It’s the reason I have been practicing Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryu iaido for a year and a half now. The first practice I watched left me with the same impression. That it was very similar to Marine Corps rifle drill. Semper Fi from a 1/6 Marine (2008/2012)

He is training. Training Iaido katas look like this.

It''s very good, it's inspired in real Iaido, and we can see focus, calm and care in the details. That's why some japanese movies are so awesome, because they get inspired in reality, not in fantasy tricks. So, it's a very accurate Iaido. Anyway, consider he's a performer, not 8th Dan, just check some 8th Dan videos to get more ideas about the way of the sword.

Shall do.

@@BelloBudo007 If you want to know more about the style shown in the video, it is called Mugai Ryu.

DANGEROUS COMEDY its no laughing matter ✌️

You're right,it's my favourite movie !!

Honestly the ending made me cry it's amazing how selfless he is in this amazing film. But alot of samurai were nice people but alot also were evil and corrupt but it's like this in every part of the world.

So is this movie just about a non violent man who had an incredible passion for the sword???

@@Catgat37 he care for his wife and family, also he care for others. Great movie, he was forced to defend himself and he did not wanted to kill his attackers. He used the non-sharp side of his katana to prevent killing others.

@@Catgat37 A non violent samurai master who had no choice but to defend himself from stupid and reckless samurai bullies.

must be his crosstraining of mugai ryu iai, and battojutsu

Flemming Madsen Mean no disrespect, but who the hell can remember all those details and names unless you’re Japanese, for the mere simple mortals, totally meaningless, eh?

It's called passion and dedication. You should have some if you're training anything. Learning and trying to understand what are you actually doing usually comes with it, because you realize it's all for nothing without proper understanding. Katana wielding and physical stuff are only the smaller part when you're training anything that originated from Koryu or that is considered a Martial Art and after years of training there are still some days when it just comes to you that you know nothing. We can only be grateful to the simple mortal Japanese people for cherishing their culture and their selflessness.

Correct been in Mugai Ryu Iai Heido (Keoshi) real good movie.

KSR Is Koryu, Iaido Are Most From After The Meiji Period, Which Is The Showa To The Taisho Period, Iaido Is Gendai Budo

First waza reminded me of Zenteki qyakuto from the oku waza set.

Which was not uncommon for that age. Back then, roads like we know them in the west were rare in Japan and usually only existed between the main centers of population. A fairly well off individual could usually afford a Horse, but even so, such was expensive in upkeep. Tails such as the one he is walking were more common and were usually just wide enough for either two Horses to pass each other or for individuals to move past each other walking as he is doing.
