  • Kenjutsu(剣術) is the umbrella term for all traditional (koryū) schools of Japanese swordsmanship, in particular those that predate the Meiji Restoration and the modern styles of kendo and iaido that emerged from the traditional schools in the late 19th century. Kenjutsu, which originated with the samurai class of feudal Japan, means "the method, or technique, of the sword." This is opposed to kendo, which means "the way of the sword". The exact activities and conventions undertaken when practicing kenjutsu vary from school to school, where the word school here refers to the practice, methods, ethics, and metaphysics of a given tradition, yet commonly include practice of battlefield techniques without opponent and techniques where two persons paired kata (featuring full contact strikes to the body in some styles and no body contact strikes permitted in others). Historically schools incorporated sparring under a variety of conditions, from using solid wooden bokutō to use of bamboo sword (shinai) and armor (bogu). In modern times sparring in Japanese swordsmanship is more strongly associated with Kendo.

  • Kenjutsu (剣術, Art of the Sword) is the umbrella term for all five hundred schools of Japanese swordsmanship. As opposed to Kendo, which means "Way of the Sword", kenjutsu trains swordsmen (or kenshi) in the use of actual sword techniques for combat rather than as a meditative discipline. Though Japanese swordsmanship has roots in the 4th century, kenjutsu in its recognized form began in the Muromachi period, the end of which is known as the Sengoku Jidai or "Warring States period". The schools of kenjutsu which survived the Sengoku Jidai proliferated for decades until finally reaching over five hundred styles during the Edo period and resulting in advancements to training techniques and equipment, such as the shinai (bamboo practice sword), which allowed for safer, more effective training sessions as opposed to the old method of using bokken (wooden katana) or live blades. However, with the start of the Meiji Restoration and the dissolution of the samurai class in 1868, kenjutsu fell into decline as a painful reminder of the centuries of military rule as well as the bloody Bakumatsu. In all styles and schools of kenjutsu, there are nine categories of strikes. Every single move, offensive or defensive fits into one of these. * Karatake (Kirioroshi) - Down on the top of the head * Kesagiri - Angled down at the left shoulder * Sakagesa - Angled down at right shoulder * Miginagi (Dō) - Laterally at the right side * Hidarinagi (Gyakudō) - Laterally at the left side * Migikiriage - Angled up at the right side * Hidarikiriage - Angled up at the left side at an angle * Sakakaze (Kiriage) - Up from the ground * Tsuki - A forward strike, piercing at the shortest distance Zone - In kenjutsu, an important concept is that of the range or zone. The zone is the distance in which a swordsman can attack using only one movement and depends on many factors such as the reach of his weapon, the reach of his opponent's weapon and each swordsman's level of mobility. While a longer weapon might grant greater reach, it also leaves more blind spots and openings in defense Zantetsu - The act of cutting steel, which certain particularly skilled swordsmen were said to have mastered. Shirahadori - A defensive move in which the user grasps of catches an enemy's blade with his bare hands, shirahadori is a difficult and acquired skill, but is also the only move shared between all five hundred schools of kenjutsu.

  • The entire military might of the lone samurai nation of the Land of Iron, have so-far all been depicted as practitioners of kenjutsu. Among the shinobi nations, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are particularly well known as kenjutsu practitioners.
