I regret you feel that way. True ways of war don't always resemble the flashy, surgical precision found in the movies. Careless execution consisting of raw speed, superfluous movements and visceral screaming are often used to hide the inadequacies of both the practictioner and the practice in which they are engaged. There is measure, power, ceremony and precision in the iaido seen in this video. Shown is the highest example of a utilitarian martial art. It is simple, effective and direct.

In as few words as I can manage, he's demonstrating sword skill from essentially the least opportune positions (aside from laying down of course) -- seated and with the sword sheathed. This is classical Japanese sword drawing. Iaido is performed slowly in most cases, only because it's most difficult doing so. This requires incredible amounts of fine motor skills. It can be done quickly too and is often demonstrated that way. It's certainly no dance. This is real and downright deadly. :)

Correct. Pommel strike. The stomp is fumikomi and is optional. His opponent is sitting immediately to his right and decides to grab the defender's sword by the handle. The small circular motion is him wrenching it away from his opponent's attempt to grab and the strike is to the face of the opponent. The horizontal cut that follows is to the opponent's right arm just below the shoulder, then he's pulled to the floor and subsequently has is lower back cut through by the defender.

I've been practicing Iaido for 35 years and martial are for 60 and I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember seeing such force displayed. In the original book Miyamoto Musashi there was a chapter where Musashi went to visit one of the greatest swordsmen of his time and while walking on the stones of the path to the front of the mans house, it is said, that Musashi suddenly felt such a force of presence that Musashi himself nearly jumped off the path--I felt something similar watching Sato Sensei--someone else said it better that I, "...his kiseme is frightening."

Beginner's question: Why break the unsheathing and the blow into two motions, like he does at 3:43?
@CraigHocker
@CraigHocker 9 жыл бұрын
+Sverre Kvernmo In this instance, he is expressing a particular timing. He is timing the strike (the second motion) at precisely the right moment his opponent is fully committed but yet exposed, vulnerable. Think about it. Sure you can draw in one smooth motion, but it is not always the case that the moment you realize / become aware of the threat and move that your draw itself will be at the correct time to succeed. So he is expressing the control needed to wait for the right moment. To really do this with conscious awareness is a much higher level than simply making a smooth draw. I see students all the time go on autopilot once they start to move. To choose with the precision he is doing here - very nice.
@ronin2167
@ronin2167 5 жыл бұрын
He's waiting to see what his opponent is going to do. He is basically displaying his blade showing he is ready. There's something similar in MJER in a waza called Ukenagaeshi. You see the guy coming from your side....you draw your sword just out to the end of your knee with a short pause as you turn to look at your opponent. This is to sort of lure the opponent in and then you do a horizontal block as the opponent does a vertical cut, his blade slides down the side of yours in a parry and then you cut.

I'm glad you enjoy the video. I posted it in direct response to others that had been posted showing only part of the demonstration. One should recognize that in the Japanese arts, the parts immediately preceding and following the waza demonstration are just as important. Rituals showing respect and gratitude are everything in the Japanese arts. Expensive videos. They're around $120 USD and can be purchased from a place called Rakuten. I've updated the description with a link.

If what you are teaching is currently unsound, but you insist that is Iaido you are a cultural supremacist! Note how that slander has not been the direction Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Fo, Karate, Aikido, and countless other martial arts have taken because they realized this fact!

Each 'waza' or form you see here describes a certain scenario whereby the swordsman is attacked. Take the form at 6:45 for example: someone approaches him from behind and attempts to grab the end of his scabbard. The swordsman wrenches the sword from the enemy's hand, turns and impales the hapless enemy in the chest with his sword then proceeds to cut him in two, and finally flings the blood from the sword and re-sheathes.

Which is exactly why I posted this video. The ceremony and ettiquette are the essence of the traditional Japanese arts -- all of them. Saho is the shell in which the entire practice is contained; it needs to be performed with as much if not more care than the waza themselves. The other Sato video that was edited to exclude the ettiquette which is wrong in my opinion and I had to correct that since I have the material. This will be the only iaido video on my channel for now, if ever.

