In the yard of the Homby Dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia, in accordance with every safety principle applicable, this past Saturday a seminar was held dedicated to the art of shooting a samurai rifle, during which were taught the positions used by the Samurai of the school of Geki ryu Hojutsu when firing this kind of gun.
This seminar is crucial for the keeping and continuing the traditions connected with the art of shooting a Tanegashima (a musket type gun), which was really popular in the Land of the Rising sun during the 17th century.
That is exactly why, the students of Bujinkan Macedonia regularly hold this event, during which the participants learn the shooting positions that were used by the warriors of Japan once upon a time. Besides the body positions, correct breathing also plays a significant role, but also the calm needed to correctly perform every technique.
