Naginata Class |
Naginata Class - for Adults Only!Once a student has attained a sufficient level of proficiency in Kendo, they may be invited to join the Naginata class. The Naginata is a traditional battlefield weapon of Japan that is part bo, part spear, and part sword, with a reach of 6’10”. The shaft is wood, topped by 21” of bladed steel. This class is very formal and traditional: the Naginata is a beautiful weapon that is very rewarding to learn, but it requires great skill and concentration to use. The stances, cuts, positions and terminology are identical to the Kendo classes, but the flexibility of the Naginata is what makes it so challenging and fascinating. |
