Editorial Reviews: Muso Shinden Ryu is one of the largest schools of Iaido practiced today. In this DVD, you will learn the first 12 kata as demonstrated by Didier Boyet. Front and side angles make the sword cuts and footwork easy to understand. Also includes bonus seminar footage of seminars by Boyet and by his instructor, Takeshi Mitsuzuka sensei - student of Hakudo Nakayama and one of the highest ranking instructors in the world. In addition to instruction of 12 katas, there is also a complete Didier Boyet Iaido seminar from California in 2005, an in depth interview, and chapters on tying the belt, tying the hakama, and folding the hakama. Didier Boyet is a direct student of Takeshi Mitsuzuka who trained with the school's founder - Hakudo Nakayama. Residing in Japan, Boyet travels abroad regularly to teach Iaido and Aikido.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great intro to the art Comment: Just starting out in iaido, I found this to be just what I was looking for. Boyet explains all the nuances of why the grip is the way it is, why the foot placement etc. All of the little details I haven't picked up on in class were explained here. The seminar section was also a nice feature that shows him teaching a group of students and walking around to make corrections to their form. I'm not sure if advanced students would get a lot out of this dvd, but for beginners like me, I think it will help a lot. Customer Rating: Summary: Questional Value for the Money Comment: Good DVD, but I did not feel it is worth the selling price. The DVD primarily concentrates on 12 basic striking movements starting from the seated position. There is a bonus feature from one of his seminars. This feature was helpful because he gives additional tips on the movements and points out common mistakes. I would have preferred sections of his live seminar edited into the main instructional section. One has to refer to both the seminar and the instructional section to gather all the information provided in the DVD. More Reviews
