糸東流は，極力無駄を廃した動きに徹する。武道では，攻防における一切の無駄な動きは致命的であるため，最小の動きと最小の力で最大の効果を求める。この理に沿って，糸東流では技をかける際，効果を発揮する最短距離と最小動作を是とする。そのため，一般に糸東流は「地味」だとしばしば言われるが，「地味」こそ武道の本質であり，「派手」な武道など武道ではない。武道にとって「地味」は最大級の賛辞である。
In shito-ryu, we thoroughly attempt to move with as less waste as we can. Budo requires the most effects by the least moves and power, because any useless move in a fight is fatal. According to the reason, the shortest stroke and the least movement with the maximum effects is right in shito-ryu, when we do blocking, grappling, punching, kicking, and so on. For this reason, shito-ryu is generally said to be "simple," but "simple" is the essence of budo, and "fancy" budo is by no means budo. "Simple" is the highest compliment for budo.
