Katayama Hōki Ryū iai kumitachi

[dmwood]

I practice Hoki Ryu in the U.S. Interesting to see the kumi tachi. It gives a different perspective to the kata.

@dmwood

You're definitely right; the fighting is the final purpose of every Japanese koryu. Thanks ^__^

@dmwood

after a year of further research and personal reflection I may say that koryu had a wider perspective than fighting

Thank you.

It comes from "Tsuki Dome" iai kata of the omote group.

@gaxxag Suio Ryu also has a similar deflection type movement with the tsuka.
