Shindenfudo Ryu, Roto (Overthrow the Wolf)

A demonstration of Roto (Otherthrow the Wolf) from Shindenfudo Ryu Dakentaijutsu. Performed by Dai Shihan Mark Roemke and Kyle Connally. Fighting Form Notes: *Investigate hidden striking within the form. *Let your striking energy occupy Uke's mind while you do the hand swith for the Ura Gyaku. *Bring Uke down at their 3rd point or on a Shiodori line. *Swoop down with your entire body. Shindenfudo Ryu is one of the oldest styles of Jujutsu. It focuses on working with one's natural surroundings, and as such most training takes place outside using natural objects as training aids. The school puts emphasis on fighting from any posture one finds themselves in at the time a fight begins, rather than needing to prepare by getting into a stance first. As an extension of this principle, the school has no formal stance (kamae); all techniques start from a natural, loose, standing posture.
