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.

The participants in this Saturday’s Hombu seminar quickly understood the meaning of the words by the teacher Igor Dovezenski, which he expressed before the start of the event, that Taihenjutsu is one of the hardest physical challenges for any serious practitioner of Ninjutsu. And indeed, the very next morning, the pain that flooded the muscles of all the students proved it to them. 

During the seminar all the Taihenjutsu techniques from the school of Togakure ryu Ninjutsu were practiced, and so the four hours of the seminar passed by very quickly. But the key achievement was that all of the participants made a small step towards perfecting these key Ninjutsu skills.
