That's weird. I once trained with a Shukukai club called 'Samurai Karate'. Strange eh?

Not to belabor the point but I trained at a quote "Samurai-training" school which taught budoshin jujitsu, and ofcourse iaido but interestingly enough also taught wing chun and escrime

One who excels as a warrior does not appear formidable; One who excels at fighting is never aroused in anger; One who excels in defeating his enemy, does not join issues; One who excels in the employing of others humbles himself before them. This is the virtue of non-contention which matches the sublimity of heaven.

They actually did sometiems learn short stick techniques (today known as escrima/kali/arnis) sometimes but they also learned kenjutsu/kendo, iaido and jujutsu as well as the very first martial art (according to most texts) which was an archery martial art called Kyudo. They would even learn to time their shotts so that they would shoot the arrow at the exact moment when the horses feet where off the ground. Kyudo focuses more on technique rather than where the arrow lands (but usually the arrow lands right where you want it). It is also practiced sometiems in zen as well as sword techniques.

Oh they also learned the art of the naginata, which the name is sometiems just called naginata.
