E166 – KUDEN! – Another Blade Avoidance Test?


One of the most talked about aspects of Bujinkan Ninjutsu training is the taking and passing of the sakki – blade avoidance test – for Godan, 5th degree black belt, and where one becomes a Shidoshi (‘Teacher of the Warrior Ways of Enlightenment’).

But, within the Warrior Concepts’ Black Belt & Life Mastery curriculum, the student faces another such test long before reaching the point where they will do the sakki test. But this 2nd challenge is a part of their test for first degree black belt.

During this week’s episode of KUDEN! Radio, we’ll talk about both of these tests, what they signify (beyond mere rank), and the base skills needed for each. You won’t want to miss this one!
