Article Name

edit

The article name is significantly problematic. The art of atarashii naginata is universally known simply as "Naginata" by practitioners, and naginatajutsu is used only to refer to relatively rare koryu arts. I'd like to fix this by splitting "Naginata" into "Naginata (weapon)" and "Naginata (martial art)" and making this page a redirect to the latter. I'll wait a week before doing this, in case anyone has any objections. Susan Davis (talk) 16:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Modern Sport

edit

The following was in the "Modern Sport" section:

In Meiji period, Naginata-jutsu became very rare skill (because all the Koryu naginata kata, enemy uses sword, so it needed sword skill also). Sakakida-Yaeko, the Tento-ryu naginata-jutsu Hanshi, and her collaborator makes naginata-do and the kata (Shikake-Ohij 8hon). It is a competition naginata vs naginata. (Ref) the Kendo-Nippon monthly, July,1982 page 61-65)

I can't really follow what's being said here; if another editor could clean it up and edit it back in, that'd be awesome. Susan Davis (talk) 17:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Extremely late, but the way I parse that is
"In the Meiji period, Naginata-jutsu became very a rare skill (This is because in all the Koryu naginata kata, the techniques are performed paired against a sword, so training required developing sword skills as well). In response, Sakakida Yaeko, a Tendo-ryu naginata-jutsu Hanshi, and her collaborator created the 8 Shikake Oji kata of atarashii naginata, which are performed naginata vs naginata. (Ref) the Kendo-Nippon monthly, July,1982 page 61-65)" 206.188.39.166 (talk) 00:03, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
