Kurikara The Sword and the Serpent by John Maki Evans

by John Maki Evans

Kurikara: The Sword and the Serpent sets out the eight basic principles of swordsmanship common to all Japanese sword schools emphasizing the cultivation of power and mental focus. Accomplished martial artist John Evans provides practical examples from his experience with the sword arts as well as Mikkyo and shugendo (mountain asceticism). The first foreign student to train with Nakamura Taisaburo sensei—widely acknowledged as the master of the sword art battodo—Evans clearly explains how skill such as Nakamurua sensei’s can be systematically developed through tanren exercises that meld “inner” and “outer” power. Filled with fascinating anecdotes from Evans’s training in Japan Kurikara is a useful inspiring guide to Japanese sword practice and its spiritual underpinnings.
