In this video we explore the the evolution of traditional martial arts in Japan and how they seek to survive in modern day, all specifically through the lens of the Taisha-ryu sword school.

This video has been made with the help of members of Taisha-ryu Daniel Trauner and Alex Allera who helped to write the majority of the script.
