You know, it's possible to teach a computer to phonetically pronounce a
word correctly; the fact this computer doesn't tells me the person that
taught it has no fucking clue himself.

Iaido Kata Seitei 05 Gohon-me - Kesa-giri - High quality - www.thesamuraiworkshop.com
ZNKR Iaido (Seitei) kata with Noboru Ogura. A clear demonstration and explanation about the Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei kata which are performed in Iaido.
While there was indeed a small delay, on the one that said incorrect, he
grabbed, paused a second or so, and then did the stroke, while on the other
one, the second his left hand grabbed the sword, he began the strike, so,
while there is a small delay of time in which you grab the sword with your
left hand, the downtime on the stroke after grabbing with both hands is to
be minimal.
Very instructive,even the pronunciation of the words were correct.It makes
the experience even more enjoyable when the narrator pronounces the names
right.Thank u for the upload!
Iaido, the Japanese sword art, by iaido and aikido instructor Stefan Stenudd, 6 dan Aikikai. I do a number of iaido forms, from different iaido schools and also ...
I can see how you'd say this, but sword size is a subjective choice
influenced by iaido ryu, as well as your personal style, build, strength,
etc. I train in Musō Shinden-ryū, and a typical way of determining correct
length is to swing a sword perpendicular to the ground, by your right
ankle. If the tip just misses touching the floor, that's about the correct
sword length for you. That said, I have heard of upper dans failing exams
in my ryu for using swords that judges considered "too short."
the noise of the sword when swung is called tachikaze, if the swords an
iaito wiv grooves in it then it easily makes a tachikaze noise, not every
sword makes such a prominent noise, it is however a sign of a true cut wiv
correct hasuji. i'd say this waz quite good forms, its basically battoho as
iaido is mainly starting from seiza, but none the less its interesting, i'd
say the practitioner would benefit from extending the arms more on the cuts
tho, but thats just my opinion. nice vid ^_^
Most impressive. Just wondering what koryu you've studied. I'm very much a
novice at iai and have been working on only the seitei gata thus far. But
the noto I'm learning is quite different from what I see you doing...much
more "horizontal" than yours, as the blade remains almost level with my obi
throughout, rather than rising up and staying on the left, as in your noto.
Can you tell me a bit more about your training background? Thanks very
much. --Tom Dineen, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Well iado is just a system for fighting from a sheathed sword. Whether one
draws and cuts in the same motion or not would depend on the situation. For
example, he draws the sword smoothly into an overhead guard, then pauses in
the guard before striking. You could take or leave this pause as necessary.
I suspect the pause is put at a point in the technique where one may want
the option of not cutting. Having said that, it's certainly true that kata
run the risk of mangling realism.
A bit of a rattle on the noto, you may need to fix the seppa to stop this.
On your kirioroshi for most kata, you stop the cut just before horizontal.
This is done a lot by Katori Shinto Ryu, I think because they are cutting
amour-clad adversaries. A kirioroshi that ends horizontal also has the
effect of bringing the sword out of the target in one movt. The arc is
similar to aikido movt. Your mastery shows, but mixing the diff ryu causes
inconsistencies I think. Just my thoughts.
Eclectic background...your movements appear graceful and unified despite
the stylistic idiosyncrasies you've cultivated. Just tested for rank in
ZNKR Seitei over the weekend, and got sankyu (my first test). Observing
that "core curriculum" of kata at a shinsa, it's easier to see mistakes or
shortcomings, particularly with good instructors on hand to help us
improve. Did you do a lot of testing in your various kyu? And did you take
up iaido before or after aikido? Thanks again.
I can see why you'd write this, but sword size in iaido can be highly
subjective...based on one's ryu, build, strength, gender, and personal
style. I train in Musō Shinden-ryū, where one typical way to determine
length is to swing a sword perpendicular to the ground, by your right
ankle. If the tip just misses touching the floor, that's the correct length
for you. That said, I have heard of upper dans failing exams because judges
deemed their swords "too short."
Well, as I said, I don't want to be critical because the chap is an
aikidoka and not primarily a swordsman. Anything I said would have to be
taken as purely the view of someone who trains in [i]muso jikiden eishin
ryu[/i]. That mostly would invalidate anything I critiqued. As to the
'pace' of execution, iaido is practised slowly to build precision but speed
comes as the years and skill mount such that, when you choose, it can be
executed at 'fight pace' :D.

I'd be interested to hear what you had to say. I was going to remark that I
enjoy this demonstration because it is performed at a believable tempo.
Most Iaido I see is very slow, and I understand why that is so, but this I
believe is more akin to what one would practice if they hope to emulate
what was done back when swords were necessary. For some reason I think this
contradicts what you were going to say :D
Very good performance but it's that blade a bit too short and to thin for
you? the Japanese sword scales are mainly designed for Japanese man aound 5
foot tall 152cm. Which mean by European standards man on average are 6'ft
183 a good 30cm taller on average. Thus the balde should be a good 7 to 8
inches longer purely because our arms are a lot longer. We need to scale up
that sword to make you look perfect.
looks smooth! I have never done any kenjustsu related martial arts but I
have recently started developing an interest in katanas and all that
entails. Is Iaido a discipline per-se, or does it come as part of Kendo? I
think I would like studying something like that, but I am not sure what I
should take up. I would really appreciate if you could give me some useful
advice-info. Thanks a lot!
My comment above was in response to Ixdee's statement "If this is the
entire sport it's pretty boring" which I felt was naive and uninformed. I
am personally very aware of the need for technique and as such iai is an
art. I also do not think kendo is just a fight. It too is very much an art
even though it includes fencing. Some dojos do emphasise the sport element,
though.
kanku, if you're trying to talk about shit please be literate so you don't
sound like a retard. how can you say i don't practice any samurai art? i
study traditional lineages of koppojutsu, jutaijutsu, koshijutsu, etc along
with weapons work like juttejutsu, bojutsu, naginatajutsu,
kusarifundojutsu, and of course kenjutsu. kiss my ass.
