To-Shin Do Kenjutsu Shoden is advanced training for mastery in the Japanese battlefield long sword fighting as taught in Kasumi-An To-Shin Do. This 4-DVD set goes beyond the fundamental Kihon skills to give you the strategies and insights for mastering the Japanese long sword. Unique to the Japanese Sengoku Warring States Era, these sword methods are more difficult to find than the traditional Edo Era samurai sword techniques taught in most kenjutsu schools today. An-shu Stephen K. Hayes teaches the in-depth details of the classical form, and also demonstrates strategies for modern street defense based on the ancient principles of To-Shin Do Kenjutsu long sword combat.
