-- PRESENTATION: OWARIKAN RYU SOJUTSU & YAGYU SHINKAGE RYU HEIHO --
Although the official Soke of Yagyu Shinkage Ryu Heiho teaches a different group of students in a different place, the Shunpukan Dojo, renown mostly for its Owarikan Ryu spear techniques, also happen to practice Yagyu Shinkage Ryu Heiho and they often demonstrate both techniques during their demonstrations.
Since Yagyu Shinkage Ryu Heiho is demonstrated thoroughly by the official Soke in another video, we will only introduce the Owarikan Ryu Sojutsu here. Let just mention that the Shunpukan Dojo practices the Owari line (which is somehow similar to the other groups demonstrating at the event).
The school was founded by Tsuda Gonnojō Taira Nobuyuki at the end of the 17th century. It includes techniques with the short and long swords as well as the spear. The school was made famous by the particular handling of the spear, using a twirl of the shaft to thrust at the opponent.
