Hello everyone.
During my on-going research on Koryu, I came across quite an interesting picture about Naginatajutsu. I am very fresh to this kind of art and don't know much about it yet but this stroke me as been quite amazing: I saw a picture of two women practicing their kata, the one with a baby on her back. (view photo on Koryu.com: http://koryu.com/cgi-bin/guidephotos.cgi?album=wwj&photo=wwj28)
It looks very pretty.
My question is: has Toda-ha Buko-ryu or any other ryu including naginatajutsu in their curriculum, ever developped techniques with women fighting and defending their babies on their backs??
This particular photograph could be a pure coincidence: the woman couldn't leave the baby on the side and therefore is practicing wt him/her instead...?? May be it's not incompatible??
Thank you all in advance.
Best regards,
Harry.
