Ittō Shōden Mujō-ryū

Ittō Shōden Mujō-ryū is a modified style of Ittō Shōden Mutō-ryū. By following the principles Kiritsu's father taught him, the style follows the same method as if using a sword. Only in this case, a staff based weapon is implemented instead. This style is far more difficult to utilize, is there is much more length the user must worry about. And in the case of bladed staves like scythes, spears or halberds, it can be dangerous to an inexperienced user. If used correctly, Ittō Shōden Mujō-ryū can be a powerful fighting style. Since staves have more balance in their weight than a sword does, an expert's movements can be more fluid, more clean. Heavier staves like scythes and halberds generate momentum at the top, giving them far greater damage than if swung under normal means.
