The sub title is 'Japanese Military Iai-Batto-Do'
which basically describes what the DVD is all about. The front cover picture
showing a swordsman cutting through mats implies that you will see
actual cutting in the DVD which you do not. From that point of view a little
disappointing. However, the actual sword work , as a training system. is very clear and could be used as a guide to learning how to use a sword. The details of body mechanics and balance factors is omitted so a person would have difficulty becoming competent just by studying this video. Worth watching as an aspect of interest but not adequate for a basis to long term study. |
