My Bujinkan Bōjutsu video of the 九字の形 Kuji No Kata, 第五法 Dai Gohō. These kata are found in a 九鬼神流 Kukishin Ryū 棒術 bōjutsu book by 木葉幸四郎 Kiba Kōshirō published in 1937. Kiba Kōshirō was a student of Takamatsu Sensei.
my Bujinkan video of the kata 夢落 yume otoshi. I began quickly with the form since it is similar to other 九鬼神流 Kukishin Ryū kata that we have studied. But, to drop the opponent into a dream state as the name suggests, we strike 夕霞 yūgasumi and drop him with 大外掛け ōsotogake.
My Bujinkan video exploring 浮舟の構 Uki bune no kamae. The appearance of this kamae is virtually identical to 一之構 ichi no kamae but with a different emphasis. Instead of shielding, the kamae has an adaptive, floating quality.

my Bujinkan video exploring Togakure Ryū Kihon with 一之構 Ichi No Kamae. We warmed up with ukemi and the 秘伝型 Hiden Gata of 中返りChū Gaeri. We did this as a progression, starting with various pushes, then graduating to an attack from your blind angle.
my Bujinkan Kuden covering 位取り Kurai Dori. I also share five levels of seigan no kamae. And I have a surprise book review.
Now I began class with a kamae I am sure 95 percent of the Bujinkan does not know or has not studied. It is 陣中の平の構 jinchu no hira no kamae. This kamae is wonderful for the study of this year's themes of muto dori and tsurugi.
I visited Québec for a Bujinkan Seminar. In this first video I cover some basics of kamae and kyojitsu.
We warmed up with 蹴リ拳け゚ keriage. It is important to note that the version shown on Hatsumi Sensei’s 六尺棒術 rokushakubō jutsu video is missing some detail. Hatsumi Sensei made this clear to us when he told us this video was incomplete. The transitions for each strike will change on each side. And they can alternate...
