Old literature and KATA (form) connote martial arts original appearance

Effective and devastating martial art methods such as breaking and dislocating joints are mentioned in old manuscript or by oral instruction. However, since many of these skills has been forbidden becoming  SHITSUDEN or lost art, it became almost unimaginable from the modern concept that these essence and mysteries of the art has become an illusion.

In reverse, techniques conformity to old Kata and philosophy also affirms the legitimacy of these techniques.