  • Kenjutsu (剣術, kenjutsu) (Lit. Trans: "Sword Methods") is a form of mutual partnered practice that is almost exclusively exercised through kata. Kenjutsu in conjunction to kata is the core means by which Koryu (Old Schools) Bujutsu (Martial Methods) train their student to employ the Japanese swords against a variety of classical weapons, while indoctrinating the student in the ryu's approach to combat. Kenjutsu is not a system in itself nor is it an art like origami or aikido, instead kenjutsu is the name given to partnered exercises were one or both participants use a a sword or bokken. Therefore kenjutsu can be seen to form an integral aspect of many Koryu's curriculum, in conjunction with other combative disciplines of the ryu, such as iaijutsu amongst others. Kenjutsu should not be confused with iaido or iaijutsu, were both are arts with a different focus on aesthetics and the speed of the draw as well as a distinct yet complimentary practice to Kenjutsu. The role of iaijutsu is as solo practice of the sword performed against an imagined opponent who is usually seen to be armed with a sword that allows the practitioner of the ryu to perfect the execution of techniques which he/she will later employ in his/her kenjutsu without the stresses of a partnered practice. Another general distinction between iaijutsu and kenjutsu was the condition of the sword at the start of the kata - in iaijutsu, the sword begins sheathed and the emphasis is on a few initial cuts, while in kenjutsu, the sword begins unsheathed, and the emphasis is on both attack and defense. This distinction is however not consistent as some kenjutsu kata's start with the sword sheathed. This distinction based on sheathing has lead some people to falsely assume that iaijutsu is a practice aimed at the self defense of a Samurai. Based on the hypothesized that through the practice of iai a Samurai would be able to quickly draw his sword in response to a surprise attack. This is however a modern construct as any combatant taken by a surprise attack would stand little chance of surviving an attack. In addition there is also little to no focus on the speed of draw in any Koryu nor is their any record of such fast draw practices having ever existed in the makimono (the hereditary scrolls containing information about the ryu which are passed down from generation to generation starting with the founder) of any Koryu Bujutsu style. Today many Koryu schools that employ kenjutsu a part of their curriculum are intact and some are even thriving on a relatively small scale, such as Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu, Kashima Shinto-ryu, Kashima Shin-ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu, Yagyu Shinkage-ryu. Some schools trace their lineage to the early years of the Tokugawa shogunate. Many other ryu can legitimately trace their history from the originators dating back to the 13th century, such as Maniwa Nen-ryu (Date founded: 1368) or Tatsumi-ryu (Date founded: Eisho period 1504-1520) or Kashima Shinryu (Date founded: ca. 1450 ). The equipment employed in kenjutsu exercises has changed little in almost 500 year with most schools employing a ryu specific bokken or bokoto that while being made out of wood allows the student to gain an understanding of mechanics of a sword without the cost of damaged blades or danger that a real sword will entail. Some schools employ a fukuro shinai (a mock bamboo sword covered with leather or cloth) under circumstances were the student lacks the ability to safety control a bokken at full speed. The practice of using a fukuro shinai was however not adopted from Kendo as the invention of the fukuro shinai dates back to the 15th century. Most ryu also practice kenjutsu at advance levels with unsharpened steel swords. A distinguishing feature of many kenjutsu schools is the use of a paired odachi and kodachi/shoto commonly refereed to Nitojutsu or two sword methods. The most famous exponent of Nitojutsu was Miyamoto Musashi Fujiwara Genshin, (1584-1645) the founder of Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu. Nitojutsu is not however unique to Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu nor was Nitojutsu the creation of Miyamoto Musashi. Both Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu founded early Muromachi period (ca. 1447) and Tatsumi-ryu founded Eisho period (1504-1520) contain extensive Nitojutsu Kenjutsu curriculums while also preceding the establishment of Miyamoto Musashi's - Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu.

