Ki Ken Tai Book 3: Kiwami by Tetsuzan Kuroda (2nd Edition)

This is the 2nd edition of the 3rd book in Tetsuzan Kuroda's "Ki Ken Tai" series of instructional books.

Unveiling the Apex of Swordsmanship: The Trilogy of Iaijutsu and Bojutsu

Delve into the Secrets of "Inside the Sheath"

Explore the art of achieving the same readiness as a drawn sword without physically unsheathing it. Discover the intricate body control techniques that underpin the most challenging forms, transcending the use of conventional weapons.

In the realm of Iai, where one must confront a standing swordsman from a seated position, traditional methods often fall short. However, delve deeper into the miraculous technique known as "Ukimi," which revolutionizes this encounter with its unique principles divergent from conventional standing techniques.

This book transcends martial arts theory, offering insights that elevate your understanding of movement to a new dimension. Whether you are a practitioner honing your skills or an enthusiast of Japanese martial arts, this exploration into Iaijutsu and Bojutsu promises to enrich your journey.
