Great detailed instructional book for true swordfighting with a katana

Drills for an awesome young man.
I have an amazing 6th grade Godson. He is a black belt, a star pitcher, and a huge Dogers fan. Only so many Jersey's and hats you can make a kid feel appreciated with. So I gave him my old bamboo fencing sword and got him this book to drill with. He has that kind of discipline. Kid continues to amaze me. I wish my boys were of the moral quality he is. He appreciated the gift.

very useful and good for beginners
Very helpful book for the beginner sword person. I use it to practice with my friend.the illustrations really help us because when we first started we had no idea what we were doing. We are both stuntwomen

Everything You Wanted To Know About Sword Usage, But Were Afraid To Ask...
After reading Chapter 1, I was able to cleanly slice a watermelon. After Chapter 2 I can now wear my Ninja uniform with confidence. I'm partway through Chapter 3 and feel I can now defend myself from my grandmother's cane. This book has, thus, far inspired my innner-self toward the road to enlightenment. I still, however, would feel more secure wearing socks when I start cutting people...

Aiido
A very useful book for people interested in Japanese martial arts but particularly those with an interest in aiido and aijutsu

So basic
Compare my expectation...the contents are not enough for various drill...It's for just basic drill. More preview the book inside can help customer choose the right books.
