Sojutsu (Spearmanship) (Practitioners: Less than 1,000) The spear was the main weapon used in battle in Japan until guns became common in the latter part of the period of civil strife. The spear is used in thrusts, strikes and side sweeps. Like kenjutsu, spearmanship was an art that samurai were expected to learn. Sojutsu still exists in such styles as Hozoin-ryu, Saburi-ryu, Kashimashin-ryu and Katorishindo-ryu. The type of spear depends on the school - that of the Kashimashin-ryu is an imitation spear made of white oak about 225 cm long, with a cloth tip. web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia10/sp04.html |

He, like Shinpachi, joined Kondou's dojo for the free food as much as for the fighting. He was the tallest of the Shinsengumi and was more skilled with a spear than with a katana. The character Sagara Sanosuke from Rurouni Kenshin was said to have been based on Harada, and indeed in RK art of the Shinsengumi, was depicted as being, essentially, Sagara Sanosuke in Shinsengumi garb." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harada_SanosukeHow much of this is anime BS? |

Kukishin Ryu is a Samurai school of Jujutsu, Yoroi Kumiuchi (Grappling in Samurai armour), Kenjutsu, Bojutsu, Sojutsu, Naginata, Juttejutsu, Bo-ryaku (Strategy), and Sui Ren in Ka Ren (Use of water and fire), Bajutsu. The Kukishin Samurai were naval warriors, the techniques were designed to be used on a slippery, rocking boat. One training method that is sometimes used today, is to practice on frozen surfaces or ball bearings. The school was founded in the 12th century by Izumo Koshiro Terunobu. www.japan-101.com/culture/kukishin_ryu.htm Before the history of the Kukishinden Ryu can be discussed, the history of its parent school, the Kukishin Ryu must first be examined. Without first looking at the Kukishin Ryu the history of Kukishinden Ryu would be largely incomplete. The techniques in the Kukishin Ryu are said to come from China, and the lands beyond China and it has a history whose origins stretch back as far as the Kamakura era (1180's). The Kukishin Ryu was developed in Kumano province and there is still a document, the Amatsu Tatarahibun, preserved in a temple there which relates to it. The Bugei Ryuha Daijiten, the official record of martial schools and their founders, lists Yasushimaru as the founder of the Kukishin Ryu. During the life of the school it was employed by Japanese seamen to help protect them against pirates. This greatly influenced the school's techniques and weapons. Warriors of the Kukishin Ryu are said to have used the masts and rigging during combat. The school uses many heavy bladed weapons that are rarely, if ever, used by other martial arts schools. The kusarigama was developed from the kaginawa (hook and rope), a weapon used by a pirate called Kuroda Saneyuki, who was originally from Kishu. www.ninjutsu.com/Kukishinden%20RyuNL.shtml |

The 4th master OKUNI Kihei Shigenobu originally was a master of Tendo Ryu Naginata Jutsu. One day he went to pay respect to his Uji-gami, the ancestor's spirit, and saw the vision of nine Oni (Japanese ogre) attacking him and breaking blade of his Naginata. He was able to attack back with the handle portion of his naginata until he chased off the nine oni. From this spiritual vision, he developed the technique of bojutsu and called it Kukishin Ryu Bojutsu. The meaning of kuki is 'nine ogres'. When Kihei competed with Takagi Gennoshin, he realized Takagi's skill was as strong and technically proficient as his. Later Kihei was asked by Gennoshin to be the forth successor of Hontai Yoshin Ryu Takagi Ryu, which he accepted with honor. After this, Hontai Yoshin Ryu Takagi Ryu was taught along with the skills of Kukishin Ryu Bojutsu. www.hontaiyoshinryu.com/ -> history At the heart of the Hontai Yoshin Ryu are its teachings of jujutsu, bojutsu (six-foot staff art),and kodachijutsu (short sword art).In addition, the curriculum includes iaido (way of drawing and cutting),hanbojutsu (three-foot staff art),tantodori (knife taking),tachidori (sword taking),and kumitachi (sword combat).At some levels the school also offers instruction in Yamaguchi-ha Toyama Ryu Iaido, shimewaza (strangling techniques),toritsuke (binding techniques),newaza (mat techniques),and sojutsu (spear art). www.hyrusa.com/index2.html |

