Come learn the basics of the Japanese halberd, the naginata. Originally developed as a cavalry weapon against foot soldiers, later becoming popular as a woman's home defense weapon. In the battlefield it was the bow, spear and pole-arm weapon`s like the naginata that reigns supreme not the sword that was usually a backup weapon. The naginata allows for superior strong cuts and reach but also demands skill to control. The practice will be done in pairs using soft training weapons. We will practice some techniques from Kukishinden ryu as taught in the Bujinkan Dojo. The teacher is Erick Ellison 15 dan. More information: Bujin.fi
