Sheila Haddad Nanadan

Seventh degree black belt demonstration by Sheila Haddad, completing the technical requirements of Seibukan Jujutsu.

The requirements were numerous and deep.  All 7 katas, each corresponding to a dan level, had to be performed back to back.  Tai sabaki followed, which serves as an intermediate step between kata and henka (variations), where techniques are performed against prearranged attacks. Sword, sword retention, Knife defense, and henka (improvised techniques against strikes and grabs) were some of the skills on display.  Seibukan Jujutsu is a dynamic art, and this demonstration captures each of the elements this modern martial art and way stresses in it’s philosophy:  Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Void.
