The first Kashima Shin Ryu sojutsu seminar, directed by Andrzej Bazylko sensei, designed for advanced kenjutsu students, was held on the 17 December 2016. We worked on yari awase, in which both sides do simultaneous thrust to feel te no uchi of the oponent. Kata kenjutsu ashi barai ukibune and wari tsuki, in which uke attacked using yari to let learning reaction for the attack with the long weapon, were practised. We got to know 10 sojutsu kata.
