Classes are focused on the material for specific Kyu Ranks. Students review basic skills and also techniques and applications related to their rank. Classes will also focus on developing skills in the use of the Bo (six foot staff) and a variety of Japanese sword forms. Other weapons that may be explored include the Jo, Hanbo, Tanto and Kusari Fundo. Finally, every year a theme for the year is selected by Dr. Hatsumi. This may be material from one of the schools of the Bujinkan, a particular weapon or a set of concepts. We also will focus on that material. |
