Yagyu Shingan Ryu DVD Vol 2 & 3 by Kenji Shimazu

In Accordance with the Laws of Nature, Without Opposing the Laws of Humanity, Learning the Laws of Offense and Defense

Yagyu Shingan-ryu differs in essence from other ancient martial arts focusing on jujutsu, emphasizing striking techniques involving clenched fists, bent elbows, and firm arms, delivering powerful blows with sharp spirit. Master Shimazu Kenji, head of Yagyu Shingan-ryu Takeousha, reveals the true nature of this practical martial art. This DVD series, the second installment, introduces the combat techniques of Yagyu Shingan-ryu that have survived through the ages, compiling the previously released VHS tapes "Lesson 2: Basic Combat" and "Lesson 3: Combat Techniques and Handling."
