katori shinto ryu

 

                                                                   

Classic weapons school dating back to 1400, nowadays considered in Japan "National Treasure of the Japanese Culture". It includes the study of several weapons, the most important of which is the sword ("Katana") in two of its variations ("Kenjutsu" and "Iai-jutsu"), followed by the long stick ("Bo") and the Japanese halberd ("Naginata"). Superior level study includes the short sword ("Kodachi") and the spear ("Yari").
