Flashing Steel Book

Flashing Steel describes and pictures forty-two kata (formal training patterns) which govern Eishin-Ryu swordsmanship, with ten partner exercises applying Iaido principles in realistic attack and defense situations. These kata are also widely practiced by students of kendo, aikido and other martial arts that involve swordsmanship. Written by Master Masayuki Shimabukuro and Leonard J. Pellman, this book is a must for all students of Iaido.
