Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu is comprised of
- Tachi Seiho (long sword vs long sword)
- Kodachi Seiho (short sword vs long sword)
- Nito Seiho (long and short swords vs long sword)
- Bo (6 foot staff vs long sword)
- Jutte (iron truncheon)

Niten Ichi Ryu techniques are economical, with no flashy or exaggerated movement and precise targeting. Distancing and timing of attack is exceptionally tight and without wasted motion.
