Yabuki Yuji, 18th Headmaster of Ono-ha Ittō-ryū.
Training consists primarily of paired forms (kumitachi) using wooden swords and a pair of characteristic padded gloves called onigote (enormous; literally "demon" gauntlets), which are incorporated into the forms as a striking target for the junior student.
At the more advanced levels, sword drawing techniques and the use of un-sharpened/blunted swords (habiki) are also included.
Such training is a valuable source for the development of agility, physical and mental refinement, self-confidence, command presence, and overall self-development.
