Katori Shinto Ryû initiations
Let's try kobudô with the representatives of one of the oldest Japanese martial schools: Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryû, and discover a martial art that finds its roots in the land of the rising sun traditions.
Katori Shinto Ryû
Kobudô – or ancient martial art – refers to weapon training in traditional Japanese schools. On its side, the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryû weapon school that teaches this discipline was created in the 15th century in Japan, and focuses in weapons handling – sabre, long staff and naginata, a curve blade sword. As an ancient Japanese weapon school, it has been consecrated as an important intangible heritage by the Japanese Ministry of Culture.
Kobudô awakes and sharpens the defence responses with weapons or bare-handed. This discipline, Master Alain FLOQUET improved it through his trainings in this historical school, and thanks to his Master Yushio SUGINO valuable tips.
