whatss the fighting style where you can use the katana and wakizashi togethor?and can you learn it in america?

Question

please give me all of the information you can of it

Answer 1

That particular type of Kenjutsu 剣術 is called Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū, founded by Mushashi Miyamoto 宮本 武蔵 (originally named, Takezo Shinmen, son of Munasai Shinmen).

Now, fighting with two swords was used in combat, but Musashi was the first man to systematically create an entire system around that functional mentality.

Now, this particular style and ryu-ha in question is NOT taught within US shores, it's taught in Japan only.

Now, we do have elements of nito (two sword) techniques within the Bujinkan. Our 33rd Soke Toshitsugu Takamatsu took elements of it into our systems taijutsu due to his friendship with the Niten Ichi's Ryu's Soke of the time.

We don't teach it as a unilateral focus, but it's taught in conjunction with our taijutsu as one starts to master using a single sword alone.

Answer 2

simplest answer is there isn't a best fighting style, they all have strengths and weaknesses, find a good instructor and put the time and patience in and you will have a great style, if you have poor teacher the style doesn't matter, but a good teacher can make the style work for you. the other simple answer is that there are very few Masters that could take on more than 2-3 people and that would be no more them quickly making room for an exit. Masters will tell you, blackbelts will tell you, and blue belts will all tell you that it is best not to engage with multiple opponents. carry pepper spray and take up an art with a good instructor that YOU like, it doesn't matter what art your friends do, or what art we tell you to do, pick one that you like and keep at it. there isn't an art that specializes in multiple opponents and if a school says they do then turn and walk away. You might learn skills that would help in a multiple opponent fight, but that is few and far between and probably only if they attack individually and not all at once.. the best advice I have is when confronted and you can't escape behind you- push or hit one into another one (preferable an outside on to and inside one) and run through the gap created. don't expect to go to the ground with them and submit them to win, you leave yourself completely vulnerable AND submissions are only for competitions and class. krav maga is a great self defense system, but again quality instructors are either in Israel or in the military and police forces and rarely teach outside classes. it is devastating, but still doesn't fully focus on the multiple attacker aspect of street defense and it will take you the same amount of time as with any art to master it to where you probably could take 2-3 guys somewhat effectively (remember anything can still happen in a street fight, no matter what training you have). just don't buy into the "just a few classes and your street ready" type mentality that a lot of krav maga practitioners/trainers will have.
