Title: Save your money, buy cat food instead
Review: As a student of Itto Tenshin Ryu Kenjutsu (a classical Japanese sword fighting technique used by samurai) I must state that this book is a grotesque-horrible bastardization of samurai swordsmanship. Not to mention, you are most certainly going to get yourself hurt if you try to do what is described in this book.Even as a cardio-workout, you are going to tare your body up. Why? the exercises in this book do not match the proper footwork with the appropriate cuts. Also, this type of moment combined with the hyper extension of the body displaces your center of gravity and will unevenly load your joints. An Olympic gymnast may be able to do this workout, but that does not make it right, and especially not right for someone trying to get into shape.If you are a practitioner of the Japaneses sword and want a good laugh; then, by all means buy this book. You will laugh so hard you will commit seppuku.
