Our traditional weapons system is a look at a limited number. of traditional weapons that were designed to protect the peasants from marauding troops of samurai who were hell-bent on suppressing the commoners under their thumb. Our look at traditional Okinawan farm implements, turned into weapons is comprehensive and in-depth. it is a challenging compliment to our Iaju School of Japanese Fencing.
