I can only see two sword videos, one slowed down and this Personally I am not inspired but it is a different school so I will not speak more on that. The dojo you ask about appears to have its own youtube channel.
I find this 'interesting' against what is stated on the NJ dojo page you linked. The school's founder, John Hamilton Sensei, is an internationally renown instructor and the founder of Sho-Ha Shorin Ryu Karate.the japanese sword style featured is Nitto Tenshin Ryu Kenjutsu, a style originated by Musashi Going back to the Tenshin people,the (presumably same) John Hamilton seemed to have a differnt set of skills in different arts in 2005 according to this Plenty of people do more than one but don't claim to hold all ranks in all arts. I would say that at best it could create confusion to lump all qualifications for all arts in together. Here's an example from Muso Shinden Ryu, Jock Hopson, who is arguably the most senior MSR Iaido man in the UK: Jock Hopsonħth Dan Kyoshi Kendo, 7th Dan Kyoshi Iaido Not that all arts are the same, but as a reference, I train in Muso Shinden Ryu iaido where it would be normal for someone holding all of these qualifications to be described as: Sensei Sensei -'teacher', typically the head of a dojo.Renshi- 'senior teacher', not as senior as 'kyoshi'- 'master teacher' or shihan- so not sure why you would use both at the same time.
Shihan - 'model teacher', not often used.It is at best 'unusual' to see all of these titles together. and expertise in many arts, which is generally a bad sign. Looking at the instructors' page there are no current links to Japan for sword arts. The name is very similar to 'Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu' which is respected as a kobudo (ancient Japanese martial art) but is no relation to it.
I am afraid that all I found out about led me to conclude that it is made up by westerners within the last 20 years.
