Iron Forest Style (TCG)

 Iron Forest Style  kata taught a bushi that a spear could control their spacing with their opponent very efficiently, forcing their foe to risk impalement each time they advanced or catching loose clothes or stray body parts on the head of the weapon. Akodo's Leadership referred to such a technique as the Iron Forest style, turning the length of a single spear into an insurmountable gap for a would-be attacker.
