Jukendo, the Japanese Martial Art of the Bayonet

The martial art of Jukendo, the art of the bayonet, is unique in using only a single thrusting technique to attack. However, training with the mock wooden rifle and bayonet is complex with subtle variations of parrying and thrusting. The instructor is Hanshi 9th dan Sensei Kuwahara Masaharu who has an astonishing 75 years of experience in Jukendo. Sadly just after our video was filmed he passed away at 89 years of age.
