In 1558, at the end of the Ming
dynasty, the Chinese Ch'en Yuan Yun came over to Japan
and instructed Fukuno Masakatsu, Miura Yoshitatsu and Isokai Jirozaemon in
Kakuteijitsu,
Kinshoho and fighting with the arms (similar to jujitsu).
Fukuno
developed Shintoryu Wajitsu
and his pupil Ibaragi Mataemon founded Kitoyu.
