Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'expliquer comment Gisaburo shitaro à pu avoir un dépendant à notre époque alors qu'il c'est suicider avant même d'avoir eubune femme et des enfants ? 😶 Car ça me rend perplexe
I KNOW it looks like a demo,and it looks fake. I practice Hapkido, which is similar to Aikido, but in my eyes went harder. Trust me when i say that people who are proficient in Aikido have a very specific skill and talent which easily translates to all other arts! The way that their posture translates DIRECTLY into their power is astounding. If you have 0 experience with aikido, i encourage you to see and FEEL it for yourself. You'll be impressed
Akido demos may be nice to watch, but what it reveals is fake and unrealistic defence so-called countermoves. After grabbing or attempting a strike, poof the attacker makes no further movements or strikes. Maybe nice to watch but seriously flawed.
I don't have Iaito, I have a sakabato shinken. My tsuka ito came loose and has to be replaced after 13 years of use. It has been my training partner for all these years because I am in America and only recently discovered Iaito, otherwise I'd have purchased one years ago. I will be replacing my tsuka ito myself, you can find helpful videos on RU-vid if you don’t know how. My saya also needs to be tightened, sanded and repainted. I will be doing all that myself as well. My only hope is that I won't need to separate the tsuka from it's fittings to re wrap it. Thank you for video and the tip on tightening the koiguchi, I was unaware of that process and I very much appreciate the knowledge.
How is Daito Ryu a Koryu Budo?? The founder Takeda was born in 1860? So strange to claim koryu. And don't give me this prince Miyamoto 1122 ad nonsense.
Description for people that aren't familiar with Yagyu Shingan-Ryu or even Japanese Budo/Bujutsu (Traditional martial arts from Japan). 0:50 Jujutsu/Taijutsu (Unarmed combat) The taijutsu style of Yagyu Shingan-Ryu was created during Feudal Japan, during times of war between clans, due to that the art mainly focuses in throws/knockdowns. Atemi (Blows/Striking techniques, like punching, kicking, elbow and knee strikes) exists in the art, but it is barely used. The reason why is because warriors would usually fight in armour of course and atemi techniques wouldn't be so effective. 4:04 Bojutsu (Combat with the bo staff) The bojutsu style used in Yagyu Shingan-Ryu is a little different from the one you would see in Kobudo (Martial arts from Okinawa, mainly in Karate). In this case the focus is to fight with the bo staff while being able to keep some distance from the opponent. I believe Sojutsu (Combat with the Yari) is also trained in Yagyu Shingan-Ryu and the focus in the art really is to keep distance from the opponent. I do have to say this my personal opinion, but the style of bojutsu shown does remind me of Jodo/Jojutsu in a way. 7:20 Kenjutsu (Combat with the Katana, in this case more specifically the bokken of a Uchigatana) Since I'm not super familiar with kenjutsu I cannot really tell what makes this style different from other styles. The only thing I can tell is that it can be similar to style taught in Yagyu Shikage-Ryu. Unlike Yagyu Shingan-ryu, a koryu (Traditional school of Japanese martial arts) that teaches many martial arts with weapons. Yagyu Shikage-Ryu only focuses in Kenjutsu (And MAYBE Iaido/Battodo, but I could be wrong). Both koryu are related in terms of their history. 10:24 Kenjutsu (But in this case it seems the girl is using a shoto, a bokken used to mimic combat with a Wakizashi, a shorter katana used mainly as a backup sword/blade) Kenjutsu not only teaches combat with the Uchigatana (The traditional Katana you would see in media nowadays, like movies), it also teaches how to fight with the Wakizashi and Tanto. Wakizashi is pretty much a shorter katana, while the Tanto would be more considered as a dagger, being shorter the Wakizashi. Unlike the uchigatana, usually handled with 2 hands, the Wakizashi is mainly handled with only one hand. In the demonstration we can see the older man using a staff to simulate a traditional katana, while the girl uses a shoto to simulate the wakizashi. 11:18 Jujutsu/Taijutsu (But this time it seems to be a demonstration of techniques to disarm someone with a Tanto) In Jujutsu, students are not only taught how to fight unarmed, but also how to be able to disarm an opponent. In the video, one of the men is using another type of bokken, but this time to simulate a Tanto. 12:29 End of the demonstration I believe I should say I'm not a student of Yagyu Shingan-Ryu, but I'm a huge fan of the koryu and sometimes try to understand the techniques on my own. My main interest being Taijutsu. Even though it's not popular outside of Japan, I do hope it continues to exist and perhaps one day grow outside of Japan.
I'm under the impression I'm one of the few people that have never heard of Ms. Gerrity. I admire her energy. I admire she took the risks of moving to Japan at such a young age. Wish I had.
Thank you for this. When I was uchi-deshi at the old Iwama dojo, Hitohira-san was my morning weapons partner almost every day for three months and my frequent training partner in evening class. I learned an immense amount from him and was always grateful for his surprisingly gentle tutelage.
