Kukishinden Ryū: Bojutsu
Delve into a classical Japanese weapon
Kukishinden Ryu or "Nine Demon Divine School", boasts a diverse weapon repertoire including staff fighting (bojutsu), grappling (taijutsu), and swordsmanship (kenpo).
This art is particularly known for its unique bojutsu, characterized by:
- Deception: The staff becomes an extension of the user's will, employing swift strikes and redirects to outmaneuver opponents.
- Whirlwind Techniques: "Bofurigata" utilizes twirling motions to disorient and control the opponent's movements.
- Staff Throws: Thrusting techniques seamlessly transition into throwing the staff as a projectile for a surprising attack.
Let's delve deeper into the core technique of Kukishinden Ryu bojutsu: Goho.
In the video below, internationally renowned security expert Alex Esteve demonstrates Goho. Esteve boasts an impressive background including:
