Strategy in Japanese Swordmanship by Nicklaus Suino

Strategy in Japanese Swordmanship by Nicklaus Suino

A step-by-step guide for advanced students of Japanese swordsmanship on cultivating a strategic mind in training.

After years of practicing persistently and developing technical prowess, advanced students in the Japanese sword arts need to cultivate a strategic mind if they are to advance to the rarefied level of master swordsperson. Rather than passively absorbing the sword techniques, an ambitious student needs to focus more directly on the two ultimate goals of the art--to cut the opponent while avoiding being cut and to move toward perfection of character.

In Strategy in Japanese Swordsmanship--the third volume in his invaluable series on Japanese swordsmanship--Nicklaus Suino, one of the most respected swordsmen in the United States, clearly and concisely presents a tactical approach to training, grounded in these two objectives. He provides a framework for learning strategy in swordsmanship, and demonstrates techniques and drills that help put the strategies into practice.

Nicklaus Suino is a sixth-degree black belt in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu iaido. He is codirector of the iaido division and director of the judo division of the Shudokan Martial Arts Association, and is a regional director of the North American branch of the International Martial Arts Federation. He lives in Traverse City, Michigan, and teaches iaido and other martial arts at seminars throughout North America. Information on his seminars can be found at www.artofjapaneseswordsmanship.com.
