Takizawa sensei shows one part of "Ryusetsu Ken (柳雪剣)" with the sword though we must use "Maru-Dachi (丸太刀)" for "Kumitachi (組太刀)". Many students can not use "Maru-Dachi (丸太刀)" as the sword...so he shows it as example. When we use the sword, we make the distance between both. | Tenshin ryu Hyoho | Facebook
