Budovideos.com - Masaaki Hatsumi: Naginata, Nagamaki, Bisento DVD

Introducing the three main Japanese halberds in detail, Soke Hatsumi dispels many untruths surrounding the naginata, such as that it only a woman's weapon. 5 basic kamae and 9 techniques from the Kukishinden Ryu are demonstrated in armor and dogi comparing the movement of the naginata with the longer bladed nagamaki. A further 9 techniques deal with the heavier bisento. Features both indoor and outdoor training scenes complete with English subtitles.

As a bonus, a 20 minute Bujinkan training camp feature from 1995 is included with Hatsumi instructing on the naginata.

Hatsumi throws down with various styles of Japanese halberds. All of the material here is great, from the variety of long bladed weapons to the various techniques. The Bisento portion is also very impressive, especially since he is using a Guan Dao Guan Yu himself would have approved of. Very cool to watch.
