難しくて、面白いですね？

Glad I could be helpful.

I am glad it was helpful to you. I've done all the tutorials I can for Naginata, but there are other resources out there that are better than me. Good luck with your practice.

I am glad it is useful to you. Make sure you are stretching properly and enjoi.

Finding a school can be very difficult. For an official place to look, try the US Naginata Federation website (naginata.org/). There are some official groups in the larger cities. However, you may want to do some more local-level searching, like Facebook or Reddit to see if there might be any kind of Zoom-based group, simply because there aren't that many groups once you get further away from the cities. Good luck.

Happy to be helpful in any way.

No problem. I hope it is useful.

Glad it is useful to you.

Sadly.

I have not practiced spear. I imagine the stances will be similar, but the attacks will be very different. Better to seek out a spear expert.

@@martialmiscellany2430 spear information is hard to find, thanks for asner

Thank you kindly.

Thank you kindly, but I'm sure there are better than me around.

Ah, I see you're a Nobushi main of culture as well.

Thank you kindly.

Thank you. I hope it is helpful.

I'm glad you like the video. I'm sorry, but I currently have neither a filming place, a partner to show the forms with, nor my Naginata gear with me. If you would like to find some examples of the Shikake-Ouji forms, I am sure there are some videos done by people far better and more experienced than me available on youTube. And there is no substitute for a partner and a teacher, if at all possible. Good luck on your endeavors.

Martial Miscellany thank you for getting back to me so quickly i really appreciate it. Thank you ^^

There are a few in existence, but the one I know and trust from personal experience is called "Shin Naginata Kyoushitsu." It is in Japanese and it is out of print, but there are places to get it. We all wish they would bring it back, frankly. Amazon (not sure I would trust this, don't know the seller): www.amazon.com/naginata-shitsu-Zennihon-Naginata-Renmei/dp/4469162779/ref=sr_1_20?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1499021913&sr=1-20&keywords=naginata Kinokuniya (more expensive, but a reliable book seller): www.kinokuniya.com/us/index.php/fbs003?common_param=9784469162776

I don't know the person behind this channel personally - but he seems to practice the budo version of naginata (same as what I practice). I highly recommend this book: www.amazon.com/Naginata-History-Practice-Alexander-Bennett/dp/4907009208 It gives a very thorough explanation of both historical aspects and the basic techniques. Saying all that - nothing replaces the practice with a teacher :-)

Thank you.

Thank you. I hope they are useful to you.

Thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately, I am only a shodan. I can't offer many advanced tips. I also do not have my necessary supplies or a place to practice/film for Naginata videos. I hope you can find some reference for the points you need. Good luck.

Thank you for the compliments. If you want forms that fit 5 ft. poles, I imagine there are videos that specialize in that weapon, but if you want to apply Naginata concepts to it, the main issue is the grip, I think. You should have between 1.5 feet and 2 feet (whatever the length of your forearm) behind the back fist on the grip on a Naginata and adjust the height with the front fist to hit the target's height. If you are using a 5-footer, you will either sacrifice striking length in the front, gripping/balancing surface in the back, or a bit of both. If you sacrifice the gripping surface in the back, then you will have to make every hand movement (i.e. changes of guard, furikaeshi strikes, etc.) much more precise to avoid losing the back grip. Good luck and safe practice!

Martial Miscellany Thank You

I hope it is useful to you.
