14th Century Japanese Swordsmanship Illustrated by Skeletons

[Fuuten]

Good evening kind folks,

 

Last night, I happened to stumble across a very interesting document which was freely offered and available for download. I had not seen anything like it which is why I'm putting it here as well, not many illustrations but the one photo that's in it I thought was quite sufficient. Its not too long but offers a lot of information.

Are there many horseback based strikes still being taught in Toyama Ryu

 

Great article, unfortunate they only had the two skulls for examples.

Horseback riding would make a great addition to our curriculum !!
