Iaijutsu Batto-ho - TSUIGEKITO

Tsuigekito is the 3rd move of the Eishin Ryu Batto-ho. This set of techniques was introduced in 1939 by Kono Hyakuren, 20^th Soke of the main line of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu, at the request of the Dai Nihon Buto ku Kai, to instruct officers of the Japanese Navy in the proper method of sword drawing and handling.

The Batto-ho techniques are inspired by the older Koryu kata of MJER.
