Katori Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu is a classical martial art focusing on sword fighting techniques. They train to fight with traditional samurai weapons such as the long and short sword, fighting staff, spear, and naginata (halberd). Modern kendo and iaido were born from the older schools of kenjutsu but Katori Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu techniques focus on the complete warrior who can utilize all weapons in practical combat at full speed.
