This past Saturday at the Hombu of the Organisation “Taiyou e no Michi ” a seminar about the Naginata, a classical Japanese weapon from the school of Kukishin ryu, was held.
The school, whose creator is Jakushimaru Kurando Takanao, is known for its rigid fighting techniques, and considering the size of the Naginata, the effects of the exertion this demanded was evident in the difficulties that the students had in following the instructions of the teacher Dovezenski.
During the event, all of the fighting stances (kamae) and all of the katas from this school were thoroughly drilled.
