The Art of Japanese Swordsmanship: A Manual of Eishin-Ryu Iaido

A great book on Japanese sword work.

My husband and I just starting learning Iaido at a local dojo. The learning curve is steep! This manual helps tremendously and we are well on our way to being Jedi

This is a very interesting read, good detail on the technique. And even explains the scenarios behind the technique. I am enjoying it.

Outstanding manual in Iai! have read thru and practiced daily since i received it! will be looking for more from Nicklaus Suino for sure!

I bought this book to learn more of the sword seeing my son and I practice some in aikido. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to practice the sword.

Studying Kendo wil take me a while and this book gives me the help I need.

A wonderfully, clearly written and superbly illustrated manual for iaido. No book can perform as a substitute for actual training, but this manual is an excellent supplement. It has a good bit of history and clear explanations, making it useful for any martial artist, but the real focus (and where it really shines) is to the iaidoist, who will find this book indispensable.

Good book for someone who is already heavily into the Eishin Ryu Iaido school.Really wish there were Photographs instead of the little drawings of the sword moves.
