Yari, Bujinkan spear fighting

槍 YARI

Bujinkan spear fighting. Yari, spears

This is the basics for the Bujinkan spear fighting. The model of the spear we use in the Kukishin-ryu Sōjutsu Kata below is the 単槍 TAN-YARI, simple spear (see picture above). The length is 1 Shaku (30 cm) blade and 6 Shaku (183 cm) shaft with 鐏 ISHIZUKI a metal foot on the opposite end. However there are many, many variations of 槍 YARI (spears), from very short to very long up to 6 meters. Sometimes there are one or more hooks attached to the blade. In the picture to the right you can see some variations.

I made a seminar about the Bujinkan spear fighting and the Kaisetsu Kata, the first level with the nine techniques in 2004 and recorded them. You can download the video and 18 page manual from this page.
