Kasarifundo and Hojojutsu Training

Kasarifundo (weighted chain) and Hojojustu (Rope tying) are the themes for Aprils Flexible Weapons Training Classes at the Dojo.

Kasarifundo - We started with techniques such as how to catch weapon safely, then simple striking drills and worked our way up to basic Locks, Controls and Chokes with the Kasarifundo. By the end of this month all of our students have really improved, well done.

Hojojutsu - Everyone loves the Hojojutsu training, there's something about tying another person up that seems to appeal to people. We covered basic hancuffs, loops and wrist restraints then moved onto basic and intermediate tying techniques before finishing the month with capturing kicks and punches with the rope and creating a technique from that point onward.

Next month is Jo 4 foot staff and Shinden Fudo Ryu.
