This is a great video showing the Sakki test given to Yondan (fourth degree blackbelts). They pass the test by evading a sword blow from behind. If they pass they are awarded the rank of Godan (fifth degree blackbelt) and are issued licenses to teach as Bujinkan instructors. Participants must travel to the hombu dojo in Japan for this test and it is usually administered by Soke Hatsumi or sometimes a Shihan with Soke standing by. It is also good to note Soke's sense of humor during some of it!
Hope you liked the video! Now go train and maybe some day you'll be knelt in front of Soke evading a sword blow to the head!
I found this video on YouTube here.
