is there any kata with two same sized katana? because anytime I look up kata from Niten Ichi Ryu I only see one wakizashi and one katana when I look up Niten Ichi Ryu. Anyway, Great Video just too bad there isn't any dojo in my neighbourhood where I can practice this wonderful art :(
Because the traditional pair of swords of the samurai (called "daisho") contained of a short and a long sword, there are only kata with this combination in the traditional japanese koryu (old schools).
Look for korean "Kumdo"; there are at least dancers who use two swords simultaneously quite similar to the katana.
i supose there would be, but it woulds be easier with a wakizashi & katana, rather than duel katana

Thank you very much for such nicely preformed Nito Katas!
Such a thing is rare and very useful!
