This word literally translates as "old school" or "old tradition". This term refers to the schools of martial arts that predate the Meiji Restoration. The koryū systems of the Japanese martial arts often contain both unarmed and armed fighting techniques. Within these ancient systems several different weapons are commonly taught to the students of the these arts.

The primary objective of a student of a koryū is to engage in the practice of bujutsu in order to develop the combative mindset of his or her ryū, through which he will come to understanding the effective utilization of a broad range of weapons in mortal combat.
