Kenjutsu and Bojutsu (jo) Two-day weapons seminar with Toby Threadgill, Menkyo Kaiden Saturday July 21st & Sunday July 22nd, 2012 Experience Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin ryu kenjutsu history, etiquette, basics, postures, and paired practices taught by the leading authority on the art. And, for the first time in a public seminar, Threadgill sensei will share the basics of Takagi Hachi Ho ryu bojutsu, a fuzoku ryuha (assimilated school) taught in tandem with Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin ryu. Takagi Hachi Ho ryu 高木八方流 This bojutsu school, founded by Takagi Isoga, is a gendai budo derived from the personal teachings of TSYR shihan, Namishiro Matsuhiro who had studied Yoshin Koryu, Shinto Muso ryu, and Matsuzaki Shinkage ryu, in addition to Shindo Yoshin ryu. A unique feature of Takagi Hachi Ho ryu bojutsu, (Takagi school of 8 directions staff arts) is the use of a 5ft jo staff, which a bit longer than those typically used by other ryuha. The arts curriculum is comprised of 32 kata separated into 8 sections represented by the 4 cardinal and 4 ordinal directions. These eight sections cover three subjects: staff vs sword, staff vs staff, and empty-hand vs staff. Takamura ha Shindo Yoshin ryu 高村派新道楊心流 Historically, in addition to the Akiyama Yoshin ryu line via Tenjin Shinyo ryu, and the Nakamura Yoshin Koryu line via Totsuka ha Yoshin Koryu, Shindo Yoshin ryu's mainline included teachings from the kenjutsu schools Jikishinkage ryu and Hokushin Itto ryu. The Takamura ryuha includes further influence from Matsuzaki Shinkage ryu via Namishiro Matsuhiro. The kenjutsu curriculum through Shoden and Chuden levels is comprised of 10 Batto (sword drawing), with omote and ura variations, and 30 kumitachi (paired sword vs sword kata), with additional kata for both taught at Joden level. The kumitachi are separated into groupings of five based on the elements and seasons. Additionally, there are kata for short sword, weapons retention, tanto, and while wearing armor. Attendees are asked to bring a bokken (wooden sword) with a tsuba (hand guard) and a 5 ft jo (wooden staff). A limited number of practice weapons will be available for use at the seminar.
