When facing a #redhead in a fight, you better focus!

Here the late Sonobe Masami #soke (18th head of #jikishinkageryu #naginatajutsu) against the late Kajiyama Takeko #sensei at #kyototaikai 2011.

On the background are the previous and the current head masters of #tendoryu showing focus on their fight. Can you name them?

This is how the #kusarigama used in #tendoryu looks like, the chain attached to the top of the handle, most often rope used instead of chain, for safety, as it is for the cover on the tip of the blade.

This is a good reminder to keep your #training #equipment in good shape, for the safety of yourself and others.

Final score from Tendo-ryu class today: Sue 1, overhead light 0.

That's one overhead light that will never threaten us again.
