Two new ZNKR iaido kata

12 - Junihonme Nukiuchi

From standing position take both hands to the sword (right hand to Tsuka and left hand to Koiguchi). Take your left foot back and draw your sword in Uke Nagashi, then bring it above your head as you take your right foot back as well. Take your left hand to Tsuka and immediately step forward with your right foot to cut down your opponent.

Take the right foot back behind the left foot, and perform Yoko Chiburi at the end of this movement. Perform Noto as usual.

Take one step forward to return to the original position.

1. On the draw, the tsuka moves up as in Sougiri.
2. The movement is similar to the first Kendo long sword kata.
3. When drawing the right foot backwards during the evasion, it should remain slightly before the left foot.
