Jutte Jutsu (十手術): Natural movement with the Japanese truncheon
Ryūgyoku An ( 12 Waite St, Featherston )
Hosted by Bujinkan Gray Dōjō
🐲 We'll be introducing Jutte as our training theme for the next quarter with this one-day workshop. The focus will be "Mute no Jutte", meaning, "The 'no-hands' (無手, Mute)of '10 hands' (十手, Jutte)." Hatsumi Sensei said that the Jutte should be practised with the feeling of Mute - that is, the Jutte should be handled as such a smooth, natural extension of the body that the practitioner is almost unaware of it.

Chōtan Sesshō (長短折衝): Negotiating Distance with Sword and Kunai

🐲 In line with our Dōjō training theme for 2026, this seminar will deal with the Taijutsu of Sword and Kunai. With the sword being longer (長) and the Kunai shorter (短), the negotiation (折衝) of distance between these two weapons will be our theme of study for the day.
