To-Shin Do Kuki Shinden Ryu Happo Biken Kiri Age DVD with Stephen Hayes

TO-SHIN DO Happo Biken Kiri Age is a 60-minute DVD learning program teaching one of the Kuki Shinden Ryu nine secrets of the sword as taught to Toshitsugu Takamatsu in the late 1800s. An-shu says, "This appears to be a simple principle for how to win when your adversary gets the jump on you, but making it work reliably takes lots of practice. We show you the secrets for Kiri Age in its truest form, just as we teach in our dojo's Black Belt class, passed down to me in Japan in the mid-1970's when ninjutsu was still being taught in its direct form."
