Okay most of you probably do not know that I have had some Filipino and Korean Sword Training as well as currently studying Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido along with the Sword work in Budo Taijutsu. One thing that I enjoy very much about the collective sword training in the Bujinkan is the freedom of movement within our Taijutsu. Sensei continually demonstrates his unique mastery by improvising and changing with what the moment dicatetes. This I personally think is one of the strong suits of Bikenjutsu in the Bujinkan. (oh and I am willing to admit that it can be a weakness as well depending on the individual) Any thoughts?
If you have not picked up Sensei's latest book on Japanese Swordsmanship then I could not recommend it more.
