Tenshinryu Hyouho Battojutsu②

[@tonsofregrets258]

1:00 This is bushido right here. To have power, but to use it with control and proper intent. In this case, showing mercy despite having the means to end your opponent. Bloodshed doesn't make someone a warrior, it's the fighting spirit, discipline, and self control that makes a warrior who they are. My respect reaches out to this style, and all of its teachers. From one kenjutsu practitioner to another.

You said everything.

[@johnemersonbuenviaje6960]

katsujinken + reversed edge sword. perfect! kenshin himura thank you for letting us know all of this.

[@HipposHateWater]

Or just use an unsharpened shinken instead of a gimmicky sword invented by a mangaka in the 90's 🙃

[@ashishm8850]

Amazing! The spiritual aspect of martial arts is fascinating. Indeed a skill that should be passed down to the new generations.

[@starryskies9655]

I do wonder why this wasn’t just added on to the first one. It’s an incredibly interesting mini-documentary tho.

No it's cut into part 1 and part 2

There are so many Japanese sword martial arts that teach completely different things. I have much yet to learn

[@fleepss2407]

at the core it's all the same thing: techniques to attack and defend with a sword. the different martial arts are basically just different interpretations of the same thing. usually one guy who got really good at swordfighting after years and years of experience in the military, developed a style based on how he liked to fight. another samurai working for another lord in a different province and part of the country would figure out a way after many years of working for his daimyo and HE would develop a school. Sometimes people would want to test one school against another and you would get people like Miyamoto Musashi running around.

Literally Rurouni Kenshin. Amazing technique and budou

[@HaruSkage]

It's quite possible that Rurouni Kenshin is based on this style.

[@TheInterceptor12]

@@HaruSkage watsuki has previously attributed to the style of hiten mitsurugi used by Kenshin to Kawakami Gensai's lost shiranui ryu. However the parallels to to Tenshin ryu's techniques are certainly uncanny.

One of the first video i saw from Hyoho 3/4 years ago. That’s how it started for me.

[@reidatreus8345]

History is sure Amazing

[@virgiljacas6388]

That was the way for many.

[@akagamishanks2774]

I love this cause this man doesn't take himself seriously even with his immense talent and knowledge, a nice change from you typical 80 years old geezers that they usually in the position of "The Master" and think they are gods or something.

[@angryzombie8088]

After considering the original founder & the philosophy involved, imho Tenshinryu Hyouho is a self defense & safeguarding technique, in the context that it was used to guard the Shogun. My interest on Samurai & Katana started with the anime Rurouni Kenshin, the Katsujinken philosophy plays an important aspect in the anime & this school.

I Love it....tks

I like your channel name. The eternal beginner and student, not attached to life.

I enjoyed it Ms ayako. ☺️

[@junbu8958]

Looks like a Aussem school, in America, I am studying Yagyu Kenjutsu, as well as Sogo budo , you have a sound style and keep the budo alive ⛩🌙

[@snowtail1951]

Tenshinryu is, in a pleasantly ironic sense, the martial art that is meant to either kill your opponent in one movement, or spare them in one strike.

[@b.p.fromturkey3176]

this can be a good anime

[@niagarafalls4205]

Focus on sparing life instead of killing

[@n3ddn3dd24]

Would they accept a gaijin as a student?

[@romellerodrigueza6695]

Real life Kenshin!

The first video of this has a lot of Japanese people commenting about the history of this school is made up. That doesn't really say anything about the technique being displayed here. 滝沢洞風 (Takizawa Dofu), the guy who demonstrates techniques with his master in the previous video, is to be the next head of the school. He trained with other people for example

[@d512634]

also applies his techniques to Iaido kata and test cutting and it is just as good

[@jimhajim8433]

I still think that martial arts are made to kill or hurt. Because martials art are not made by philosopher or religioun or any other professional, But by the military only, and that where martial arts have been born.

[@sirken2]

You say this but why do people learn martial arts now and days you don't need the skill typically to fight anyone. Most do it for meditative body and spiritual reasons. I find it relaxing and calming when I spar and practice. Is it nice to know how to defend myself sure it is it gives one confidence but would I ever actively put myself into a situation where I am forced to use what I know not by a long shot. If you only look at martial arts by one aspect and discount the other aspects it teaches and creates then you miss the point about martial arts.

[@szentineltorony4745]

Actually, many of the kaisos (founders) of these kenjutsu schools were philosophers, not just warriors.
