Drills for an awesome young man.
I have an amazing 6th grade Godson. He is a black belt, a star pitcher, and a huge Dogers fan. Only so many Jersey's and hats you can make a kid feel appreciated with. So I gave him my old bamboo fencing sword and got him this book to drill with. He has that kind of discipline. Kid continues to amaze me. I wish my boys were of the moral quality he is. He appreciated the gift.

very useful and good for beginners
Very helpful book for the beginner sword person. I use it to practice with my friend.the illustrations really help us because when we first started we had no idea what we were doing. We are both stuntwomen

Not what I expected

An excellent supplement
This book performs its function perfectly, as a supplement to iaido or kendo training, not as a comprehensive guide to these other arts. The drills are excellent, the illustrations clear and concise, especially to a proponent of the art. The book is NOT a stand-alone manual to any specific art, and shouldn't be read as such. For something like that, try "Kendo:The Definitive Guide" or Suino's "The Art of Japanese Swordsmanship;" both of these are as close as I've found to "definitive" works.

Aiido
A very useful book for people interested in Japanese martial arts but particularly those with an interest in aiido and aijutsu

So basic
Compare my expectation...the contents are not enough for various drill...It's for just basic drill. More preview the book inside can help customer choose the right books.

Livro introdutório
Trata-se de um livro introdutório, mas as ilustrações não são boas.
