The death-defying determination of the Japanese samurai warriors, the incomparable sharpness of their swords and the perfection of their fencing art are famous and have lost none of their fascination to this day. Musō Jikiden Eishin Ryu is a traditional school of the Japanese sword art Iaidō, the art of deciding a fight with the lightning-fast draw of the sword. It goes back around 450 years to the time of the samurai. This makes Eishin Ryu one of the oldest martial arts in Japan that is still practiced today.
In this book, the kata of the groups Seiza no Bu and Battō Hō are presented for the first time in German with extensive background information. They form the training content of the first years of training in Iaidō and the basic training for advanced students. It is the third volume in a multi-part introduction to the traditional Eishin Ryū Iaidō, which is aimed not only at Iaidō practitioners, but also at anyone interested in the ancient sword art of the samurai.
