Product Description

The Swordsmanship Secrets of Master Yukiyoshi Sagawa

Master “Aiki” Through Swordsmanship!

The "Aiki of the Sword," passed down from Yukiyoshi Sagawa to Keisetsu Yoshimaru, is finally revealed!

The signature techniques of the "Sagawa-style Daito Ryu," Aiki-age (Aiki lift) and Aiki-sage (Aiki drop), are fundamental in taijutsu (body techniques). However, in swordsmanship, these concepts correspond directly to lifting the sword (Aiki-age) and striking downward (Aiki-sage). This video introduces "Sagawa-style Daito Ryu Aiki Kenjutsu," where I, Shoji Arimitsu, have organized the techniques inherited from Master Yukiyoshi Sagawa and Master Keisetsu Yoshimaru into a structured system. The content is designed to help practitioners at all levels, from beginners to advanced students, connect with the core of "Aiki." I hope it proves to be a valuable resource for your training.
