6th international Ninjutsu colloquium in AKBAN and training this week

The Sixth international Ninjutsu Colloquium will take place this Friday, 1.5.2015, at AKBAN Tel Aviv Honbu dojo. We will be hosting Ninjutsu instructors from Europe and Bujinkan Judans from Israel. The 6th Colloquium will start at 08:00 sharp till 10:30, May the 1st. this Friday. Please arrive at 07:45 to fill out the forms needed. Foreign and Israeli instructors are welcome. Please coordinate with me at akban@akban.org. Simultaneous translation is available during the Colloquium in Japanese, English and French. Previous AKBAN Colloquiums were watched, in AKBAN's YouTube channel, more then 70,000 views by almost 15,000 viewers at an average view time of 18 minutes. We take these astounding numbers as a token of increased interest in Traditional, combat oriented, Ninjutsu and will video and translate this event also. Take a look at our previous Colloquiums and the Application Requirements here. The Sixth Colloquium will deal with the way various Ryuha in Takamatsu-den deal with resistance. We will use Kata from main systems to show that some systems meet resistance with stringer resistance, some 'go with the flow' while others combine these two modes into an intricate reaction. The Kata chosen to exemplify each Ryu are:

1. Oh Gyaku - From Koto Ryu
2. Renyo - From Gyokku Ryu
3. Koshi ori - From Takagi Yoshin Ryu
4. Fuki (Fukan) - From Fudo Ryu
5. Ryu fu - From Kukishinden Ryu

During the preceding week we will work with these kata to prepare the ground for a thorough exploration in the Colloquium. See you there, Yossi Sheriff
