Onoha Itto-ryu① Japanese Classical Martial Art

[@stickplayer2]

I trained with Sassamori Soke on one of his trips to the US a couple years before his passing. A wonderful teacher, and excellent and knowledgeable martial artist. He is missed. May he rest in peace.

[@laughtercatz]

It is an honour to have such knowledge upon us .

[@mediocrebanters]

Ono-ha Itto-ryu is the sword style learned and practiced by the legendary master of Daitō-ryu Aikijujustu, *Sokaku Takeda* of the Aizu clan. The founder of Aikido, *Morihei Ueshiba* learned Daitō-ryu from Sokaku Takeda himself and as such is one of a few of Takeda's students to receive the _kyoju-dairi_ certificate to teach Daitō-ryu. Many of Daitō-ryu's efficient kenjutsu and jujutsu techniques was influenced by the Ono-ha Itto-ryu swordsmanship.

[@AikidoApplied]

So it is said ...👍 I am going to watch tomorrow.

[@15flute289]

Fun fact, a man by the name of Yoshida Kotaro wanted his friend Morihei Ueshiba to meet his teacher Sokkaku Takeda who would later teach him Daito-Ryu Aikijujutsu. Who knows what would have happened if there never was that friendship. 😊

[@xirensixseo]

it is said Takeko of the Aizu clan practiced this along side training with the Naginata

First time I saw a Japanese church on the inside. This is beautiful! And no I am not going to have a fit about it.. because we use to train our shotokan in n church building. God bless you all! May the Lord Jesus, King of kings keep you now and forever. Amen and ossu!

[@joelstatosky1817]

@This is BAXTER It is, however to an extent it makes sense. Christianity used to be fairly popular around 500-1000 years ago within japan until it was outlawed. However most Christians kept their practice a secret by mixing parts of Japanese culture with Christian concepts to conceal the fact they are practicing it.

[@daswordofgork9823]

I can see what this format of Kenjutsu is focusing on. It is the domination of the center line. A concept that is still used in HEMA.

[@stickplayer2]

I've trained with the now passed Sassamori Soke, and that is indeed a fundamental principle of the art - strong ownership of center.

[@Borderose]

So, is this what they mean by having the power of both God and anime on your side?

[@timothyahernRoxyCat]

Now that is an interesting dojo. True, not everybody who practices a sword art in Japan is a proponent of kendo.

[@estebanflores210]

Because Kendo is a Sport like olimpic fencing, it is not a martial art but Kenjutsu is a Martial Art same case like Hema

"I've been studying for over 40 years and still don't fully grasp it. I feel as though I have a long way still to go." Ahhh, no one in the West would say that because there isn't such humility here. Humility is the keystone of learning. I so wish such a school of swordsmanship existed where I live!

Om my gosh a Japanese school that openly mocks kendo for not treating the instruments like swords.

[@Kumofan]

@@Tay-v6v it's because there's a general idea that kendo teaches you to how to use a sword in a real fight, not just how to whack people with a bamboo stick. While Kendo appears to be a sport to a western audience, a traditionalist/japanese kendo practitioner would be offended if someone called it one. Kendo is considered a martial art in Japan, despite the lack of martial qualities. Aikido gets the same treatment for claiming to be a legitimate martial art, despite not really teaching any useful techniques or applications. Think of the difference between a -do (kendo) and a -jutsu (kenjutsu) as the difference between HEMA and Olympic fencing. Olympic Karate practitioners also get made fun of by traditionalist/more realistic styles. Generally it's just safe to assume TMA focus more on the art and less on the martial (with exceptions such as BJJ, Muay Thai, Kyokishin, HEMA, and some others).

[@cashboy78y]

Tyrone Kim maybe that’s was the more good traduction for a term of Japanese language the bushido was the way of the Samurai he was supposed to do anything for respect his rule even if he has to kill himself with the Sepuku,that’s was a lifestyle and nobody teach this because that’s was for the war only the Samurai is a Warrior not a soldier they’re was created for War.Thats maybe why they have used “classical” now it’s just the martial art of Kendo just your body is necessary not your spirit there his a huge difference between them.

[@cashboy78y]

Or maybe th’ats was just a bad traduction idk th’ats just my opinion

[@tyronekim3506]

@This is BAXTER You're right - art can be classical. If martial arts is forever changing and evolving, it cannot be classical. Classical means doing the things the way it was done long time ago. Classical martial arts is a misnomer, because no one does martial arts as was done a long time ago. Most of the martial arts today are not martial arts - it is combat sports with rules. Martial arts means the art of combat fighting in war or battle with the objective to maim, disable, or kill the opponent. There are no rules.

[@tyronekim3506]

@HenryDavidT Most people learn martial arts not inside a church and I agree that it is strange that there is martial arts instructions inside a church. But in the 1960's, I learned Hapkido in one of the buildings on a church compound. I agree much you say about fighting (martial arts). Not too many people in martial arts share your realistic point of view; maybe it's because they watched too many glamorized martial arts movies. Good luck.

I'd say that if you've studied a martial art "for more than 40 years" and "still can't fully grasp it" well I'd say, maybe you should have spent that time doing something else. It's honestly a problem with disciplines where you can't actually gauge your progress by fighting.

[@jwgoon]

It's called humility. Something the majority of westerners lack.

[@davidc4983]

Maybe western swordsmen just have better teachers. If you're training rapier for 40 years, and tell your instructor you still dont grasp it, theyll admit to having failed you.

[@Sylentmana]

I mean no disrespect, but can you really consider any modern practitioner of swordsmanship a “master”? After all, they’ve never had to use a sword to defend themselves or kill an enemy.

[@connorforce01]

Not so sure it's about that, this is more like passing down knowledge of culture and tradition. Because truth be told, in a real fight where you could die at any second, a lot of the stuff you learn goes out the window. It's more like they master the art of it, which means they know how to do all of it.

[@Sylentmana]

You've never been in a real fight or your training was sub par if everything you learned goes out the window. If you've trained and drilled properly and diligently then your training should kick in. When I was in the military, my training saved my skin more than once.

[@connorforce01]

I didn't say everything, but a lot can, but I guess it really depends on the type of person you are and the context of the situation. Then again military training is meant to knock all that out of you and make you a template for using your training without thinking about it, just doing it as second nature. Not too sure how military training compares to this however. It looks like a different kind of strictness. Interesting to think about.

[@Sylentmana]

It compares since this was at one time military training for the samurai. Thing is, the samurai would have trained to actually USE the sword as a sword. These guys train to use it as an art form.

[@connorforce01]

I agree. It makes sense it would measure up, though the sword and the gun are of different battlefields, they are nonetheless battlefields. I think they still train to use a sword as a sword, but you would lose a piece of it due to lack of real combat, since tournaments are the closest thing they have to real battles.
