Kenjutsu

Description

Kenjutsu is an umbrella term for the ko-budo schools of Japanese swordsmanship that predate the Meiji Restoration, emphasizing real combat scenarios rather than the sport rules of its modern descendant, Kendo. The oldest surviving schools, including Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, trace to the Muromachi period.
