Background of Katori (TSKSR) Techniques

The Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū, or Katori (TSKSR - Acronym), is a comprehensive martial art. This means that unlike modern martial arts such as Kendo or Iaido, which concentrate on one specific weapon, study is made of a broad range of weapons and martial skills.

Description of Katori (TSKSR) Techniques

Apart from Iai justsu and Batto jutsu the kata in TSKSR techniques necessitate two partners. Some levels, like the Sword Gogyo level are meant for advanced students that have learned the basic level kata.

Kaltura Although it may be said that training in the school illustrates the concept of the bugei juhappan, unfortunately the arts of Sui-ren, Hojutsu, Bajutsu, and Kyujutsu have at some time been lost over the almost six hundred year history of the school. However, such knowledge as Ninjutsu and Houka is still passed down through kuden. The main emphasis of the school is on Kenjutsu. A long range of other weapons are being taught as part of the curriculum, but the sword remains the central weapon.
