Koto Ryu Koppojutsu Chuden Kata Hi-Cho Techniques & Principles DVD with Stephen Hayes (Preowned)

To-Shin Do Founder An-shu Stephen K. Hayes offers access to private teaching work with his top students each month.

Be on the scene for An-shu's insights to enhance your own training at home or dojo - or qualify to test for Belt ranks in To-Shin Do martial arts.

This lesson - filmed on-site at An-shu's annual Mountain Quest seminar in North Carolina - presents the kata exercise Hi-Cho from the advanced Chuden "middle scroll" of To-Shin Do Koto Ryu Koppo-taijutsu "bone-break" knock-down defense hand-to-hand combat method of the Sandayu Momochi ninja family of Iga. Extremely challenging to interpret for practical use today, Koto Chuden Hi-Cho kata is shown in applied form along with a careful presentation of why the Chuden techniques look the way they do, as lessons in principle more that specific mechanics.
