- When we think of Samurai, we have the image of being strong warriors. But what kind of training did these strong warriors actually do? Here you can learn how they trained their minds and bodies with the sword and through Zen. It is one of the most enjoyable and innovative experiences among the many hands-on facilities in Kyoto, so we encourage you to visit.

It is a well-known, undisputed fact that the strength of a samurai's sword technique is directly proportional to the number of syllables in its name.
That's fascinating!
Thank you!
What about the fabled how close the camera gets when unsheathing the katana
3?
I don’t get it
@@mashash9594 You no think hard enough...you think, you will get.
2:50 If I'm honest, one of my favorite parts of taking Aikido was wearing the hakama. Sensei told us the hakama could be used to hide your feet during a fight by squatting slightly...just enough for the hakama to cover the feet. This can be used to confuse your attacker because it's harder for them to tell what foot you have your weight on.
Surprisingly smart design, actually.
That's true.
It's crazy how just covering your feet could give you an advantage
The more likely purpose was chaps. Gotta remember they were horsemen. The Sengoku version of hakama were different to the edo we're familiar with now.
Me too. I did this experience & LOVED getting dressed up. I thought it was just me because I'm a fashion designer. Haha.
Thanks again for showing places in your hometown U are a solid source for Japanese history Also showing how that history is still alive In experiences u can visit Thanks Shogo
Thanks for taking us with you Shogo! That was an amazing experience to watch :) Many greetings from germany!
It was cool how much the drums were making the camera shake! It reminded me of the anime "Bleach," when it had characters having strong "Reiatsu."
that music is so incredible. it feels like a movie. the wood flute has such a unique sound, it is surreal
Thanks for that illuminating experience, Shogo. I'm studying Japanese language at university right now, so this cultural exchange is quite edifying for me. Much love from Michigan.
The dude with the flute shredded it
Shogo this was a great video! Very smart to bring others along so you can showcase the experience even while it is winter and your Reynauds is acting up!
Thank you for leaving a comment! That’s right, I kept my hands warm with a jacket on and let the two do the experience instead😎
This is very inspiring and also very nice to learn more about the samurais. Thanks for a another great video! :D
I love how passionate everyone is being throughout the process!
What a wonderful experience to share. Love the tones from the bamboo flute, and the drum was so powerful.

This video is amazing. It truly made me wanna move to Japan!
I remember when i used to Practice Aikido, i always enjoyed Practicing katas with the Bokken, pretenting it was a samurai sword, and having earned the privilidge of wearing a Hakama to practice was so Amazing.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Poland.
Meditating after violent physical exercise is the best. Mind is much more tameable.
Thank you @Lets asks Shogo, for showing this video. I hope to one day attend this experience and buy a katana as well. Again Domo Arigato gozaimasu !
That performance was pretty mesmerising, ngl - could imagine back in the day that weighing mad heavy
An amazing experience to behold.
Performance was like a introductory scene from the game Ghost of Tsushima (ゴーストオブ対馬). What a great video!
That was great. Thank you.
All samurai know that the stronger you are, the louder the music gets, and vise versa
it seems like a really full expirience, i could feel the taiko's energy.
Samurai are my favorite anchient warriors of all time. The armor, weaponry, the bushido code, all if it is very interesting.
The katana preformamce was amazing
Thank you 🙏
if the samurai had such drum play like this in the past, they truly had drip music.
Amazing
Bravo!
superb video!
For how old it is its gorgeous 250 years old wow.
And dude cutting all 5 tatami with that form was amazing
Thank you
Kazu is the next Samurai!👍❤️
5:55 SHEEEEEESSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH. MY HEARTT!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOMEEEEE
Increíble
Badass Shogo! This is a nice experience! Were they doing Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu or Muso Shinden Ryu in the beginning Iai demonstration. The Taiko drumming and Shakuhachi synced so well with the kata.
It would be amazing to see all the history up close the Mansion is beautiful it would be a nice place to live life to the fullest
As a samurai a protector of the light
A guardian and keeper
It was really interesting. 👍
Merry Christmas, guys! 🎄🎅🎁
I got to watch this
Merry Christmas mass shogo sama
Very cool 😍
Like a kitchen knife maturity comes along with anything sharp. You can just imagine samurais of the past and the discipline they went through.
Thank you for you dedication to sharing Japanese traditions. I have a question you might have the answer to. Why did the Samurai wear gray bearded mask with their helmets in battle ? Was it to look for mercy, giving them an edge or bring the fear of their expertise into an opponent?
As far as I've heard, the mustache of beards on the menpo signified the age of the Samurai.
There are many opinions from historians about the purposes of the masks. Metatron recently did a video explaining some of those opinions.
As we saw, samurai would meditate before battle to obtain and maintain calm during battle. One opinion holds that the expressions on the masks were intended to break an opponent's calm by inspiring different emotions, making them easier to defeat. Considering the many different mask designs ranging from gray-bearded men to demonic faces, this makes sense to me.
The spirits of that house must be very happy!
Vayyy anasini. One day ill be there to expierence this myself. Btw calling it music in this day and age would be an insult tbh. But thx for the video boys
