Experience How Samurai Trained Physically & Mentally Through Katana Training and Zen Meditation

[@mikotagayuna8494]

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.

[@blueeyes6852]

That's fascinating! Thank you!

[@thebunnybun]

What about the fabled how close the camera gets when unsheathing the katana

[@TheWeekendShooter308]

3?

[@mashash9594]

I don’t get it

[@mashash9594]

@Zatoichi444 it’s not that deep 😭

[@rolandgdean]

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.

[@TheEmeraldMenOfficial]

Surprisingly smart design, actually.

[@nappyheadboi48]

It's crazy how just covering your feet could give you an advantage

[@roycehuepers4325]

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.

[@phazesix]

Me too. I did this experience & LOVED getting dressed up. I thought it was just me because I'm a fashion designer. Haha.

[@thomasturner4253]

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

[@kaze7781]

Thanks for taking us with you Shogo! That was an amazing experience to watch :) Many greetings from germany!

[@kdefensemartialarts8097]

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."

[@BotWatts]

that music is so incredible. it feels like a movie. the wood flute has such a unique sound, it is surreal

[@TeeIeh]

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.

[@leonkenshin5228]

The dude with the flute shredded it

[@griffian4454]

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!

[@LetsaskShogo]

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😎

[@johnemmons9087]

You are very blessed to be able to visit such an incredible place. Thank you.

This is very inspiring and also very nice to learn more about the samurais. Thanks for a another great video! :D

[@DanielLopez-up6os]

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.

[@ronsorage78]

Tomoko being her adorable self. A very fun video.

[@realestateChen]

This video is amazing. It truly made me wanna move to Japan!

[@Shaggy0f138]

What a wonderful experience to share. Love the tones from the bamboo flute, and the drum was so powerful.

[@masonclark9110]

Awesome new intro shogo and have a great Christmas everyone!

[@darrianweathington1923]

All samurai know that the stronger you are, the louder the music gets, and vise versa

[@XenosFiles]

Meditating after violent physical exercise is the best. Mind is much more tameable.

[@annina134]

I just told my mom that I really have to visit Japan some day! 😄💜

[@Nick85]

I love how the camera shakes when the drumming intensifies 😊 great show!

[@jordenpowell5760]

[@theonionkid9905]

The was a very beautiful performance. Both the music and the swordsman.

[@jmsgridiron5628]

Samurai are my favorite anchient warriors of all time. The armor, weaponry, the bushido code, all if it is very interesting.

[@wolfstatus]

Thanks!

[@Saiarts_yt]

Performance was like a introductory scene from the game Ghost of Tsushima (ゴーストオブ対馬). What a great video!

[@johanmanurung8227]

Holy moly, Samurai training is very strict. Amazing video, Shogo-san😄😄😄😄😄😄!

[@guswheeling6921]

Wow Shogo this video was amazing! I had tingles on my skin waiting for the 5 mat cut 😱

[@raymondalvarez96]

Wow lots of respect to the traditional discipline and skill

[@LaNoir.]

Thank you for this video, it was truly a great experience! I hope I can do it myself one day, feeling the vibration of the taiko in reality probably makes it a thousand times better

[@ZombieGunslingr]

Wow just wow I want to experience that!

[@operatorvanguard_008]

The music towards the beginning oh by the gods I could feel the emotion and edge the music has like the katana the edge is sharp and well rounded the drum I felt in my heart the flute in my soul thank you for the whole experience

[@northstar-7575]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.

[@lamb8648]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for the quality content, hope you and family have a happy holiday!

[@Whiskey0880]

What an amazing experience. The katana demonstration accompanied by taiko drum and the shakuhachi was......powerful to say the least. Fantastic video shogo!

[@projectmustardseed857]

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?

[@thedragonofechigo7878]

As far as I've heard, the mustache of beards on the menpo signified the age of the Samurai.

[@markfergerson2145]

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.

[@3chmidt]

if the samurai had such drum play like this in the past, they truly had drip music.

[@barnowl05]

awesome! thank you for the video shogo-san

[@miumjou]

Kazu is the next Samurai!👍❤️

[@swbf2]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your culture.

[@nathalielibelmorin7956]

It's so sad that I didn't know this existed back in 2019!! I spent a lot of time in Kyoto too! Amaing video, I will definitely come here next time

[@dr.livesey6120]

The katana preformamce was amazing

[@mariocaselli2339]

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 !

[@killroy2014]

That was Amazing! Thank you for showing us this great Place!

[@jayceeinvincible]

Truly beautiful 💯❤️

[@gersonbz1]

Beautiful!

[@albertchristian1]

This was absolutely amazing! I have so many follow-up questions! 😂

[@petergarcia8225]

Like a kitchen knife maturity comes along with anything sharp. You can just imagine samurais of the past and the discipline they went through.

[@kingfish4575]

The spirits of that house must be very happy!

[@bbbb-sh4mb]

5:55 SHEEEEEESSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH. MY HEARTT!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOMEEEEE

[@erion2115]

Wow! Thats an amazing video! ❤️

[@gotmullets]

Awesome video!!

[@outboundflight4455]

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.

[@chucarnaj21]

it seems like a really full expirience, i could feel the taiko's energy.

[@aeriegreenleaf8368]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Poland.

[@Sauloms]

I’ll go there one day. Amazing Taiko!!!

[@MickeyMaguire]

Kozu is now a dangerous man and Tomoko a woman to be reckoned with!

[@petergarcia8225]

Train the mind body and spirit. Real Teachers and Masters never let yourself and your attitude of anger out of the classroom. This is were meditation comes along with training.

[@thegoat20066]

This looks super fun and relaxing

[@B-leafer]

Very interesting and beautiful. Much respect.

[@meinenglish2449]

The samurai master gived me a Goosebump because when he is explaining Zen he said that it originated from south india because I am a indian

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

[@McLKeith]

In Zazen I was taught to breath out through the mouth deeply only for the first 5 to 10 breaths and then breath through the nose. And to breath into the hara.

[@theofilos4202]

[@Kristalya]
