Yachigusa-Ryu Sojutsu (192 words)
The spear has had a long and rich tradition in Japan, ranging from being part of the very myth of creation of the country, to supreme battlefield weapon of their civil wars, to a ceremonial symbol of ones rank, position, and government status.
Sojutsu is a complete martial art on its own, but will compliment any other form of martial training.
This is due to the fact it reinforces timing and distancing, increases strength and endurance, helps develop dexterity, and teaches body control.
