Within the latter [Araki-ryu]'s curriculum is a very important kata set... a study of heavy-armor grappling techniques utilizing dual iai... short sword against long sword (Amdur, 2002).
This quote comes from Ellis Amdur's book Old School. I have no idea what these kata are like, but I find it very interesting that he describes them as grappling kata that begin with short sword vs. long sword iai.

My opinion is, in all likelihood, worth exactly what you are paying for it.
