Their old sword arts- (not kendo, but today that's what it is), Iaido (the art of drawing the sword and cutting as fast as possible), and they first made jujitsu- based mostly off attacking the arm at the time because it was their last defense (or offense) on the battlefield, in case they lost their sword (and their enemy still had theirs).

Well, another thing is that samurai were in a way the police. What's some of the most useful arts for the police? Grappling, control, and the like. No surprise they'd focus on a grappling and controlling art - if they need to strike something, they're armed. The locks and such give more options than direct damage. Karate wasn't originally Japanese, and it wasn't a Samurai art - it was from Okinawan peasants. Sumo is Sumo. Maybe there's some connections in there somewhere, I don't know. I suspect Sumo gets shortchanged just because it looks odd, I know there's some featherweight sumo stuff, and it doesn't strictly require mass, and it'd probably be palatable to people if it wasn't for the image of 500 pound guys stomping around in underwear.

The Koryu arts are basically the Samurai Arts. There are many schools of fighting.

Look at this link for some information

http://www.koryubooks.com/guide/ryuguide.html

it is actually very similar to Budo Taijutsu, except BT tends to teach classical techniques against classical attacks and then show how to use the same techniques against modern fighters. Koryu arts tend to be more regemented and traditional.

That's right, they did.

Treebranch is right.

The samurai systems of fighting were 'koryu', literally 'old style'. Each koryu is a system of fighting containing one or more of the following arts: (kenjutsu, iaijutsu, bo/jo/tanjo/hanbojutsu, sojutsu, naginatajutsu, jujutsu, taijujutsu, ninjutsu, kusarigammajutsu, and lots of others).

In recent times kenjutsu has evolved into kendo and jujutsu has evolved into judo.

Karate is something totaly different.
