Advanced Sword: Roppo Kuji no Biken & Hanbo Jutsu DVD by Andrew Young (Preowned)

Andrew Young started training in Buinkan 1984. Since 1988 he has been living in Japan training with Hatsumi Soke. He often translates for Soke in class, and he also translated most of the Quest Video Series by Hatsumi Soke.

In June 2004 Mr Andrew Young came to us in Stockholm, Sweden to give us an update of this year's Bujinkan theme, Roppo Kuji no Biken. He taught sword and unarmed defense, and the connection between the body and the weapon. Even unarmed and defending you use the feeling of being the weapon, thus becoming the sword. The sword is hidden within your self, this is Hiken/ Biken. This was the theme for this seminar.

On this DVD we also included an extra training he did; the theme was Hanbo Jutsu, and basic movement of it. Andrew said that when he first moved to Japan the first 4-5 years they spent a lot of time studying Hanbo Jutsu. Hanbo is usually one of the first weapons you study in Bujinkan, studying it gives you a good foundation for the other weapons.
