Yamanni-ryu Bojutsu (Yamanni Chinen-ryu), a traditional Okinawan weapon style passed down by the Chinen family in Naha, is renowned for its fluid, rapid 6-foot Bo staff mechanics. Its 5-license hierarchy (Shoden to Menkyo Kaiden) evaluates dynamic staff spinning, fluid recoil strikes, and ancestral kata (Sakugawa no Kun, Ryubi no Kun).
