This past weekend i was able to attend festival in Takamatsu where a former student was doing naginata demonstration. Other than talking to her about naginata, I had never heard of or seen the sport before. There were two groups of schools doing the demonstration and it was really interesting to see the performance. I find it interesting that Japan has so many sports or arts that are based off martial arts. It was also interesting how the sport is mostly comprised of women and how that is based off historical conceptions of the weapon's usage. I'm really exited to see more demonstrations like this but for other martial arts!
