Bukiwaza: Weapons Technique

Tachi Tandoku Kihon Dosa Renzoku
United Basic Movements With Sword (solo)

Jodan - front strike

Ju No Kumitachi (Juppon)
Bokken Movement: 10 kinds with partner

1) Shite leads bokken to throat. Uke raises to jodan then shuffles in for front strike. Shite shuffles back then immediately in for front strike to center of forehead.

2 & 3) Shite and Uke both raise to jodan. Uke front strikes to center. Shite shuffles/cross-steps to right/left raising to jodan then striking uke at center of the forehead.

4 & 5) Shite and Uke both raise to jodan. Uke front strikes to center. Shite shuffles/cross-steps to right/left raising to jodan then striking uke along the ear-chin line of the jaw (side strike)

6 & 7) Shite leads bokken to center of uke's throat. Uke raises to jodan then shuffles in and strikes. Shite avoids the strike by cross-stepping/shuffling to the left/right all the while protecting their right/left shoulder by rotating the bokken around the shoulder for a block then raising to jodan. Shite then shuffles in and strikes uke at center of forehead.

8) "The J". Shite leads bokken to uke's throat. Uke raises to jodan then shuffles in to strike. Shite catches ukes timing and lowers bokken under Uke's (keeping blade parallel with the ground) and shuffles to left. Shite raises to jodan then strikes Uke's front wrist. Timing is very important here. The strike to the wrist must happen at the end of Uke's front strike. "Fudochi!"

9) Shite leads bokken to Uke's throat. Uke raises to jodan and Shite follows in to the throat turning the blade to the left.

10) Shite leads bokken to Uke's throat. Uke raises to jodan and Shite follows in to the front wrist. Uke front strikes and Shite allows blade to contact uke's side of the neck. Uke's forward momentum cuts their own neck. Shite must brace the bokken to this cut.
