"This memorial edition of Flashing Steel is the premier guide to Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu. It is dedicated to Hanshi Masayuki Hidenobu Shimabukuro's drive to continued learning and improvement. He sought to add to his skills, testing himself, and to then pass the knowledge on. The information he possessed and the drive he sought to instill in us changed us as we learned and practiced." --John Mills, founder of Mills Seito Family Dojo and instructor of karate-do, Okinawa kobujutsu, iaijutsu, and jojutsu "It is here for the interested martial artist, for the iaido practitioner/enthusiast: Flashing Steel, 25th Anniversary Edition ! With vast expertise and high skill, the beautiful art of Eishin-ryu swordsmanship is presented in detail by the late Masayuki Shimabukuro and Mr. Leonard Pellman. This comprehensive volume speaks for itself with its quality, thoroughness, and in-depth photographs and detailed techniques. I encourage all iaido practitioners, expert and novice alike, to obtain this awesome text for solid reference and their personal library." --Sterling Moore, karate instructor, iaido practitioner, Samurai jujutsu instructor, and founder of Warrior Quest and Fitness

- a***h (25)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was competitively priced, ordering was easy, the book was well packaged and arrived safely, and its condition was exactly as specified.The delivery time from ordering to mailbox was a little long (14 days), but overall it was a good experience and I would use this seller again.
- n***a (190)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy kid really wanted this, and she likes it. I don’t think the value is great, just more HP commercialism. (She paid me and I ordered, btw.) The price from this seller on eBay is less than anywhere else we found. Reviews citing LONG wait between order and receiving the items are correct: give this seller a full 2 weeks to get items to you. The set arrived carefully packaged and pristine. Overall, my daughter is very pleased with the item. If you can be patient, seller offers good value.
