Sōjutsu
That martial art means art of the spear; it means you'll have to fight with a spear. The spear (Yari) was a well known weapon throughout the feudal period of Japan, it was being cheap to produce and required less training than other battlefield weapons and contributing itself to close development of ashigaru troops. Sōjutsu became popular immediately after the Mongol Invasion in the thirteenth century. Today Sōjutsu is a minor art that is taught in few schools.

Jacqueline, you have worked hard in school and in the dojo. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWe will work on two ways to improve your blog: 1. pictures 2. giving credit to sources.
I'm excited to hear more about your progress in the lessons. Is it really physically difficult? Do you get sore from the exercise or the striking and defending?
Physically was difficult. I do get sore after my lessons. I'm still trying to get pictures but I have no one to take pictures with to show my training. I was planning to give the sources after I finish explained all the martial arts. Btw thanks for commenting on my page. ^_^
