさ） is a term that was once applied to those that are commonly referred to today as Shinobi a.k.a. NInja, which one who gathers information. The term means grass, and implied that someone was hiding in the grass and has been trained since a young age to be in a place when needed. With this being said I want this to grow into a field of Kusa so that we can all gather our information together and allow each other to learn and grow.

Please by all means Comment, Comment, Comment! This is how the Kusa shall grow.
