Great instruction. IMHO too many non-Japanese instructors either over-emphasize or completely ignore the spiritual aspects of Japanese arts, whether it's Iaido to Shuji. Thank you very much.

[@TheBudoAcademy]

Thank you Mr. Eck.

[@waywardronin8755]

Great explanation of basic Iaido techniques and their meanings, I really appreciate the way you explained it and demonstrated it.

[@HadashiMartialArts]

Thank you for this. My iai club stopped formal training when we went into lockdown due to Covid, here in the UK. I was just a beginner, so felt uncomfortable with solo practice. There is no zoom or video guidance or training. We were just left to our own devices (or bokken/iaito). Anyway, I haven't done any practice because as I said, I haven't felt comfortable and know so little. It was nice to watch this and learn about these things though. I may not be able to practice due to lack of confidence in what I'm doing but I can at least learn some of the ideas and terminology behind practice. I really appreciate this.

@@TheBudoAcademy Right on. I may consider that as it would be good motivation. The rates are reasonable. Have a good evening.

Thank you so much for this wonderful instructional video. Since I work all day long and get home by 10 pm, I don't have time to learn at a club or at a dojo. Your videos are giving me an opportunity to begin learning alone at home with a bokken.

[@TheBudoAcademy]

Thanks very much for your kind words. We appreciate it contact me at the dojo for a free fundamentals library [e-mail]

[@Strider182]

This video was fantastic! I'm currently trying to learn Iaido and dabble in Kenjutsu as well. Unfortunately there isn't a iaido dojo near me so I'm trying to learn what I can off KZbin + books :) Thank you for the great video on the fundamentals! Going on to watch pt right now :D

[@thomassorce5631]

[@hachikoi3541]

Loved the lesson, picked my interest for the spiritual side of this art, now I´m staying until the end!!

[@TheBudoAcademy]

We've got plenty for you!

[@MehrdadParthian]

i have been recently training an upward slash of Furikaburi where i would draw the sword to the tip without twisting the blade with left hand and after the draw i would move the the tip in an upward 90 degree angle in order to catch the middle of the opponent's blade with the base of my blade as a defensive move. it is a new move for me, but i imagine it is giving me a Guard Broken opponent to cut open with my Kirioroshi, since a large part of blade is still open to attack despite the base being pushed back by the Opponent's blade. i would like to know your opinion about it, should i focus my training on the upward slash Furikaburi or just return to the basics ?

[@TheBudoAcademy]

No matter how advanced you are , basics are important

[@anthonypine7357]

I studied under Master Toshishiro Obata in Los Angeles and my style his style really was Shinken do! I find your videos to be nothing short of amazing! It would be my honor to study at your dojo!

[@carlreynolds1111]

I Study under one of obata’s students sensei Jim Alvarez in Livermore

So glad to be subscribed to this. I actually found a nice, round-edged daisho at Goodwill, of all places, and have been really interested in starting iaido as a discipline for mind and body (concurrently with reading "Soul of the Samurai," which is a translation and explanation of three 17th-century Japanese texts on zen and bushido). So while I'm looking for a dojo locally for me to practice with, I feel like this is really helpful for backyard practice. I appreciate you sharing the mentality behind the movements as well as the movements themselves. I just saw your reply to another comment below about your online/distance lessons, which I'll definitely look into. Seems like a really wise use of $10/month!

Hey there I’m interested in learning iaido however there are no dojos or teachers remotely close to me and I’m not sure how to start by myself. Is there anything that you can recommend I do?
