Yawara no Maki, Kuroda Tetsuzan
Recorded year 2000, 40 mins, 6000YEN ORDER
A big showcase of Shishin Takuma Ryu Jujutsu, as taught by Kuroda Tetsuzan Sensei, a total of 29 Kata!
Starting off with a bit of asobi (playing with Jujutsu techniques), the first part of this DVD is pretty interesting to watch. Like how Kuroda Sensei can make a person fall to the side while touching fingertip-to-fingertip with him!
Shishin Takuma Ryu Jujutsu Kata showcase:
- Omote Idori (10 kata)
- Ura Idori (5 kata)
- Ryu no Maki (14 Kata)
Kuroda Sensei always demonstrates all the Kata in a particular segment first, before letting his students partner-up and practice, while he walks around giving personal instruction to each of them.
Don’t expect a lot of indepth instruction in this DVD. This is more for people to get a glimpse of what Shishin Takuma Ryu Jujutsu is about, and also for Kuroda Sensei’s students’ reference when away from dojo. That said, the level of Jujutsu showcased in this DVD is very high and a pleasure to watch.
For indepth instruction DVDs from Kuroda Sensei, check out the “Gokui Shinan” series.
