Wow. This book is going to get someone hurt. Bad. In looking at his little stick figures, two things I find:
1) It is difficult to figure what exactly is supposed to be happening here in each "technique",
2)In the sword training that I received (not saying I'm a master, now), in the Kukishinden ryu, sword fights happen in 3 dimensions, not one, and that is where I feel Clements makes his biggest and most dangerous mistake: all I have ever seen him move in is one dimension: back and forth. This book reflects this.
This trash belongs on the trash heap, where it won't get anyone hurt.
P.S. this review may not mean a thing as the Kukishinden ryu of swordplay is for the battlefield. It is actual combat with a sword. This book suggests dueling.
