About this user
I studied Kuroda Han, Yagyu Shinkage-Ryu, Heiho, Aratsu-Kai, a traditional japanese sword style, for 9 years whilst living in Japan. This traditional Japanese sword style has a well documented and honorable history dating back over 600 years. It was chosen by the last 3 Shoguns (warlords) of Japan as the number 1 sword style. I was presented with the Kaiden Menkyo (sword teaching license) and the title Shihan before I left Japan for Australia in January, 2011. I am the only foreigner in this style to be granted permission to teach this sword style outside of Japan.
