	Kenjutsu - OTMWiki
		Kenjutsu should not be confused with iaido or iaijutsu, where the former being a modern developmental with both sporting and artistic aspect with a focus on an aesthetics of execution as well the individual-actualization of the practitioner.
		Iaijutsu remains a distinct yet complimentary practice to Kenjutsu in most ryu, but this is not universally correct as many kenjutsu ryu have no iaijutsu training in their syllabus.
		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.

		Otake Risuke is the Shilian (Teaching Master) of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu.
		During kata training in the Shinto Ryu much time and emphasis is not given over to nonessential areas such as the shape of the grip or the placement of the feet.
		The training of the Shinto Ryu is therefore based on how an exponent can respond to and fight against any kind of weapon that they might face on the battlefield.

		Katori Shinto-ryu is also based in Shinto, much like aikido is, and not so much in Zen.
		Katori is taught much more on an individual basis, because you can’t teach fifty Katori students at a time, like you might in an aikido class.
		We did change the oath a bit, in that in the original Katori oath, if you broke the rules you had to submit to the punishment of the deity of the Katori Shinto-ryu.

		This organization is the source from which most classical Japanese martial ryu (martial traditions) have evolved; and, consequently, from these ryu many kinds of bujutsu (martial arts) have appeared.
		The fact that the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu has been able to continue in its pure form to the present day is the reason why it has become an important Japanese cultural asset.
		Under such circumstances it is natural that I should feel an urgent need to hand down the teachings of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu, as an important Japanese cultural property, in their correct form for posterity".

		Shin Kage Ryu has its origins with Kamiizumi Hidetsuga (Aka Nobutsuna) who was a student of Matsumoto Masanobu (d 1543) or a fellow student of his his teacher Izasa Yamashiro no Kami Choisai of the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu; Japans oldest recorded and still existant Ryu.
		This Ryu represents the sword techniques of the Aizu clan, which were passed on by Aizu Hyuga No Kami (Aisu Ikosai 1452-1538) who was involved, although in what capacity is unknown, in piracy along the Korean and Chinese Coasts.
		Here we see a clear separation between the Kage Ryu lineage and the Aizu clan, this however is not surprising as during the battles between the warlords Uesugi and Takeda, it was the Aizu who were the retainers to the Takeda clan.
