Wakigamae no Tsuke

We spent a great week end in Pensacola training with Carl Long Sensei. Lots of details of basics - Shoden Waza, Ono Ha Itto Ryu, Tachiuchi no Kurai...

We have reached the point where we have memorized the waza and can now get into the details that will help us improve them !


Wakigamae no Tsuke is the 5th Waza of Ono Ha Itto Ryu school of Kenjutsu.

It is here demonstrated by Masayaki Shimabukuro Sensei, Hanshi, and my friend Joe Byers, Niddan, in March 2009 at the Big Green Drum Dojo in Pensacola Florida.

Masayuki Shimabukuro, Hanshi, hachidan (8th dan black belt) is a direct student of Miura Takeyuki Hidefusa, Hanshi, Jyudan (10th dan black belt) founder of the Nippon Kobudo Jikishin-kai, and current and 20th headmaster of Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu iai-jutsu.
