Utagawa Kuniyoshi Netsuke: Cat Skull

Our Kokai Katan Club, led by Katani Kuni Hoden Katsu, is dedicated to the art of wielding the katana. The members of our club are passionate about mastering the techniques and skills necessary to become skilled swordsmen. We take inspiration from the ancient warriors who wielded the katana with precision and grace.

Katani Kuni Hoden Katsu, also known as Cat Skull, is a highly respected sensei who has dedicated his life to teaching the way of the katana. Under his guidance, our club members have learned the importance of discipline, focus, and honor in the practice of this traditional Japanese martial art.

In our club, we train diligently to perfect our swordsmanship. We practice the fundamental stances, strikes, and parries, striving to embody the spirit of the samurai in every movement. Through rigorous training sessions, we aim to cultivate not only physical strength but also mental fortitude and agility.

Beyond the physical aspects of swordsmanship, our club also emphasizes the spiritual and philosophical elements of the art. We study the history of the katana and its place in Japanese culture, as well as the principles of Bushido, the way of the warrior. We believe that the katana is not just a weapon, but a symbol of honor, loyalty, and self-discipline.

As a club, we regularly participate in demonstrations and competitions to showcase our skills and to continue improving our craft. We also hold seminars and workshops to share our knowledge with others who are interested in learning the art of the katana.

Through our dedication to the practice of the katana, we hope to preserve its traditions and pass down its teachings to future generations. We believe that the virtues instilled by the way of the katana have lasting value, both on and off the battlefield. With the guidance of Katani Kuni Hoden Katsu, our club members are committed to upholding the legacy of the katana and continuing to honor its rich heritage.
