Tour description

Learn the Higo Ko-ryu of Naginata style of fighting samurai is a tour in Kumamoto Prefecture. Learn the Higo Ko-ryu of Naginata style of fighting samurai has a rating of 5.00/5.00.

Characterized by a one-sword deathblow, the Higo old-style naginata(Long Sword), which uses weapons as long as 8 shaku (approximately 2.4m) was developed in Kumamoto before the mid-1700s.

Since the end of the Meiji era when there were no male instructors, female instructors have preserved the tradition, and currently, Ms. Hirata is the 15th head of the school.

When using a heavy and long weapon that is eight shaku (about 2.4m), there are few movements and moves, the form is simple, and although there is no ""flashy"" movement, training in body handling and foot handling is required to move quickly. This is a 90-minute plan where you can experience the authentic Higo old-style naginata directly from Ms. Hirata, the head of the family.

Experience the Higo Koryu style straight from the female master who will pass it on to the next generation.
