Bujinkan DVD Series 31: Kuki Shinden Ryu Yoroi Kumiuchi with Masaaki Hatsumi

The armor braiding and hanbo techniques introduced here are one of the techniques that are handed down as the Kukijin Denryu Hachiho Hidden Sword. Armor is a very heavy wear for samurai, and you can't fight if you don't have good physical skills. Armor group debate can be said to be the essence of all body arts. It is said that the history of hanbo has been around since ancient times in Japan, and it is said that hanbo was born when a samurai with a broken spear fought with the remaining half of the handle during the war. The hanbo further develops into a swordstick.
