covers the 10 kenjutsu kata of the All Japan Kendo Federation. Created in 1906 by a committee of master teachers from Shinto Munen Ryu, Musashi Ryu, Jikishin Kage Ryu, Kyoshin Mechi Ryu and Jikishin Kage Ryu, these kata distill out the fundamentals of Japanese swordsmanship. They teach the correct way to use the three basic kamae, as well as the fundamentals of timing, spacing and rythm. In this DVD, originally filmed in 1992, Hanshi Kito Takayasu Sensei instructs while hanshi Murayama Keisuke Sensei and hanshi Konuma Hiroyuki Sensei demonstrate the kata. With special attention paid to the fine details, this is an excellent reference source for anyone interested in Japanese swordsmanship.
