To protect you from any harm, you only shoud use a bokken (wooden sword) or another wodden (or plastic) weaponry. All hits and cuts in this techniques are only indicated.

With the bokken (sword) is fighted against:

- Bo, Jo, chain, Kama, Tonfa, Sai, jacket and knife

Two-Weapon Technique

In two-weapon technique (like: Kama, Tonfa, Sai) one weapon is often used to control (or parry) the opponent's sword while the other one dispatches him.

Some advice:

- Do not move yourself before your opponent does: otherwise your enemy can respond to your move.

- Always block (a sword-attack) between the handle and the mittle of the opponent's sword (bokken). This gives you also a better control of your opponent's hand.

- You should avoid to get into the opponent's swordline, quickly go for swordman's hand, block (or parry) the sword-hand, try to disarm him, and put him out of action.
