Batto Kenjutsu is based on the principle of "battōjutsu," which is the art of drawing the sword quickly and accurately. This is a very important skill in swordsmanship, as it allows the practitioner to quickly engage an opponent.

In addition to battōjutsu, Batto Kenjutsu also includes a number of other techniques, such as:

  • Iaijutsu: the art of quickly drawing and cutting with the sword
  • Kenjutsu: the art of swordsmanship
  • Tameshigiri: the art of cutting test targets

    What is Tameshigiri?

    Tameshigiri is the art of cutting test targets with a sword. This is a very important part of Batto Kenjutsu, as it allows the practitioner to test their skills and improve their technique.

    There are a number of different types of test targets that can be used in Tameshigiri, including:

  • Tatami mats: These are the most common type of test target, and are made of a thick, woven material.
  • Bamboo mats: These are also a common type of test target, and are made of a thin, flexible material.
  • Watermelons: These are a good target for testing the sharpness of a sword, as they are very soft and can be cut easily.
  • Pigs: These are a more difficult target to cut, and are typically used by experienced practitioners.

    What is Eishin Ryu?

    Eishin Ryu is a style of Batto Kenjutsu that was founded in the 16th century by Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu. Eishin Ryu is known for its focus on practical swordsmanship, and is one of the most popular styles of Batto Kenjutsu in the world.

    Eishin Ryu is characterized by its use of a single sword, and its emphasis on rapid, precise attacks. The style also includes a number of techniques for disarming an opponent.
