  • @rxotmfrxotmf8208
    @rxotmfrxotmf8208 Před 7 měsíci +3

    Very good practical advice. I know that the left hand moving the sheath back is faster than the right hand moving the sword forward by watching Iaido practitioners do that. Sensei just showed how fast.

  • @michaelrizzo5523
    @michaelrizzo5523 Před rokem +91

    I've started experimenting with these principles and must say it makes MUCH more sense than the "static" sayabiki I've seen where the practitioner waits with his right hand already on the tsuka and the saya extended and held static 30cm or more forward from the obi waiting to draw, especially if the intent is to be able to respond to a sudden attack. Bringing the tsuka to the right hand instead of reaching for it is incredibly useful! Now I'll try the thumb "don't grip" advice. Thank you so much for sharing this!

    • @payon1559
      @payon1559 Před rokem +2

      An other Point is, that you can hide the intention of Drawing, because there is less obvious movement if you love the tsuka to your hand instead

    Exceptionally practical and efficient. I love martial art styles that strip down the fluff and do things with as little Flourishes as possible. The most distilled and functional is possible. Its the reason I find Bruce Lee's style of Kung Fu Intriguing. Take what is useful, discard what is wasteful, and be true to one's self.

    May I suggest some camera angles?
    Up and behind Seki Sensei, that way people can see movement direction.
    Then another, maybe up and behind the Uke?
    And also, is it possible to see Seki sensei's feet?
    For example, during the draw, does Seki Sensei's feet move as his hips pivot back?
    As he seems to bend his knees slightly and drop his weight to open the hips during the draw.
