Jukendo/jukenjutsu (銃剣術) or bayonet fighting demonstration by surrendered Japanese for Australian troops at Timbali Surrender Camp, Labuan Island. Filmed (by Reginald M. Barrett) on 27 November 1945. AWM ID No. F07408. Kendo armour (bogu) is worn with extra padding on the left shoulder and chest but only one glove. (In Merdeka Rising, Ota uses his jukendo and kenjutsu skills against the nationalist Lamban, who wields a Javanese klewang [sword] and keris dagger.) This is great footage, click to view!
