  • Koyama Noriko Sensei and his students demonstrating Yoshin-ryu Naginata-jutsu during the 42nd Nihon Kobudo Embutaikai held at the Nippon Budokan on February 3rd, 2019. The event also commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Nihon Kobudo Kyokai.
    Yoshin-ryu was developed in the early Tokugawa period (c. 1660) by Akiyama Shirobei Yoshitoki. Yoshin-ryū Naginata-jutsu stemmed from Yoshin-ryū and specializes in techniques of Naginata, the Japanese halberd. In addition to the Naginata techniques, the school also teaches with the spear (Sojutsu), the short stick (Hanbo) and the chain sickle (Kusarigama).

      I know this is purely exhibition but in a situation like that I feel like that would not have worked. The only thing I can think of is that throwing the weapon could somewhat disorient the person or throw off their timing. Maybe if there was a sort of feint or aikido type move to transition

    A newbie's tip
    : Fighting a polearm weapons, you need to space yourself "Not" in the blade zone. Shaft/handle/pole itself is a fine way to protect both you and enemy. If you stop your enemy by grabbing the pole, they're as good as dead

    • @Catsincages
      @Catsincages 2 года назад +15

      I think that perhaps it you that is the 'newbie' with regard to Ko-ryu/ naginata-jutsu as there are several techniques across most traditions where you let go of the shaft with one hand and kill the opponent with your kodachi or their own. Also as these are essentially 'samurai traditions' dying in the act of killing ones opponent can be perfectly acceptable, if not ideal.

    • @samuraijackoff5354
      @samuraijackoff5354 10 месяцев назад +1

      The techniques of getting close was used during the era where people wore armor to war. They still practice it but it's not meant for unarmored combat. You can check out "Samurai armor battle" on youtube to get an example. You grab the spear and then try to grapple him to take him down, hold him there and then stab into a gap with a smaller blade. They found this trouble first during the mongol invasion and as armor became more body fitting they had to learn grappling.

    Medieval Japan had a society similar to ancient Spartans. All the men would go to war or reside in the capital with their lord's clan for large parts of the year. The women stayed home and pretty much had to rely on each other to run the villages, and defend them if need be. So many Japanese women would have very practical martial arts skills up until probably the 1800s.

    5:30 why would you throw the weapon at him? shouldn't having a longer weapon and keeping distance give you an advantage in the first place?

    • @writingref

      To demonstrate the principle. The sword is the deadlier weapon. If it cuts behind the metal portion of the Naginata, then the business end of the Naginata can be severed. (though not likely if the naginata user knows what shes doing) Still, in battle things happen. The principle here of the kata is that her weapon is severed or broken, so she uses it to take the initiative and use his own weapon.
      Now . .. she makes a lot of mistakes, which makes this confusing. When she gets the initiative, she should also take his balance if shes going to close distance after throwing her weapon. Instead, she just kind of goes directly for the short sword, when she should be taking control of his center of gravity first touch. He totally could have cut her head the way she does it.
      You could still demonstrate the principle without throwing the naginata, by lunging and letting the weapon slide in your hand, so throwing it is a bit flashy I agree. I guess the idea here is he is staying outside of the range of the spear or severed spear, and she goes on the offensive, rather than waiting for him to make another cut, and since she no longer has a blade, but desires one, she is going for his.

      Ah, as usual, internet armchair experts in full force. This is a DEMONSTRATION. They aren't attacking or defending "for real", they are executing already existing kata (or making their own, but I think that is unlikely). So yes, even the more """"unrealistic""""" things such as throwing your weapon, jumping, spinning are part of the routine. As to why a kata where you throw your weapon exists, well, you'd have to ask the sensei who decided to write it down. From my own (very inexpert) point of view, its point is to teach adaptability in combat- in the scenario presented, the naginata user is at a disadvantage as all their attacks are blocked, possibly by a superior opponent. By throwing the weapon you achieve surprise and by using their own weapon to kill them you utilise your environment. But I could, of course, be mistaken about that.
      For the record though, cutting through the haft of a polearm with a sword while you're under attack? A lot harder than you seem to believe.

      Now, can you imagine if the lady throw the real naginata sharp edge straight to the man's neck when he is in open stance like that? He's dead already. This is another usage, although not recommended for all situation.