Yoshida Ha Shidare Yanagi Ryuwww.budovideos.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=22905&cat=364&page=1DVD Chapters: -Beginning -Training drills -Blocking -Basic techniques (20) -Reviewing techniques
The video is a clean presentation of some basic drills and moderately complex techniques with a te-yari 7 feet in length. Opposing weapons include katana, naginata, and two swords. Ignore the idiotic introduction. The drills include "three level thrusts" and hand transfers. Parry drills include small circle parries and large circular sweeps (called cloud parries in my Chinese book and referred to here as 'clearing techniques') Butt strikes. Eight direction center thrust. - Vertical Standing block
- Grasping Heaven block
- Side sways
- Crane stance.
- Forward fan block
- Yadame Arrow stopping block
- Rowing block.
- Circular parry
- Traveling clearing block.
- Snake block (into the box).
- Pull down block
- Cross press block
- Simple sway block
- Rising horizontal block
More on Angier and Yoshida Ha Shidare Yanagi Ryu: ejmas.com/jcs/jcsart_angier_0501.htm
My overall impression of the Yoshida Ha Shidare Yanagi Ryu sojutsu is that it is a form of aiki-jutsu. Many techniques emphasize various joint locking or balance-taking techniques that have to be trained by highly cooperative partners. To my eyes, some of the techniques appear overly staged. There are many attacks against the legs - sweeps and thrusts. Execution of technique is clearly controlled, precise, and repeatable. The techniques seem more mobile than others that I have seen in limited demos, such as Katori and Kashima ryu. If the spear were divided into three parts, head, body, tail, blocks are made with all three. Interesting DVD

From the advertisment ... This awesome video features one of North America's most respected and skilled modern-day Ninja masters. Mr. Kevin Millis takes you on a high energy roller coaster ride in this instructional video. Offering his blend of speed, precision and style. He demonstrates and executes each technique with grace and form in a way that visually teaches the true effectiveness of the Yari as a defensive and offensive weapon. He enhances Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi's teachings of the historically significant martial art system of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.
The Yari (Japanese Spear) is used to teach Sojutsu (the art of spear wielding). It is demonstrated in its true form with techniques relegated to the battlefield during anciant wartime conflicts.
This video was shot on location in 1994 at Mr. Millis' dojo in Irvine California.
Kevin Millis makes it apparent to the viewer why Dr. Massaki Hatsumi calls him a "Dragonfly". His movement is so quick and precise that it almost appears impossible and most certainly effortless. This video has so much great stuff to be passed over.budosupply.com/video/millis/kevinmillis.htmlbudosupply.com/video/millis/ds1003.html
Quicktime preview www.budosupply.com/quicktime/ds1003_med.mov
If the Yoshida Ha Shidare Yanagi Ryu was a form of spear within an aiki-jutsu system that was precise and methodical, Keven Millis presents the exact opposite. Millis takes a loose, improvisational approach to sojutsu. The spear often is used one handed, even thrown away as Millis makes the point that the weapon is just an extension of the school's taijustu. The take-away lesson in this DVD is to make sure you play with your spear - extend, turn, block, butt, thrust, in a flowing movement. But for most everyone wanting to learn something tangible, skip this DVD. |

 From the advertisement ... Kashima Shinryu - Sojutsu, Jojutsu, and Shurikenjutsu By Shihanke Seki Humitake This is the 60-minute videotape of Sojutsu, Jojutsu, and Shurikenjutsu demonstration of Kashima Shinryu by Shihanke Seki Humitake and students. This series also include many footage of the previous Soke, Kunii Zenya filmed in 1950s-1960s, practicing and performing many of Kashima Shinryu techniques in realistic speed. This video provides clear demonstration of Kashima Shinryu spear, short staff, and throwing blade techniques and kata performed by Seki Humitake and his students. Along with Katori Shinto Ryu, Kashima Shinryu is one of the oldest ryuha in Japan that is known to have been the root of other Japanese ancient ryuha such as Bokuden-ryu, Shinkage-ryu, Jikishinkage-ryu. Kashima Shinryu is a Sogo Bujutsu or comprehensive system of combat including unarmed, swordsmanship, spearsmanship, staff fighting, knife or short sword fighting, etc. This 3 weapons tape is part of the total of 11 series of Kashima Shinryu video documentation that covers Battojutsu, Kenjutsu, Jujutsu, Bojutsu, Jojutsu, Sojutsu, Naginatajutsu, and Shurikenjutsu. This video includes: - Overview and history of Kashima Shinryu - Short interview with Shinhanke Seki Fumitake - Many footage of the late Soke, Kunii Zenya - Demonstration, variations, and explanation of the Kashima Shinryu techniques using spear, short staff, and throwing blade.

Every technique is demonstrated a few times with a thorough examination by the Shihanke including some variations from both uke and tachi sides. You should be able to get a good grasp of the essence of every kata and technique performed, especially if you have been training with Japanese swordsmanship or stick fighting of any style. Here's your chance to see the RARE and secret presentation of Kashima Shinryu techniques shown to the public in nearly complete curriculum in 11 tapes.
