Daito Ryu
“Here is a brief summary of Master Sokaku Takeda and Daito Ryu. Daito Ryu Jujutsu is a family martial tradition of the Takeda clan. The founder was Shinra Saburo no Yoshimitsu from the Seiwa Genji line (a major branch of the Minamoto clan). The name of the system is said to have been taken from the "Daito Mansion" in Shiga where training used to take place. The tradition was handed down in the Kai Takeda family and when Lord Takeda Tosa Kunitsugu was apointed to be Lord of "Aizu Han", it was he who brought it to Aizu. There it had been handed down as the secret techniques of that domain until the end of the feudal period in the 1860's. Sokaku had been outstanding in martial arts as a youth and was called a genius with the sword. One story relates that as a young man Takeda killed many challengers, and he would boast of this to Ueshiba. It seems though that after a while he changed and layed aside the sword and became absorbed in the Daito Ryu Jujutsu tradition. In 1898 he received a master's license in the secret techniques of the domain. This is how Takeda Sokaku became a transmitter (in Japanese literally a "middle founder") of the Daito tradition. After that he traveled to various places teaching and spreading Daito Ryu and eventually made his way to Hokkaido.”

Hakkoryu
INTRODUCTION FROM THE FOUNDER Shodai Soke Okuyama Ryuho (1901-1987)
"The techniques of Hakkoryu are nothing but the pure self-protection instinct that prepares your spirit to face urgent matters of life and death. That is, when one encounters violence, it can be said that Hakkoryu provides natural, simple, and practical methods that enable one to calmly face imminent peril and move on without hesitation to capture and punish assailants reasonably and easily in an instant.” Hakkoryu.com - “family” US Site

Itto Ryu and it’s Offspring
Itto-ryu takes its name from Ito Ittosai Kagehisa (1560-1653) the teacher of Ono Jiroemen Tadaaki (1565-1628) . The Ono family served as kenjutsu instructors for the Tokugawa government. It is the style of swordsmanship that is incorporated into the Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu curriculum.
Here are some of the offshoots of Itto Ryu:
