Mastering Martial Speed Without Clashing with the Opponent

Tetsuzan Kuroda, the 15th head of Shimbukan, is a renowned ancient martial artist known for his mesmerizing speed in drawing the sword without showing any preparatory movement.

Key concepts in understanding his remarkable movements include:

• Musoku no Hō (Method without stepping)
• Absolute negation of ordinary movements (Absolute Denial of Force)
• Jun Tai Hō (Method of using neither hands nor feet)
• The Kuroda Theory, which can be seen as a modern oral tradition.

To embody these theories, Shimbukan employs a unique training method known as "Play Practice", which focuses on extracting and honing the essence of ancient martial arts.

This DVD is a must-watch for those who:
