Since weapons and tactics changed throughout the different periods of Japan, including a long period of peace, Bugei Jūhappan (a catalog of 18 martial skills of the Japanese warrior) had many forms. This catalog of techniques varies from one lineage to another, so this is not exact. Below there is one that was used during the Edo period.
