[13.1.1] Shi Shi-No-Kun Bunkai Series-13: (Block & Thrust Spear Technique)

(Kata Series 7) (Step-32,33,34)  

Note:  The Bo and the spear are common weapons. What applies to one applies to the other. When weapons were banned, this ended spear training. No one could own a spear. The common staff was then transformed into a weapon. The Bo and the spear can be: thrust, swung diagonally, poked, swung overhead, pushed forward, pushed up, and swung underhand.

Attacker:

• Overhead vertical strike.

Defender:

• Block the blow with the front of your weapon, by lifting the weapon horizontally above your head.
• Thrust the tip of the Bo forward like a spear. Getting hit by the tip of the weapon is like getting hit by a hammer.

Note: The target area is the head, throat, or sternum.

Note: The spear can be used as a throwing weapon, and it can also be used in personal combat.
