After the warmup, we continued our study of Kukishin Ryu Dakentaijutsu 九鬼神流打拳体術 (Nine Demon Gods School, striking body art), refreshing 'Seion' and moving on to the second kata from the shoden gata: 'Uyoku' 烏翼 (crow wing).

We then looked at the basic cuts from the Biken no Ho of this school, and practiced the first and second sword kata, along with their sayu gyaku; Tsuki Komi 附込 (attach and push in) & Tsuki Gake 突掛 (thrust and trap).
