THUNDER-SWORD

There are a lot of postures in swordsmanship.

"Jodan-no-kamae" is to set up the sword
above my chest (or shoulder).

"Jodan-no-kamae" is called "Rai-tou" in
YAGYU-SHINKAGE-RYU Swordsmanship.

"Rai-tou" is a meaning of the sword of thunder.

Why is it called "THUNDER"?

It is because no one knows where it falls and when.!
