The Thousand Mask Warrior

Naginatajutsu

Naginata in the Edo period in Japan then even decreased kamhashuran usage. More other weapons later became more often revered for their superiority, including the rifle of one of them. In addition, the Edo period was a period of peace in Japan.

However, this does not mean that naginata are not used at all. Its use is still very tough and well known. It's just that, at that time later, naginata is more often studied and used by women than male soldiers. Naginata became a symbol of Japanese women who were also obliged to train themselves to be able to take care of the family.

Women at the high level of society at that time deliberately chose naginata because it can support their movement and body shape. Long naginata, can be put to good use. The female body is small and lower than the male, can be covered with naginata that can be used for piercing or cutting. Naginata, which was originally used by Japanese walking soldiers, was intended to open a large space. Its long shape makes the attackers have to think twice to be able to get closer.

The Japanese meniyayi women also use naginata so that it is not as easy to approach let alone touch the enemy.

At the end of the Heian period and the beginning of Kamakura, around the year 1100 AD, there lived a female samurai or onna-musha. This female samurai was named Hangaku Gozen.

The Hangaku princess is a member of the Taira family, who live with her family in Echigo. He had a father named Jo Sukenaga who died in battle against Kiso Yoshinaka. Before long, he follows his uncle Jo Nagamochi and his male cousin Jo Sukemori in a battle. The battle was called the Kennin Rebellion of 1201 AD, in which he and his family rebelled against the Kamakura Shogun, as his late father did.

Princess Hangaku became famous as a brave and shrewd female samurai. He is recounted in the historical record of leading 3000 troops to fight 10,000 opposing forces.

He has the ability to ride a horse while shooting from the saddle. He also has the power to use naginata. From the horse, the naginata is able to slash and stab enemies quickly. A curved naginata blade like a katana can cut through the flesh of an opponent without much energy.

Although the Jo family of the Taira breed later lost the war, the Hangaku Gozen name became a master, mainly due to its use of nagainata.

Paulo Omura has also learned a little bit the essence and essence of some of the mainstay of Princess Hangaku. His horses were changing rapidly, as were his two hands changing places.

His four opponents were mostly horse-riding Bokators. It is amazingly similar to Muay Boran especially Krabi Krabong, which is both swords crossed in front of the chest, or raised above the head, while the knees are alternately right and left raised. Now the four subordinate soldiers of Sokhem and Sovanara had increased their vigilance than before.

In fact, from the beginning they already know who will be faced, which is one of the nine New World warriors whose power can be compared even equated with their two master lovebirds. However, when looking at the Kirishitan ronin who seemed unconvincing when considered a great warrior, the combined warriors of Khmer and Siam put both dha and their daap on the side, not with Bokator and Krabi Krabong. As a result, one of their colleagues died in just one explosion.

“Quickly, don't waste my time! Sokhem should have sent you all here instead of humbling me by just giving five lives in front of my dinner plate!” exclaimed Paulo Omura using Japanese language which is clearly not understood at all by the bullies.

Two Khmer soldiers from Cambodia, playing with their two dha like silat flowers. The goal is to determine the attack and lure the opponent. One fighter, holding only one sword, turned the blade so that it was in line and aligned with his upper arm, then raised one knee.

It is this warrior who attacks first. He rotated his body to gain a greater range and energy for his sabet. His sword attack like a crescent moon was thrusting long incongruously from the head to the shoulder of Paulo Omura.

The one under attack lowered his naginata bar and shifted to the side. The blade of the opponent's sword cut the empty air as wide as his little finger from his head.

BUGS!

The Khmer soldier was pushed hard and almost lost his balance. He immediately rolled to the side so as not to fall.

However, it is not Paulo Omura if it does not get something out of his every move. He did not get a gap to attack the Khmer with a single sword, but he changed the attack by welcoming two attackers.

The naginata bar facing down is raised and released straight up but short and fast.

SRETT!

One attacker did not expect his arm to break just like that in one sabet. He fell sitting on the ground with his eyes half-beaten to death. Before long the pain spread to his brain, shocking all the nerves so that it made him scream restrained.

However, Paulo Omura's naginatajutsu attack did not stop at the attack. Paulo Omura dashed to the side dodging the slash of the opponent's double sword which was aimed blindly at his head and chest, then advanced quickly from the awah beside the opponent's body to thrust his naginata.

JLB!

Naginata penetrates the opponent's upper hull slipping through the ribs. Paulo Omura quickly pulled out his weapon even before the opponent could realize that he had been stabbed.

Blood gushed out smoothly.

Paulo Omura raised his naginata blade not too high. Just as the opponent's body began to collapse, Paulo Omura beat his naginata at high speed.

The opponent's head slipped from his body, falling down on a roll, just as the headless body collapsed onto the grassy ground.

Paulo Omura won't stop there. It is true that he does not want to waste time. He tracked down the body of the opponent who was struggling because one hand was missing, so that it lurched back hard and fast.

This action is not without purpose. The body of the jolted opponent was humming two other opponents who were about to attack towards him, so that he immediately fell.

In this state, Paulo Omura again ran fast. His movements were like an agile deer. Like all types of Japanese silat, a firm and broken movement is the characteristic. Even the way Paulo Omura runs is small, short, but firm and fast. Now he is targeting the Khmer warrior with a single sword that had rolled away from the fall due to being boated by Paulo Omura.
