happo giri
(Eight directional cut)
The Happo Giri is used to understand spatial awareness and to use the bokken in all the directional cuts using the correct breath and posture.
This is sometimes considered a meditational exercise as well as a connection to the bokken; it can take, using all the attributes quite a lot of mental and physical effort, so do not underestimate its Importance.
