These photos were taken during two advanced classes. These classes are not intended for everyone- they are rough. If you are thinking of joining don't be intimidated by these pictures. You won't have to do this type of training. It is merely an option for those who are ready for it and want it.
The equipment used in some of the photos is called "bogu". It is seldom seen in America. It is similar to Kendo armor but made specifically for empty hand fighting.
