      Its actually not that hard if u were to pick it up today. Just get a large stick for beginning lol. The only sheath you'd need is ur fingers to create a opening like a sheath and then practicing the movement over and over again. Then once u get a chance to get a wooden katana (preferably a katana cuz of course it wouldn't work on European double edged blades lol) train for 2 hrs doing the same BASIC movement over and over like shown in the first part of the video. Once u know how to spin a blade, then only can u try to sheath by spinning.

    I literally taught myself this move more than a decade ago after watching Vergil in DMC3. I'm glad the technique I ended up at is in fact the proper technique!
    My boneheaded self used an actual (non-sharpened) metal blade though, so I had to strengthen my fingers, wrist, and forearm before I could reliably spin the sword. I dropped it and/or hit myself with it so many times, but I eventually got it!

      that's what I'm curious about. what if about the real sword, with weight more than a toy sword. and isn't dangerous to have a weak grip like that?! if someone hit you while performing that as I believe a part of advance application for this is for defend and a quick slash, does it still has the strength grip to held the sword for that momentum? for example, if enemy hit you while doing it, and you defend with that kind of grip, isn't it dangerous to held the heavy sword like that?!
      it will only reasonable if some one have a super strength grip with their finger, far stronger than enemy. Or else, it will only turn into playing trick that will cost your own life.

    Huh, so I've been doing this right the entire time?! I have a custom aluminum dull katana with a plastic scabbard that I made to practice with. No one taught me how to spin sheath, so for the longest time, I just instinctively spun it like the way Aoshima demonstrated. I just never thought that it was the actual way to do it. Either way, cool tutorial and definitely a fun trick to learn and do.

      Well, as you probably know, there's an old saying that goes: "History repeats itself". It's entirely possible that you re-invented the technique for yourself. If you think about martial-arts techniques, you're bound to get that feeling, like "Someone was smart enough to come up with this." They weren't just smart, but had good instincts and practice.

    I've done this with my T10 katana it takes a lot of strength to do this right along with keeping the momentum going, but since my hands are medium small size I had to modify the finger movement slightly sometimes even a millimeter or lower toss in the air to perfect this move. But it can be done with a regular katana

    Great tutorial but chiburi actually isn't to remove blood from your blade if you preform chiburi with blood on your blade a lot of it will remain. The actual use of chiburi it's to check the Mekugi is broken or not (for those that don't know the Mekugi is the bamboo pin that keeps your blade attached to your handle)

      @SomeoneNr9 Před rokem

      first of all, i don't think you need to explain what a japanese word means to a literal japanese guy. Second, 'chiburi' or 'chiburui' actually quite literally translates to 'shaking off blood'. So while you are correct with the statement that this doesn't completely remove blood from your blade and you still need to wipe it, you are still just being a smartass for the sake of being a smartass. Which is to say, you're being annoying.

    This brings me back to when I used to do Cosplay. I was prepping to do Mitsurugi and was practicing his routine from Soul Calibur 3. He often did the spin and thankfully I had some practice doing some spinning tricks with poles and sticks, but the trick for me was to make pressure on the index and middlefinger to compensate the weight of the blade so I wouldn't lose grip. It's easier with poles or sticks since you can have them even out their balance and your wrist is making minimal effort to control the spin, but not only it's tricky with a sword since all the weight is on one end, it's trickier with a katana due to the curved blade.

    I've been trying this for a while with my metal katana, and my thumb knuckle's pretty scraped... Should've seen the video till' the end for your explanation about the takemitsu. Pretty good video, loved it.

    I’ve been training with a sharp katana for two days now and your Chanel has helped a lot. I have a wooden katana but I never thought of training with it because I didn’t want to break it and now you’ve said that at the end of the Vidio I’ve desided to Cary on using the metal one.😂

    I came to learn how to sheath like Vergil. I leave satisfied.
    Edit: Now after 8 months, this has become a part of my muscle memory. A motivated way to sheathe a sword

    There is one thing about most movies with swords that I find amusing. That is the "shing" kind of sound that always accompanies the drawing of a sword in movies. It's even put with the smaller Tanto. I have yet to be able to make that sound upon unsheathing any of my swords. That's just like the "whop" sound they add to punches & kicks. I've never heard that from any practitioner of any martial arts. If you listen very hard, you can sometimes hear a quiet swish from someone's Gi when they perform a Kata!

      Blades with a Bo-hi do tend to make an audible whiffing sound through the air when making a correctly aligned and fast cut.

      @@stinkyfungus That's not the same as the sound effect they use. I have a 1/2" by 4' bamboo teacher's stick. It comes closest to that sound. However, in most all martial arts movies, it's way over used. I mean, I don't believe that any simple hand or arm/leg movement could ever make the sound, but they do in those movies. hahahaha

    fifty years ago, i studied kendo. on occasion, our teacher would recommend a toshiro mifune movie. there is a famous duel at the culmination of sanjuro, which involves a strange draw and cut that i could NEVER quite understand. is that something you could demonstrate? thanks.

      I'll explain it textxually. He grabs the sword in a backwards grip with the left hand. First he pulls _back_ which pushes the scabbard deeper into the belt and serves the function of "sayabiki" you'd do with the left hand in a normal draw. Then he pulls the sword out and cuts.

      Mifune draws left handed and braces/ pushes the blade with his right forearm against the back of the blade, making the strike.

      @@bryanlunt7579 it has to be something like that. but drawing a sword, edge up, getting the point past your armpit, then cutting from a backward grip... seems incredibly awkward. i AM dyslexic, so i am probably missing some crucial aspect of the draw. it might be easier if the blade were carried edge down in the sheath.

    This is a forgotten art, nowadays the gun is mightier than the sword, the minute you are trying to work the spinning of an index finger pew pew “you shot me” Im obviously jealous, I enjoyed the video and will be practicing when my kids are out of sight.
