The West Coast Taikai is a one of a kind event bringing multiple teachers and dojos together from various Gendai and Koryu sword arts of old Japan. This special event is something that is rarely seen outside of Japan and the combination of demonstrations and competition all wrapped into one is not to be missed.

This DVD provides a great insight

This DVD provides a great insight into the 2006 West Coast Tai Kai that is almost as good as being there. If you practice Batto-do, get some other dojo-mates together and watch it. It is always great to study the example of advance practioners for both technique, and attitude.

I enjoyed this set.

I enjoyed this set. I specially liked the kata demonstrations by the japanese masters. I think the competion part could have had more precise information about its development. Nice production though.

Very interesting to see

Very interesting to see the cutting competition. Definately a lot of talent there. The demos were good but I enjoyed the interviews the most. All koryu practioners can learn a lot from the words of these kenshi.
