Move Jutsu

If you live in the UK and want good quality bo, hanbo, jo,etc then take a look at Nine Circles. I recently bought a white oak hanbo from there and its fantastic quality. Very good grain and very solid. I’m planning on restocking on their white oak bo.

My ju jutsu organisation is now running a revised schedule so we get to use more weapons throughout the month:
Week 1: Ken/Iaijutsu – Currently using bokto and practicing kata.
Week 2: Jujutsu & some hanbo.

Another problem I’m having is the clashing with ju jutsu and ken jutsu.  If I’m doing a 5 or 6 day split then its [...]
