One of the things I love about Ogawa Ryu Kenjutsu is the use of the kashira (pommel). We are taught that you should use all parts of the katana, so this is wonderful to see. There is a lot of kyojitsu (deception) in Ogawa Ryu sword, which is very important in true cases. It was wonderful to see some training in the snow :-D Also, the capacity and control of using the sword one-handed to bring the weapon into range without having to close distance with your body - beautiful :-D
That was an amazing demo! I really wish Iaido had such person to person training.
