Katori Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu - 40th All Japan Kobudo Demonstration - 2017

[@DerSpartaner]

Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu is just one of my favourite Ryu-Ha in all of Kenjutsu. Closely followed by Yagyu Shinkage Ryu and Niten Ichi Ryu. I really admire those schools and their connection to real battle. Their moves are not that fancy and all Kata have enormous practical use. Itsutsu no Tachi surely is one of the most famous Kata in the whole world of martial arts. Always great to see Suwari no Kamae

I agree. 100 percent.

During the naginata jutsu part, why does the naginata holder keep spinning? Whats the logic behind that?

Just as a note. At 8:32 notice how quickly and fluidly he moves laterally to the side with the short sword. Very impressive.

[@tv82832]

Yeah i also think its very impressive

[@lukaku2095]

Thanks for the upload. A very fluid skill they have developed. I like to imagine all the hidden kills within the kata.

[@paulabarquez1252]

@Daniel kader good point. could also be situational awareness/keeping others at bay with a naginata sweep kinda thing.

If you're here after playing Ghost

[@sonitourret1374]

c'est moi qui est trop imprudent ou les deux qui se battent au bokken loupent plein d'opportunités ?

[@casteretpollux]

They are not fighting : they're practising kata in which moves are all both defense and attack and in which - to avoid killing each other - substitute or distanced targets are aimed for rather than actually going for the head or wrist. But the practioner is aware of the subtext.
