This is a Japanese shurikenjustu and kenjutsu style. Miyamoto Musashi was reportedly the founder of this school, which involves throwing a 40cm blade, probably a tanto (knife). This comes from a story of a duel between Musashi and Shishido, an expert of the kusari-gama. As Shishido pulled out his chain, Musashi threw a dagger and struck him in the chest, killing him. The credited founder of this school is Shibuki Shinjuro, who developed this style during the Edo period.
Training for this school can be found in Japan.

Costume: Street clothes.
Stance: When carrying both swords, they are held together in the left hand, the daito is held most left by the pinkie and the shoto with the other fingers in such a way that the shoto tsuka (hilt) points up more than the daito tsuka (hilt). The left arm is held straight down, the swords are brought to the hip only when something happens, like a bow for example or when you're about to draw the sword. When the shoto is inserted in the belt (which it is before starting the nito set), the daito tsuka (hilt) is higher. To draw, the right hand grasps the daito, the left hand takes the shoto from below and both are drawn together so as not to cut a hand off. When performing throwing attacks, Upright, legs shoulder width apart, hands held loosely depending on the location/availability of throwing objects.
