This is an excerpt from Kyu 1 of the Bujinkan black belt video course "Basics of Ninja Training" from
www.Ninja-Learning-Network.com. (Instant Download, DVD or Blu-ray.)
Sensei Roemke demonstrates some basic concepts for training with the Kyoketsu Shoge. This traditional Japanese weapon was a metal ring on rope with another metal blade-like weapon at the other end of the rope. Plastic components are used for training purposes in modern Bujinkan practice. This video introduces concepts to learn how to spin, throw, target and grapple against an opponent for self-defense purposes. The next video "Kyoketsu Shoge: Part 2 Capturing" will show how to send a loop along the length of the rope to "capture" a target at the other end of the rope.
