Very interesting. Couple these techniques with the fact that you have on armour to slam into the opponent with the whole body. There is no way he could remain standing if the timing is right. Very cool. To those who say practicing sword is foolish and outdated, You should feel the since of urgency in your body when someone is using a weapon like this against you. It puts a lot of adrenaline in the body and makes you have to work through it. Put that with the distancing principals,and timing you have to have to do it. I think it is well worth it. Besides, it is just plain fun!!
I know Kuki Shinden-Ryū has several branches that are taught at different organizations such as the Bujinkan and the Genbukan. Do you teach Kuki Shinden-Ryū Happō Biken? Follow-up, does whichever branch you teach have more traditional kata similar to what you would see in iaido practices like Musō Shinden-ryū? Thanks, always watching and I hope to come train sometime in the next couple of years.
Hi Jason, we do teach Kukishin Biken.

Hopefully, we will see you on the mats with us, someday? Thank you!

This guy is pretty good at what he said while fluid in motion
As always, an excellent video, i wish we had done more hands on defense/offense with weaponry when i was in isshinryu!
Have you ever watched Koryu kenjutsu? It's fast as lightning.
