Bojutsu practice with protective gear

Weapons practice needs a next level above kata practice, and basic pre arranged kumite. To expand skills and understanding one needs to raise the level of realism and in order to do that protective equipment is necessary. Here we are using a mask and gloves commonly used in HEMA practice (Historical European Martial Arts) and tip-padded dowels. Don;t use your real practice bo for they will get destroyed.

Jack and James here are practicing single attack/defense scenarios. One starts slowly and gradually speed an intensity are increased. Later a counterattack is intruded and a counter to the counter for added realism.

The important thing is that slowly as your confidence and skills develop, your timing and speed improve as you react to a real-time attack where your partner fully intends to get you, where his goal is not to protect you.

Never do this without protective gear if you plan on keeping your fingers, eyes, teeth, bones intact.
