Sword of the Kuki Samurai moves beyond legend to examine the sword as it existed within a living martial tradition shaped by discipline, strategy, responsibility, and direct experience.Written from the perspective of a lifelong practitioner, Bujinkan instructor, and founder of Florida Budo, this book draws from more than forty years of training and study within Japanese martial traditions, especially Kukishinden Ryu. Through historical discussion, technical analysis, and philosophical reflection, the manuscript explores the deeper principles behind swordsmanship, including posture, timing, distance, awareness, cutting mechanics, tactical reasoning, and mental composure under strain.More than a manual of technique, this work examines how martial training shapes character and judgment over time.
