This class introduces weaponry through the lens of illusions, building on the previous Naihanchi work by showing what was always present but went unseen. Hanshi Juchnik addresses the danger of labels, the way clinging to one expression of a movement closes off a million others, and the limits practitioners place on swordsmanship by treating only the blade as the sword. The discussion covers bokken and jo work, mindset as the director of the blade, the illusion of the hands, disguising movement with the anatomy, the tip of the weapon, how the body creates the cut rather than the arms, escape with the knee, wagging the tail, and the principle that a practitioner's reality is whatever the opponent is willing to perceive.
