not Shinken

I like iaijutsu better for the sole reason that he does the blood flick move.

Great job!, a pleasure to watch my friend👋🏻😁⚔️

Hello from Canada… are you still practicing and making videos?

4:35 he screw the video

Really nice video, but a version without the music would be great :-)

thank you, really good video! domo!

Can I know the background music bro

Nice work! I am currently a Kenjutsu/ Iaijutsu/ jujitsu instructor and an online student in Asayama Ichiden Ryu. I also had experience in MJIR Iaido. To untrained eyes, Iaido and iaijutsu look the same but they are fundamentally very different as you are figuring out. I wish you the best in your training!

Hi there. You are doing very well! Would I correct to guess you study Shinden Ryu? Just noticed the sageo placement. The second kesa cut on kesa-giri was sweet! If you don't mind me pointing out a few things from a seasoned iaido-ka. When rising after noto during mae through tsuka-ate, try not to lean forward, it looks as if you are pushing off your front leg like you are tired. Rise up as if being pulled from a string attached to the top of your head, it might sound silly, but it helps if you squeeze your inner thighs together. Curious, you don't do a stomp during the "ate" in tsuka-ate? During the ate, try not to lean into the strike, when you do the tsuka drops before you strike. The tsuka should shoot straight out. Tsuka-ate is my favorite out of Seitei. Keep on swingin' my brother!

S'il exécute un peu plus rapide le SHOMEN UCHI et LE YOKO GURUMA après le NOTO. 😊.Ce serait pas si mal

As I understand it Iaido is about doing moves from normal positions. If you have serious long-term knee injuries, seiza is about as normal as standing on your head...

This just looks like two Iaido styles. Iaido and Iaijutsu are completely different. Iaido draw dose not account for the wakizashi, which is always in your belt. Iaido brings hand to tsuka and pulls out the blade. Iaijutsu brings the handle out to your hand and draws back the saya in a position where the sword is already extended out. Iaido always faces the direction they are going to cut where Iaijutsu sometimes cuts from various directions. Iaido generally cuts, stops, cuts again…. Iaijutsu generally had multiple cuts without ever stopping the motion of f the blade. Iaijutsu generally has sensitivity training, unknown attack response and uses the saya, tsuka, tsuba as weapons setting up opportunities to draw. To un-trained eyes they might look the same but they are completely different in a multitude of ways.

cool

These are the basic iaido moves ?

Thanks 🙏

Hope your keeping well. Your videos are great. I think your overdue an update video :)

you are a true samurai

Thank you for pointing this . I have right knee , completely worn out from arthrose. Seiza is no longer an option.

Merci sensei de depasser le carcan des conventions et de choisir la souplesse et l adaptabilite

dull sword, bad form.

Once again a great video. Could you please do a video showing the difference between musoshinden ryu omori ryu noto, chuburi ect and ZNKR. Thank you

Hello ! I stumbled across this, figured I'd watch for old time's sake, and I haven't put a video out in forever! So wanted to say Hi through the medium we used to communicate, to be positive I met a woman, and one who stufies budo! And training got more intense, so no videos for me....but what about you? I haven't seen much, and I hope you're ok and doing well in life! You were rocking a shinken in some of the last videos I saw of yours, and it made so many Sword Friends smile;)

Not only the knee factor Shugyo, we as westerners do not do almost everything in seiza, do not get me wrong, I am not critizicing I love the way of life of the japanese, but starting Iaido at 30 years old doing seiza for the first time is painful, I do Iaido now in seiza with knee pads, but having the option to do it standing up is great, thanks and congratulations for your videos, cheers!

Does anyone know a place in the US to get good starter bokuto and accessories?

Thank you for sharing, I was wondering if this sword was a Chinese made sword?

at 7.40 you start all 4 kata`s but after chiburi you dont switch legs,as you showed in the beginning? do you need to switch legs or not when you do kata?

Hi Namazu I would like to thank you again for posting this video .I will definitely use it as a guide to enhance what I have learned or forgotten during the lesson at my dojo. You are a great help to me.

Hi Senpai, genius idea… still new to this, for the short sword, what is the length? Still having difficulties with which is which between them Domo 🙏🏼

thanks for showing so clearly this wil improve my kata because i have back issue`s, i realy love your way of teaching "me" online keep this up it inspires manny people.

Cool!

i read your description in this video.... by this mean there is only "way" it is always evolving and to see it as the right or wrong way is to limit oneself?

I use bike maintenance stands to hold up the swords of my practice. I love this. Please let me know if you would like picture.

nice! love to see the resemblances between each ryu

Love the beautiful kata!! Well done... from so many challenging positions! Very nice fumikami!

This is great! And the dojo looks nice. Btw namazu just like to confirm but did you receive my mesaage on instagram regarding the location of the dojo?

Endlich ein neues Video. 👍🏼 Das freut mich. Grüße aus Berlin

Good to see a new production from you! Best wishes from England.

Very nice
