Very elegant technique. A few variations from our style, but very few.

Our iaido and Japanese sword organization just completed our annual Summer Camp in the Catskills NY. 37 people spent 3 days training in Muso-Shinden-Ryu Iaido. What a great weekend and group to be a part of. The legacy of Mitsuzuka Takeshi Sensei lives on.

A Kaewaza or House Version within Eishin Ryu of Yukizure, with a double attack to the first opponent and a suggestion of tsuka evasion in the timing at the 3rd to 4th step. In our Muso Shinden Ryu, we have just the 2 quick attacks in our Yukizure, right and left. I have my own kaewaza for this technique. Right, left then a body driven rotation cut yokogiri to resolve the first opponent fully, and step back into jodan and chiburi-noto.
