Samurai Iaijutsu James Williams sensei Nami ryu

A discourse and demonstration in regards to Iaijutsu and it's applications in close combat. Training is programming and it is important to understand the factors that go into edged weapon combat. I will post some other videos from this seminar that breakdown more aspects of this training. www.systemofstrategy.com/page...

Training consciously and knowing that we never do anything perfect is what allows us to improve.

[@vishnudas3328]

one of my fave pep talks respect and gratitude

[@SystemOfStrategy]

Mikhail Ryabko is a great one for telling his students, "don't feel sorry for yourselves", this is usually when the training is very uncomfortable. For anyone going through difficulty, and this does not have to be combat or military related, this is a key factor in getting through successfully.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

My apologies on the sound. I am teaching, hence talking to the class, and am not paying enough attention to talking for the camera.

[@ronin6016]

Great video, Excellent instruction and information, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, we are blessed to have you Sensei

[@qaidikramuddin]

Your words are absolute truth sensei James. This is necessary knowledge for this modern age.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

Thank you. www.systemofstrategy.com/pages/online-training

[@qaidikramuddin]

Thank you for the link sensie James. I'm certain I'll learn a lot. I'm a Sorato Ryu Kenjutsu Heiho student.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

I do talk about this on the two edged weapon DVD's from Panteao Productions.

[@colt45irish]

Sensei may I inquire as to what Tonto you have in your Obi? Looks to be the same one from your panteao videos that osoraku style. Just curious who made it thank you.

[@acetobalsamico]

great stuff! keep em coming!

[@SystemOfStrategy]

I have three Nami ryu DVD's available through Bugei Trading Company and 2, just recently done, edged weapon DVD's through Panteao Productions. I am getting ready to shoot some more on Personal Defense etc.

[@mugsy5893]

Subbed thank you sir

[@Shirogarasu9]

Is there a place to get more of these videos? I've bought some of his nami ryu instructional videos, but I'd really like to get my hands on a continuation of this video and more like it. I really value these lessons.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

I have two Edged Weapon videos through Panteao Productions. Working on some more.

[@gerardoaguilar100]

I really enjoy sensei talks and the way he explains things do you think you can give a couple videos on the moral ethical code of bushido explained in your way thank you

[@bushimotter]

Lol @ the red pill analogy. This was very enjoyable, I will try bringing the sword to my hand and drop unnecessary motions. This will help me continue to zero in on better mechanics, thanks for the lesson!

[@jamespisano1164]

Amazing. Now I see why studying the sword is valuable despite it being an impractical defensive weapon today.

[@daniele3378]

Great video! thanks for sharing! would be interested in understanding how the hands move in a forward draw.

[@SystemOfStrategy]

Daniele it is extremely difficult to tell what is actually happening without hands on feeling it. The access of the body is different and unique and cannot be seen from the outside.

[@mkultraification]

Is there a place where I can get these seminars on dvd? These are thoughts I have had for many years. It's too bad that those with victim mentality don't watch these.

[@staninfire1]

We never do anything perfect now that's common ground,Bow

[@bangermccrusher]

Again the audio made it very difficult for me, a non english speaking person, but what I actually listened to was amazing, I wish I could be his student.

[@toddpoppleton5303]

But if I don't sit around feeling sorry for myself, how do I blame my shortcomings on others? I won't make a very good victim if I keep watching your videos, sir. Sarcasm off. By the way, we love your flashlights and are keeping an eye out for your video on flashlights for self defense.
