Learn skills that made the ninja legendary - our weapons class series will be taught with realistic application for today. You will learn how to adapt the principles of ancient weapons to common attacks in today’s world. Ninja utilized a large variety of tools and weaponry, some of which were commonly known, but others were more specialized. Each of the four Ninja Series Workshops will focus on a particular weapon: Kama, Bokken, Sai, and Tonfa.
This workshop will cover the Bokken Weapon only. The Bokken is a tool. It can either faithfully represent a sword, be used for muscle training or, if it is very light, become an instrument in order to work on precision. Some schools even consider the Bokken as weapon itself and study it as such. This class will focus on the Bokken as a weapon only. While its use has several advantages over use of a live edged weapon, it can still be deadly. Injuries occurring from bokken are very similar to those caused by clubs and similar battering weapons.
