Guidelines for adding articles to this navbox
This navbox is for navigational purposes only. As such, do not add schools or martial arts for which no article exists, or for which the article is only a
stub. Start-class articles and above only, please.
This navbox is only for listing schools of
Japanese martial arts which are considered koryū. For the purposes of this navbox, a school is koryū if it was founded in
Japanprior to March 28, 1876, the day on which
Emperor Meiji issued the
Haitō edict.[1]
The "Traditional arts practiced" section of the navbox is only for listing Japanese martial arts that were actually practiced prior to the
Meiji period, not their modern descendants. As such,
Iaijutsu is listed, but not
Iaidō; likewise,
Kenjutsu is listed, but not
Kendo.
Add articles alphabetically within each "century". When determining alphabetical order, ignore
macrons, and treat hyphens as if they were spaces.

In the interest of preventing information overload, especially to the casual reader, please discuss here, or on the talk page for the
WikiProject Martial Arts before utilizing the navbox elsewhere.
