Kuroda Tetsuzan, sensei of the Shinbukan Kuroda Dojo, is the Soke (leader/Head) of several ancient Samurai military disciplines. Kuroda sensei inherited this knowledge through his family line, and is the headmaster of the Kuroda family martial legacy. The arts that he has inherited include: - Komagawa-Kaishin ryu kenjitsu - Shishin-Takuma ryu jujitsu - Tamiya ryu-iaijitsu - Tsubaki-Kotengu ryu bojitsu - Seigyoku-Ogurirryi Sakkatsujitsu Kuroda sensei began his training at the age of 5 and was trained by both his father and his grandfather Kuroda Yasuji. At the age of twenty, Kuroda Sensei was awarded Hanshi Hachidan in Kobudo by the Dai Nippon Butokukai. This was a national record in Japan for such a young person to be given such a high rank. Kuroda Sensei is the fifteenth Soke of his family's system. He is known for his "Disappearing" or "Hidden Movements".

Kuroda is an exceptional martial artist preserving one of the few unchanged, pre-meiji battlefield arts still around today. The host was a bit annoying to me though.

You said, "...martial arts are a branch of one main style" True in certain cases(especially in the case of karate and hapkido), but not totally accurate, as many countries have developed their own seperate arts. For example, Capoeira from Angola to Brazil, French Savate, Muay Thai, etc. But it true that fighting concepts can be found in more than one style, just packaged differently according to the given culture and philosophy.

Ownage.

[LowdenFretter]

the guy is just rolling over when the master finger wrestles him.lol

[LowdenFretter]

I love martial arts, right up to the point when it gets silly with all this finger wrestling and the episode where the guy screams and almost knocks his opponent out and then proceeds to ring a huge bell by screaming at it, oh, that's right, while he slams his foot on the floor. Could it be the slamming foot ringing the bell maybe? hmmm

I enjoyed Your Short Clip

@TheGreaterGood80 How did Chris Crudelli become known as fraudulent?

[darktee]

His sword control and speed are amazing. Joy to watch

[TraceurMeeka]

@roshagawa He was just pointing to the different parts of the body the swordsman was attacking, and saying the parts independently of his gestures, stop looking for flaws and be happy someone spends their time making videos like these for you.

@Cillik1 The proper names for all of the styles that Kuroda Tetsuzan practices can be found in the information section under the video. Just hit the 'show more'.
