I took some notes please see "FILES" I saved the file as htm but a
link didn't show up as a clickable link. One of the characters,
Matsunosuke, is an Aizu samurai and good archer. Although not
mentioned in the book, Japanese archery kyudo/kyujutsu, has a feature
where the bow rotates as the arrow is released, hence the need for an
arm guard because it rotates and hit the other side of your arm. I
got screen caps to illustrate this from 1/47 ronin

I thought I mentioned this because many mainstream martial arts book
do not illustrate this detail very well...movies can be great
learning tools ^_^
Will someone please recommend this book to an English language teacher
who works in Aizu...selected excerpts from the book can be used to
enhance the learning experience.
