Today the beginners course continued with basic rolling, punching, blocking, and moved on to the concept of kuzushi 崩し (balance breaking). 

The main class continued our in depth study of Bujinkan Battojutsu with the focus now on happo giri, or, cutting in eight directions. After the break we studied Raiko no Ken 雷光之剣 (Lightning Sword) from the Togakure Ryu Ninja Biken Gata 戸隠 流 忍者 秘剣 型.
