Everything about this volume is excellent, from the quality of the printing to the thoroughness of the contents. Even if you're not a student of Shinkendo, the coverage gives an excellent overview of Japanese sword training and the various essential elements involved. This volume along with Modern Bushido (covering philosophy in more detail) and Shinkendo Tameshigiri (covering test cutting in more detail) provide a complete written syllabus to go along with in-person Japanese sword training or a primer for those interested.