  • Kenjutsu is the historical conglomerate of Japanese sword arts, sometimes referred to as JSA. The way most fictional media tells it, students of the Japanese sword can achieve insane levels of skill and do things that outright defy physics and logic. Like all types of propaganda, the anecdotes about users of the katana have some basis in fact, with the amount of truth varying from source to source. Kenjutsu schools often have a well-preserved lineage, unlike, unfortunately, its European counterparts. Because of this, we know a lot more about how the samurai used their weaponry in battle than we do about how knights and men-at-arms of Europe used theirs, despite the misconceptions surrounding Japanese weaponry and the growing body of knowledge of European swordplay. If one were to compare schools of Japanese fencing to schools of European fencing, one would find many similarities, but also significant differences. Due to the consistent nature of katanas, the design change in which is near negligible compared to alterations in European swords, the Japanese schools differentiate from one-another on much more subtle basis. Where a European school might differ from another on basic technical grounds, a Japanese school is more likely to define its differences in terms of how to achieve an end result (e.g. an attack to the head) rather than what this end result is. This is not to say that the European arts lack subtlety, but the context of Japanese sword arts demanded a higher emphasis on matters that some would consider quite minor, such as "one school lets the sword tip fall back as they arm, its sibling school does not." The word "kenjutsu" can either refer to Japanese sword arts as a whole, or to the subset of teachings that focus on action occurring after the two combatants have already drawn their swords. Another branch of Japanese sword arts is iaijutsu, which is about techniques that start before one has noticed a threat. Generally, the techniques taught in iaijutsu have the same general structure: Make a quick attack as you draw the sword, grip it with both hands and deliver the finishing blow, wipe or shake off the blood, return the sword to the scabbard, all the while maintaining awareness towards possible new threats. A subset of iaijutsu is battojutsu, which, depending on definition, is similar to iaijutsu but focuses on multiple cuts after the draw and includes test cutting practice as part of its curriculum. Kenjutsu was developed, on the whole, entirely within Japan during the periods of isolation. This is why it sometimes appears, to students of European swordplay, to be an example of Crippling Overspecialization. The katana and similar swords were, after all, designed and made to fight against one another. Japanese swordplay uses the following weapons: * Katana: The sword that most people immediately think of. It was three feet or so long, with approximately a quarter of that as the hilt. * Wakizashi: The shorter companion sword to the katana, usually about two feet long. Used in two-sword forms or in some single forms. It was considered the "indoor" sword; samurai didn't use the katana indoors, because of low ceilings, etiquette and the like. * Naginata: Blade on a Stick. This was the Japanese anti-cavalry weapon developed after the first Mongol invasion in 1274. The naginata is traditionally considered to be the weapon of a samurai woman, and often presented as part of her dowry; however, this is a more recent view than people usually think. A few arts have curricula devoted to fighting with it. * Yari: Spear. Usually about six feet long or so, used for thrusting and cutting similar to a Chinese spear. * Bo: Simple Staff. Commonly about six feet long. * Bokken: Trope Maker for Wooden Katanas Are Even Better. See that page for details. * Iaito: This is a cheaper mock-up of a katana, with a dulled edge, made (usually) of an aluminium-zinc alloy or stainless steel. It's used by beginning students of iaijutsu who have "outgrown" the use of a bokken. It allows a beginner to practice without worrying if they'll harm their sword or themselves somehow. * Shinai: Mock sword made from four strips of flexible bamboo around a hollow core, used in Kendo to facilitate contact practice. Some traditional ryu also use shinai, although of a notably different structure than the ones used for Kendo. The first thing that a would-be initiate notices when observing a practice for the first time is the amount of ritual involved: bowing to the kamiza, to the sword, to training partners, when crossing swords etc. This is a holdover from when the arts were widely practiced by samurai; Japanese culture places extreme emphasis on etiquette. More pragmatically, etiquette involving the sword is there for safety purposes; someone drawing a sword in iai practice without observing standard protocol could be mistaken as intent on attacking someone. Here are a few common points, by no means a complete list: * Metal swords are always sheathed when not in use, and are not used without at least a hint of a pre-practice ritual. * The blade and/or the handle are oriented towards specific directions when placing the sword on the floor (e.g. for torei) or giving it to someone else. Exact details vary. * Swords other than one's own are never handled without permission. If this becomes necessary, the sword is treated with utmost care and respect; samurai believed that their swords represented their souls and deserved complete respect. The lethality of the blade might have had something to do with it, too. * The blade of a sword is never touched with one's fingers, with the rare example of a half-swording technique. Not only is this considered disrespectful, the oils from the human skin can corrode the blade. * Swords are always stepped around, not over. * Even practice weapons such as the bokken or shinai are treated as though they have a live edge. Uniformly, the usual clothing for a kenjutsu practice has been a gi (large jacket) and hakama (wide pleated pants), the common everyday clothes of feudal Japan. Colours did vary across schools and between seasons; generally, the hakama is black or dark grey, whereas the gi is navy blue or black. Higher-level practitioners may be permitted to wear a white hakama.
