On Monday 8th November 2021 - Bujinkan King Dōjō (武神館 キング 道場) training was once again at our temporary location at the King Clinic in Epsom. 

We began  training  in Kukishin-ryū Dakentaijutsu (九鬼神流打拳体術) - Gohō no Kamae  (五法之構 – five postures):

• Hira no Kamae – 平之構 (flat / regular posture)
• Hira Ichimonji no Kamae 平一文字之構  - (flat / regular, figure one posture)
• Seigan no Kamae  (青眼之構 – blue eyes / clear sight posture)
• Katate Hichō no Kamae (片手飛鳥之構– single hand flying bird posture)
• Kōsei no Kamae (攻勢之構 - offensive / aggressive posture)

and applications of those postures, as taught by Hatsumi Sensei in the 1980s.

Then we practiced the following techniques from the Kukishin-ryū Dakentaijutsu (九鬼神流打拳体術) - Shoden Gata (初伝型 – initial transmission forms):

•   Seion (生音 - life sound)
•   Uyoku (烏翼– (crow’s wing)
•   Suiyoku  (水翼 – water wing)

examining the entirety and small points of the waza.

Good work and my thanks to everyone who attended.

Next week we should be back at our normal venue:
