Hey, I'm working on a 3d animation of a cyberpunk street samurai. This video helped me a ton. Great instruction and very logical.

I may be of a different breed but ive always been under the belief that if i dont use a sharp sword from the start i will never learn to respect its ability to harm me. so i only train with sharpened swords. If it cant hurt me i know it cant and i will use it accordingly. If i know it can harm me i will be far more careful when using it and learn proper safety.

Isn't there a small move forward with the back knee before your Furikaburi? Then you set your front foot forward just a bit before the Kirioroshi.

👍👍👍

👍👍👍👍

Thank you. Such a great explanation and demonstration. What would you recommend as far as doing a little reading on history of this? Cheers.

Great and detailed explanation, Arigato Sensei.

Outstanding guidance. Very clear.

There is one broker in America which delivers beautiful custom Japanese made zinc alloy iaitos. They are made by the same blade maker in Japan who makes for Tonzando. They company is called swordstore. Having said that they are about the same price as Tonzando.

Thanks for this, my friend! I would LOVE to study at your dojo!!

Been working on this very thing since your visit in feb !!

Some people get so caught up in worrying about looks or different techniques, that common sense eludes them.

Good reminders, we have our national competitions here in the uk next week, something to bear in mind whilst competing

Awesome information. Now I just need to improve my posture and maybe my celling... Again brilliant video Sensei. Greetings from Scotland

Thanks for sharing! Im personally from the MSR but its nice to see from an Eishinryu perspective for chiburi.

Man you're not kidding. Working on this for about 30 straight mins. Definitely feeling it the second you stop. Thanks for the tips and videos.

It's so weird to extend an unprotected arm towards an opponent

Tnx u so much

I just watched this again Senseii and I can’t tell you how many times the “notes” statement applied to me, common sense really helps 👍thank you sir

I'm a self taught left-handed draw guy.. don't hate me :(

Chiburi, to Rede of the impurities. This is the true meaning.

So yeah.. this answered my question. I wanted a sword that was unable to cut. I kept thinking metal.. and then I see your video and I see wood. Absolutely perfect for what I need.

Thank you 🙏 Any pointers on Chiburri from the standing position?

Tom Sensei i agree with you. Chiburri was definetly not oractical enough for the purpose of removing blood from the blade, thats why the bushi had tenugi. Chiburi when done as a cut properly requires Tenouchi omce the blade is in feont of you. Otherwise its a bad cut or a bad chuburri.

If could increase the volume or closed captioned.

Fantastic , this explains a lot , in previous kendo and kenjutsu practices I would stand for O Chiburi and then make the cut, but I prefer the way you describe it here ❤️

Thank Sensei, Standing Mae is for me with my double TKR. Will you be making beginner standing waza’s only? Mae, what wax’s is next?

By the way, wearing a katana in seiza position has no hustorical meaning...

In the beginning I would try and cover distance with over striding and would often be out of balance when cutting So I shortened my stride tightened my core and centered my weight in the middle that solved my issue

Thank you Senseii as this is oftentimes a mistake that I made

Where to buy those masterpiece

many thanks for this very detailed instructional video. exactly what I was looking for

Came here for references to draw, came out how to draw a sword. And some good references.

Is there any place you recommend for beginner stuff

Hmmm, the concept of applying pressure between the chiburi and noto was a new revelation to me. Very interesting. Thanks.
