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:

 

  • First Spaniard with instructor-level certification in firearms and tactics from the US Department of Justice and FBI.
  • Highest rank (Dai Shihan, 15th Dan) in Bujinkan Dojo, a renowned multi-disciplinary martial arts system.
  • Over 38 years of experience in various martial arts.

 

Esteve's expertise makes him an ideal guide to witness the power and finesse of Goho.

By studying Goho and Kukishinden Ryu bojutsu, you'll gain valuable insights into staff fighting strategies that emphasize deception, control, and adaptability.
