Hokushin Itto Ryu Kata

[Kyousuke]

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone happen to know how many kata Hokushin Itto Ryu had? Only number I can find is the "5 Elements" Kata, and Im pretty sure there are more than 5 kata in Hokushin, lol. Thanks for any help guys.

Hi,
maybe this link may interest you: http://www.kendo-world.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18551

I don't know really, of how many kata the curriculum consists, but I practice ono-ha itto ryu, which practices Go-Juppon (50 Victories). These Victories are spread ober 36 Kata. The Video posted above reminds me a lot of these kata, maybe Hokushin itto ryu got the same number?

Hope it helps,

Daniel

Thanks alot man. Yeah I found that video too. Its great. Im not fluent enough to get it all but it seems like they are the kata but I also hear them mention waza. So I dont know if they are showing kata along with waza, though it all looks the same really, lol
