The complete Nakamura Ryu system of practical swordsmanship based on the Toyama method of the Japanese Imperial Army demonstrated by its founder Taizaburo Nakamura sensei, 10th Dan. Filmed on location in Japan and never before widely available, this is a professionally produced archival record of the style from basic techniques to the advanced cutting of hard targets demonstrated by the founder. Produced as a visual learning aid, the voice over in Japanese is not a distraction for the non-Japanese students as the technical terms are universally used.

Toyama Ryu Kata-The eight sword forms as taught at the Toyama Military Academy from 1925-1945. Kumitachi - Paired forms using the Japanese sword.
