This book offers a detailed exploration of Bojutsu, the traditional Japanese martial art of staff techniques. In this comprehensive guide, you'll explore the techniques of the Rokushaku-Bo (long staff), Hanbo (half-staff), and Jo (walking staff/cane) as practised within the Bujinkan.
The Bujinkan, founded by Masaaki Hatsumi, is an international martial arts organisation that preserves nine ancient schools (Ryuha) of Japanese martial arts, each with its own unique techniques and philosophies. These schools passed down through generations, encompass a wide range of martial disciplines, including unarmed combat, swordsmanship, and various weapon arts. Among these, Bojutsu-the art of using the Bo (staff)-is a core component, offering practical techniques for self-defence and combat.
Structured into three sections, each focusing on a different form of the staff, this book offers a thorough introduction to the basic techniques and Kata (forms) of Bojutsu. While it is not intended as a teach yourself guide, it provides a valuable reference for students of Japanese martial arts to understand the foundational principles of Bojutsu. The author draws on extensive research, including original Japanese documents and the teachings of senior Bujinkan instructors, to present a clear and accessible guide.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced martial artist, this book will deepen your understanding of Bojutsu and its place within the broader context of the Bujinkan. It also offers insights into the rich history and philosophy of Japanese martial arts, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the practical and cultural aspects of these ancient traditions.
