Hi all.
Recently I've been reading into and learning more about Kendo's sibling arts, namely Naginatado, Jukendo, and Tankendo. I found it strange however, that I couldn't find an art devoted to shiai with a yari. I've heard of sojutsu but that doesn't seem to involve shiai. Then, out of the blue this evening I've stumbled across Soudo through Facebook. There was a page titles the All Japan Soudo Federation, however all their information was in Japanese so I couldn't read it. I figured if anyone could provide me with information on Soudo, it would be someone KW community. How widely is it practiced? What are the rules for their shiai? How old is the art?
Really appreciate any information, thanks in advance.
