Tenshinryu Hyouho Battojutsu①

Tenshinryu Hyouho is a school of traditional Japanese Martial Arts which comprises various types of classical forms. It also includes battojutsu or the art of drawing the sword. These sword-drawing techniques are so quick that a swordsman has the ability to land a strike first even when being attacked from behind or being chased. Ayako Kisa visits the Tenshinryu Hyouho training center to see how these 400-year-old techniques, which were once used to guard the Shogun, are being passed down.

He meant it was shameful, if you got cut down, and you weren't able to draw your sword. And the only thing a samurai couldn't stand was shame. So if he survived the cut, he had to commit seppoku to restore his honor.

Troy Forte Rurouni Kenshin was a unusual but unique Shonen Jump series. It’s awesomeness is the sword fights, but surprisingly the story had a narrative theme. The theme was the deconstruction of the Jidal Genki enga and the brutal historical reflection of the Meiji Restoration. Pretty much, it straightly tells the Japanese boys on why the feudal system, samurai, and ninja have disappeared from the contemporary as well a reminder that even up to the present, their Confucian society is fragile against industrialization and globalization.

Its awesome to see.

[@AstroRayGun]

It's a martial art form but it's not meant to be used as a practical martial art. The main principle is to train body and spirit. They are techniques that can be practical if combined with other disciplines. Most katana martial arts are broken up into different schools. The techniques are separated from each other so this is only one small aspect of a very complicated discipline.

[@mibber121]

Amazing! Not only is Battojutsu a real technique, but there's a surviving style you can learn applying it into various scenarios. Moreover, Katsujinken is a real philosophy still taught to this day. I'm SO glad this video came up in my recommendations! *Rurouni Kenshin* is one of my favorite manga and my top favorite period piece manga. I always knew the superhuman sword-fighting wasn't real. Nonetheless, I appreciated how it incorporated real history, historical figures and sword-fighting principles. This Tenshinryu Hyouho is the closest I've seen to Kenshin's fictional Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.

[@patrickwalsh5153]

It really isn't. It is just a bunch of street performers who watched too much anime. If you want something close to Hiten Mitsurugy, then Katori Shinto Shrine's 'Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu' is probably your best bet. It was created by a bunch of retired Samurai after they retired and became monks.

[@frogimmortal]

The technique he used there looks like disrupting an attacking arm without (significant) injury while still threatening death. Kastujinken is typically translated as "life giving sword". In my style, we used the back of the blade to parry, protecting the cutting edge and preventing shattering as the softer steel in back is less brittle, but I don't see that here.

Oh, so that explain the "weirdly forward" sword with its steath hanging near its quarter point. Makes sense, if you pull it to one direction while drawing the blade in the opposite direction, that it's a bit faster. Plus, the steath being in the same position as any other after you draw the blade don't keep it in the way, unlike how it's sometime pictured in charadesigns keeping it at middle point the whole time. Well, that's one detail that always bothered me, glad to finally find an answer to why it's carried this way. Not that I'll ever use this nugget of knowledge for anything else than improving small details of animation nobody cared about...But it's always interesting to learn about "why" things are how they are, even if just on a surface level. ^^"

まさに神速の抜刀術。 剣速互角の対等の戦い。 人を殺めることに何の躊躇いのない剣技と、 "不殺(ころさず)"の剣技とでは、"技の切れ"に明確な差が生じる。 誠に"美しい"剣士の戦い、素晴らしい戦いですよね…。感動しました。
