The 3rd BO-JUTSU Demonstration Tournament was held at the Shibuya District Sports Center Dojo.
Following last year, it was a general division tournament, and as it progresses, both men and women have enhanced the content, making it an even more fulfilling tournament.
Before the matches, the performance of YUSHINMON BUKE-MAI by two women highlighted strength and flexibility, offering a gallant, beautiful, and splendid start.
The atmosphere grew tense with performances, CHINTO, GOJUSHIHO, BASSAI, and KUSHANKU by elementary and middle school representatives, BO-JUTSU by Kurosawa SHIHAN, and TOKUMINE NO KON by Ono SHIHAN.
Leveraging their experience, the matches conveyed a calm atmosphere while also showcasing the strategic depth of budo. Additionally, the increasingly impressive performances by newcomers, not just in strength but also in agility, were memorable.
The SOKE's review also acknowledged the efforts since last year's tournament, expressing anticipation for the future.
Furthermore, it was mentioned that the next event would introduce new KATA for BO-JUTSU and incorporate KUMI-UCHI matches.
