Sojutsu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sōjutsu (槍術, sometimes incorrectly read as yarijutsu) is the art of fighting with the Japanese spear, yari (槍).

Sōjutsu is typically only a single component of curriculum in comprehensive Japanese koryu schools; for example Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu includes spear fighting techniques. Other famous sōjutsu schools are Owari Kan-ryu and Hozoin-ryu. Because there were so many varieties of the yari, and the fact that it was very good both offensively and defensively meant that this was an art that was very extensive.
