Perfect for dedicated practitioners seeking to maximize training outside formal classes, this guide bridges the gap between limited mentor access and the pursuit of mastery with solo and partner drills that build precision, timing, and technique. ## Description To become an expert swordsman, one must pay close attention to detail, be highly self-critical, and practice diligently every day under the guidance of a good teacher. Unfortunately, contact time with a worthy mentor is limited for most. Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship fills this obvious gap in the training of the modern swordsman by providing bokuto (wooden sword) drills to supplement the formal class activity of forms practice. Both single and two-person drills are presented, some common to iaido and kenjutsu , others extracted from iaido forms by the author and used to teach his own students the proper ways of drawing, parrying, and cutting. Each drill is illustrated with step-by-step drawings to help students hone their techniques; together they provide a comprehensive system of general skills development for anyone interested in using the Japanese sword. Review: Drills for an awesome young man. - I have an amazing 6th grade Godson. He is a black belt, a star pitcher, and a huge Dogers fan. Only so many Jersey's and hats you can make a kid feel appreciated with. So I gave him my old bamboo fencing sword and got him this book to drill with. He has that kind of discipline. Kid continues to amaze me. I wish my boys were of the moral quality he is. He appreciated the gift.

He is a black belt, a star pitcher, and a huge Dogers fan. Only so many Jersey's and hats you can make a kid feel appreciated with. So I gave him my old bamboo fencing sword and got him this book to drill with. He has that kind of discipline. Kid continues to amaze me. I wish my boys were of the moral quality he is. He appreciated the gift. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by C***T on November 8, 2025* Great book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good for beginner and intermediate levels *by οΏ½***A on August 26, 2016* This is pretty good for a beginner that has an experienced teacher to help with the fine details. It might be of use for someone with more experience in practice with little teaching experience. (As it has a good base from which put teaching method from.) Most of these drills would be taught within the first year of training at any reputable Japanese style sword school. This is very unlikely to help someone with years of training and teaching experience. ## Frequently Bought Together - Practice Drills for Japanese Swordsmanship - Kendo Guide for Beginners: A Kendo Instruction Book Written By A Japanese For Non-Japanese Speakers Who Are Enthusiastic to Learn Kendo - The Art of Japanese Swordsmanship: A Manual of Eishin-Ryu Iaido --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/2066846-practice-drills-for-japanese-swordsmanship](https://www.desertcart.in/products/2066846-practice-drills-for-japanese-swordsmanship) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
