劍法

My Japanese kenjutsu or kenpō practice is centered around the teachings of Shinkage-ryū passed down at the Hōbyōkan by Dr. David Hall, especially Kashima-shinden Jiki Shinkage-ryū Heihō [ 鹿島神傳直心影流 兵法 ] — Jikishinkage-ryū (or often simply "Shinkage-ryū" in brief) is one of the most powerful surviving forms of traditional Japanese swordsmanship — its small and austere curriculum focuses on the combative use of the Japanese long sword (tachi) and short sword (kodachi).
