Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido - Shoden


Product code: BOI-12

£21.50 (sold out - arriving 31/05/2012)

The first manual in a series of three (Chuden & Okuden volumes to follow soon), this detailed pictorial and textual guide to the Shoden level of the Muso Shinden Ryu is unparalleled by any existing publication in the English language.

The books format is clear and easy to follow, describing the whole of the Shoden in detail.  The information starts with the correct Reiho and continues through the intricacies of each of the Shoden Kata, finally ending with a glossary of important terms in both English and Japanese.

Created by Chris Mansfield Sensei, 7th Dan teacher and exponent of the Muso Shinden Koryu system, as an aide to the study and practice of this well subscribed but little documented Ryuha, this manual is a must for practitioners of the Muso Shinden Ryu and will be of great interest to any serious practioners of the Koryu sword drawing arts of Japan.

    The manual excels as stated in the product description as the most detailed in terms of text and visual descriptions of the katas of the Shoden level of the Muso Shinden Ryu. As my work does not permit me to be at the dojo for great lengths of time, this manual serves as a guide and reminder when I am only left with the option to practice by myself overseas. The manual will be extremely valuable for Iai practioners under the lineage of Ishido Sensei as Chris Mansfield Sensei is.
