The fact that every step in the making of a katana is performed by an artisan is amazing. The attention to detail and level of concentration exhibited is awe inspiring. Heirloom quality indeed, a true work of art. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, not only was it informative, but entertaining as well, and the background music fits well with this video. Thank you.
Bonjour, je vous remercie pour cet échange très intéressant ! Nous sommes nous-mêmes un dojo francophone (belge plus exactement), et nous pratiquons également le KSR depuis de nombreuses années. Il est toujours enrichissant de pouvoir découvrir de nouvelles propositions techniques, voire d’autres dojos, renouveler notre art. Je trouve l’effort particulièrement louable, et je serai vraiment intéressé de venir échanger avec vous (en France) sur les raisons qui vous ont poussées à métamorphoser la logique triangulaire du « système » Katori (shimeru, prise de ligne de 45° grâce aux hanches, ou encore transfert de l’équilibre du hara, etc.) pour une dynamique plus désynchronisée axée sur une seule ligne, et composée de frappes circulaires en extension. Je vous remercie encore pour votre réponse (ainsi que de la passion que vous témoignez dans vos différentes vidéos). Au plaisir!
Kata's cannot be understood from the outside, it is necessary to study. I'm not allowed to explain the details, but there are many interesting official sensei videos including this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yFTG94EbevA.html Understanding the kata obviously requires many years of work
What is the purpose of the spin the person with the naginata does? Im looking to study naginatajutsu personally since I'm no where near a dojo that teaches. Edit: reading the annotations in the Deity and the Sword by the late Otake shihan calls this a whirling turn. It looks like the back shaft of the naginata is meant to deter a cut from behind while one is doing the turn. They were going up to jodan so they were most likely doing an attack to men. Youve gotta be FAST to do this and very situationally aware to know when you can do this. All part of what the kata is teaching here im sure among many things.
Hi there, I’ve been practice Katori Shintoryu style martial arts for one year. To get into this school of martial art we signed some kind of a plea to a Japanese martial God that we are not telling the techniques hidden in the drills to the public. You can find a local dojo and learn all the techniques.
@gongbowang8936 aftually the first article of the pledge says the practitioner will not have the impertinence to demonstrate or discuss details of the ryu to non members or even members. So id consider that oath already broken unless the headmaster gave one permission
The spin is a parry, using the blunt "stick" end of the weapon. Why use spin and not just parry? One of the reason is because it is a good bait, people tend to charge in and attack when they see a spin, which are often seen as a self-exposing moment (weakpoint), and this spinning movement takes advantage of that.
Awesome, thanks for posting this. For some reason it's hard to find what Kenjutsu sessions are actually like without actually going to a session in person. A question I have though - isn't this stuff normally super secretive? The UK Katori Shinto Ryu site says that you need to sign a blood oath, with one of the four articles being "I will not have the impertinence to discuss or demonstrate details of the ryū to either non-members or members, even if they are relatives". Does a video like this not count as demonstrating details of the Ryu?
This is a delicate question indeed. firstly, my videos are not demonstrations, teachings or "the way". This is the life of our dojo with successes and failures. It is very easy to see the forms of the kata. There are many official videos, demos, books and others. But understanding the school behind the form is another matter. I will not show the most advanced forms, nor discuss the techniques on the internet. Those who wish will have to go see Sensei in his dojo, take keppan and practice for years. The balance is difficult, hiding everything is not the solution either
Thanks a lot . I remembered how I went to training. At that time, there was really a shortage of such videos to repeat at home what you didn’t have time to learn in dojo. ありがとうございます。
the goal? my pleasure. what is the purpose of your comments? I see your comments here and elsewhere but I don't see the added value. internet is vast, go somewhere else than here since you don't like it.
@@cortosama The purpose of my comment is to make you think what are you practicing for. And, please, don’t teach me where to go. Concentrate on teaching yourself.
What is the handle length to blade length ratio of this bokuto?!! Don't get me wrong, but sometimes the attention to small details determine the meaning of everything in the diversity of human activity. That's why, despite its precision to the details of the form, synchronization to the opponent's actions, speed and other building blocks, what you do seems extremely contradictory (given the extreme dependence on personal habits).
@@burgondix9348 I'm not here to prove anything to anyone (much less on the internet); I live in the reality of modern times, not in some Chanbara movie where we lie to each other about who is better or some such nonsense... My question is specific and not about the skills of the people in the video, but their clearly visible gaps despite the demonstrated skills (things that illusory support some of the aspects of the action, but actually hinder the understanding of its essence). Therefore, I do not find it necessary to demonstrate anything to visually "prove" myself... As say - "By looking it is good to be able to see, and by listening it is good to be able to hear"; in this sense - "He who was able to hear - heard, who was able to see - saw, but... because we are dealing with a text is more appropriate to convert to - "who has been able to understand (what he has read) - has understood".
@@philswaim392 I have a theory that it’s bait. Notice how the naginata user spins backwards and then swings at the stomach which would’ve been exposed when the sword user goes to strike. I don’t do KSR so I don’t really know and kata are often not meant to be literal so who knows
🥺Traditional Muay Thai music is a magical, mysterious and special.✨ 🥺There's definitely something deep and spiritual.🙏 😍I heard it and got goosebumps.👍❤🔥
For me as a dancer, I particularly value the honesty of a movement and he gives each movement its value and time. The awareness and effort he puts into it are fascinating to me. The Ram Muay of Sagat and Buakaw are my favourites. Samart' is also superiour
