Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship
Publisher: Weatherhill Inc 1995 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 0834803399 | DJVU | 6 MB
To become an expert swordsman, one must pay close attention to detail, be highly self-critical and practise diligently every day under the guidance of a good teacher. Unfortunately, contact time with a worthy mentor is limited for most. "Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship" fills this obvious gap in the training of the modern swordsman by providing bokuto (wooden sword) drills to supplement the formal class activity of forms practice. This book presents both single and two-person drills, some common to iaido and kenjutsu, others extracted from iaido forms by the author and used to teach his own students the proper ways of drawing, parrying, and cutting. Each drill is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help students hone their techniques; together they provide a comprehensive system of general skills development for anyone interested in using the Japanese sword.
