I166 Koryu Iai No Hondo
$59.95
Iwata Sensei is the most highly respected teacher of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu alive. He is one of only a handful of living holders of the Tora No Maki, the highest certificate in the Eishin Ryu system. In this book he outlines the entire Iai syllabus of Eishin Ryu iai, including the extra "Bangai" kata. Iwata demonstrates some important variations of some kata. Of great value, he also demonstrates important mistakes people make, and shows the correct way to do things right next to it so the differences are clear and easy to understand. This is the most informative and authoritative book on Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu in any language. In connection with Iwata Sensei's 2 video set on Eishin Ryu, there is no finer reference for study.
