Haiya-Te is a style of classical Japanese swordsmanship conceived by the legendary warrior Iesada Gensai and famous lieutenant Kuroyama Norikazu. Haiya-Te is mainly known for the single-sword, katana, kenjutsu techniques Iesada called ashi dageki ("leg strike") and shi kageki("extreme death").

Origin

A general in the Takeno Shogunate founded this style. His pupil Norikazu mastered and redid this style. After Iesada had died and Norikazu left the Takeno Shogunate with his brother he added to the fast paced style. On his way to the Kaga Province he took many elements from other ronin, even monks to add into this style.
