Very Skilled Swordsman
Here is a sword form very similar to the style (Yagyu Shinkage Ryu) I practice. I thought you might enjoy it.

The Rhythm of One Book
The art of self-defense is not about brute force or fancy techniques. It is all about who is left standing. For any technique to be effective it has to be simple, and that was our goal, to break self-defense down to its most elemental state. If you hope to have any chance of surviving an attack by a street thug, mugger, or rapist, you should read our book.
When Two Tigers Fight Book
The primary focus of "When Two Tigers Fight" is modern fighting knives and their makers. We offer guidance on finding and buying a quality fighting knife that best fits your budget, defense needs, and technical capabilities. This of One." We believe that victory goes to the person who fights with intelligence and subtlety, therefore the advanced techniques we offer are not more complicated, they are more elemental. In this book we also devote more thought to knife on knife conflicts, describing ineffective stances and debunking dangerous techniques commonly taught today.

Watching this, you can really see that the Japanese sword style is not about fencing. More like the Marine sniper code, one shot, one kill.
Thanks for posting this.
Jeff offers an interesting analogy here. Despite the dueling back and forth in the chambara films, that approach to fighting would be very counter-productive. You could easily end up with a damaged, unusable blade or dead. There are very few light wounds with a katana most of them are crippling or terminal. The big difference vs sniper work is that classic Japanese swordsmanship often relies on invitations and feints to draw an attack whereas the sniper prefers to draw no attention to his location or actions. Thanks for your input!
