Practice 稽古

Enshin Ryū’s curriculum is vast, beginning with Iaijutsu (sword drawing) and Yawara (Basic Jūjutsu), advancing to Kumiuchi (grappling) and Kenjutsu (swordsmanship), and culminating in the refined art of Kumiuchi Kenden where the Tachi and long Ōdachi swords are combined with Kumiuchi in irregular ways.

Enshin Ryū is also one of the last Koryū schools in Japan that teaches Ōdachi techniques (Swords with blades over 90.9 cm long are called Ōdachi/ Nodachi)
