One of Japan’s foremost experts on Kendo Kata and it’s history and philosophy. Inoue Sensei was the author of Kendo Kata: Essence and Application among other titles. Although his philosophy is applied to kendo, Inoue Sensei’s acute understanding of Budo makes his words applicable across all Japanese martial Arts.
