By MBS NEWS on 11 Oct 2020


The 37th Japan National Ninja Championships were held on 11 October 2020 at the Koka Ninja Village in Shiga, Japan.

86 ninjas from around Japan competed on the following 5 ninja techniques/skills:
*... in the above video.
  1. 手裏剣(Shuriken)*
  2. 石垣&塀越え(Ishigaki&Horigoe)* - cross over the stone wall & fence
  3. 塀飛び(Horitobi) - jumping over the fence
  4. 水上走り(Suijohashiri/Suijobashiri)* - running on the water
  5. 水蜘蛛(Mizugumo)* - means 'water spider'; a water crossing device

What is 3. Horitobi like? I've found a video on Horitobi - jumping over the fence at the 32nd Japan National Ninja Championships in 2015.
