Are there any out there that are worth watching as far as Japanese sword arts? Which one would you rate as being the best instructional video?

What art and style do you have in mind? JSA is a very broad realm.

Well, I currently study Ninpo Taijutsu, and have seen a few videos from this art, but Im pretty much thinking about picking anything up from the general Samurai arts, mostly Kenjitsu but would be open to mixing in some Iaido.

If it is Iaido that you are looking for, here is some YouTube video of Sensei Alex DeCosta. The techniques that he displays in these videos are slow enough so that you can follow them. His technique is very clean, strong and easy to follow. Hope you enjoy them.

Id rather study something that is primarily Kenjitsu mixed with Iaido. Iaido is important, but Id rather focus more on when the sword is already drawn.
I might check it out though since you recomend it.

If you want kenjutsu+iaijutsu (the more practical version of drawing), try katori shinto ryu. There are plenty good vids on youtube.

if you are looking to spend and $$ on this, James Williams of Bugei has done some videos on both Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu, I have not heard much about the videos themselves, but Mr. Williams has a good reputation, the one caveat is the price. heres a url bugei.com/product_1072_detailed.htmhope this helps
