Since many schools of bojutsu have common names for techniques such as "goho" (literally, five methods, five directions, etc.), "sashiai" (literally, doing together, obstacle), "kasanoshita" (literally, under an umbrella), "gorinkudaki" (literally, crushing five wheels), and "mizuhiki" (decorative Japanese cord made from twisted paper), it seems that there has been some relationship among the schools.
多くの棒術流派で『ゴホウ(五法、五方、御方)』『サシアイ(指合、差合)』『カサノシタ(笠の下)』『（ゴリンクダキ）五輪砕』『（ミズヒキ）水引』等の技法名が共通している存在する事から、流派間に何らかの関連があると考えられている。
