Hôki-ryû

From SwordWiki

The style of Hoki Ryu Iaido contains many of the same techniques as other systems, but includes some additional movements. The most substantial difference is in the ending posture of all kata, that of Garyuu-no-Kamae or Reclining Dragon Stance. In addition, Hoki Ryu Iaido uses a battlefield Noto that is much less pronounced than that of Eishinn Ryu.

Currently almost all Hoki Ryu Iaido practitioners are located in Japan, except for some small groups in the Midwest United States and Italy.
