$49.95 In this DVD Matsui Kenji Sensei demonstrates the outer kata of Shinto Muso Ryu Jojutsu, including the 12 Omote kata and the the 12 Chuden Kata.

In addition to the outer kata of Shinto Muso Ryu, Kenji Sensei also demonstrates the kata of Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu, an sword art which has been associated with Shinto Muso Ryu for well over 300 years.
