17th September, 11am – 12 noon

Come along and learn about the strikingly beautiful art of the Japanese sword, Mugai Ryu, during a demonstration at the perfect location of the Japanese Rest House, Batsford Arboretum. Mugai Ryu is an old, authentic martial art of the Samurai, founded in 1693. Its founder was a Buddhist monk, and the style has a deep connection to Zen Buddhism.  Simple and direct, it has a plain beauty with a characteristic calmness and sharp attention.
