On this DVD the Samurai Sword is the subject tackled by Masayuki Shimabukuro. He teaches 10 Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei Seitei katas, which originated from ancient Iaido. Since these katas have been adapted from other popular styles those who want to compete in Kendo tournaments will benefit from this knowledge. Shimabukuro is the chairman of the Nippon Kobudo Jikishin-Kai, and has spent much of his life passing on ancient traditions of the Japanese martial arts to the world.