Just to add to that. The main thing that iaido is teaching me is how to go "into the zone", regardless of what is happening around you, how to focus immediately on a single moment, at will, and to carry that moment to its conclusion. It a Zen meditation, at the lower levels we must demonstrate our ability to perform 5 minutes of simple focussed tasks, later grades must perform a much more complex task over more time whilst remaining in he zone. Yosoichi Sato-sensei demonstrates this here.

4:47 This sequence intrigues me. Am I correct in assuming that there is a pommel strike to the right involved? I say so because he makes the foot stamp I associate with ippon in kendo, which seems an excessive amount of energy for just clearing the blade from the scabbard. I've never seen that before in iaido, I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding that motion?

@Flashback_Jack
@Flashback_Jack 8 жыл бұрын
The Japanese sword is considered as much as a weapon unsheathed as well as sheathed; 4:48, he is striking the face of an opponent who is reaching for his sword's handle from a distance of about two body widths away. The circular motion he makes with the handle is him pulling the sword away from the opponent's reach, then up and around, ending in the strike. At 6:49 he becomes aware that an opponent has grabbed hold of the kojiri (end cap of the scabbard), then proceeds to stand up, wrench the scabbard from the opponent's hand before turning and thrusting the blade deep into his chest. He then forcefully pulls the sword out and cleaves the opponent from the top of the head down to the waist as both he and the opponent falls to the ground.

Mick; I didn't mean champion in the titled sense but as an exemplar of what some may as in many of the comments suggest as an ideal. Back to understanding Iaido in the particular, a Buddhist saying comes to mind; The Buddha hung out mutton but he only sold dog meat! In other words some look at or teach Iaido kata as sure fire win killer techniques. This I think is false teaching. A sound kata is only about how to take the initiative, equalize or achieve an unclear position. To me this is not about killing in that Iaido is like any other martial art, ergo what is a practical course for attack and defense. This is why I feel many current teachings are misguided. Further to me Iaido is about the contemplation of the honorable man in the context of Zen teachings. If I could afford to post a few videos you would be able to see for your self, but hopefully some day! cheers, Yoroshiku onegai shimashita!
@MicPowell

To make an added point if I may, just like in Chess or especially in Go there are sound Joseki, openings and continuations, hence sure fire wins are just the study of tricks and traps which is inferior thinking. Sound kata avoid tricks and traps and take into consideration the opponents optimal move just like chess compositions, if the position says mate in 3 it must be three not 2 or 4. But again if the opponent response soundly there is no kata mate. The magic is that save one Chuden kata all of Muso Ryu can be demonstrated as sound, yet under current teachings this Ninja Turtle sure fire win mentality has crept into the system which is why I am concerned to publish my reevaluations!

How ridiculous some think its about a show *shakes head* you don't see the subtleties and economy of movement, its designed to actually conserve vital energy in a pitched battle, sword battle rarely last more than a few minutes easily tiring both combatants, subtlety is the name of the game in the ancient samurai simply because your opponent often knew your moves.

As this is Omori Ryu and Eishin Ryu (no Oku Iai) I presume this is the first embu for shortlisting. Do you have the final embu which is usually Oku Iai only?

Musahshi killed Kitaro with a boat oar handle. It would seem Kitaro would have been more looking for the overhead strike . As options were more limited to Musahshi it would seem. But Kitaro was already flustered from Musahshi showing up late for the duel.

This is called Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu. This particular strain of the school is found in International Kendo Federation dojos, all ultimately subsets of the All Japan Kendo Federation (ZNKR). There are plenty of legitimate iaido dojos in the USA, governed by the All U.S. Kendo Federation (AUSKF). Best advice I could give you to help search a dojo out is to visit the kendo-world·com forums and ask around in the iaido forum.

mikka-love what you said!! agree 1000 percent!!! western should learn from those we constantly criticized. I have experience in visiting Japan and practice several time when I go for my testing and I would say is good to imitate those good habits. as there is a saying: "cleanliness is close to godliness" as intelligent being-as per some- is good to adapt those good manner. even though, some(westerners) will criticize.

Nothing is like what you think. Sensei is anticipating attack from any random direction. It's not stroll in the park. He's also fighting back. Everything is in the mind, since a real sword fight means life or death.
