I training in Bujinkan Ninjutsu in Cape Town, South Africa. It's a reputable school, although it's more of an informal training session with a very small class, 4 people counting the instructor who is a 4th dan. We've trained twice with Dr. Hatsumi.

Thing is, I'm a beginner, and I've only started using sword techniques. We're on christmas break now and I actually forgot how to draw properly so I'm just checking out

Couldn't remember if the right hand grips the bottom of the blade or if it was the left one.

Thanks for clearing it up.

So it would look like this

Right

Correct?

Does the right hand act as an anchor to keep movmenets more controlled?
