[Rai Keyri · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of the early books about Kenjutsu. Some that are written here, I already read in some Kenjutsu/Iaido books. Toyama Ryu, as far as I remember was used by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War 2. I believe it's not the only koryu that practices Tameshigiri. Reminds me of my days in Shinkendo Philippines wayback 2014. Senpai is a hypocrite. Criticizing me for blogging about it because the techniques are regarded as "secrets" even though they themselves are posting them on social media.
