@@user-uq2sz9yl7z あります。素晴らしい居合術をされます。

Thank you very much !!!

I was wondering the same thing. Guess it was an editing error.

@@luilui243 In MJER you turn to the right before sitting in Migi and you turn to the left before sitting in Hidari - it is not where your opponent is...

Your demo is much better ☺️ Jokes aside, what would you improve? I'm just learning and not sure what details to be aware of.

@@KF1 I'm not criticising anything nor am I going to teach. I'm not allowed to, because I'm only Shidan. But here are a few tips, if you are interested. 1) You don't grip the sword so far forward. Also you hold the sword like an egg, your right hand ring finger should cover the first Menuki, while the middle finger of you left hand covers the second one. 2) All movements should flow into each other. You start off slow and reach peak speed during the cut. (But don't rush anything, if you are a beginner. Better slow and correct than quick and wrong.) 3) During a "normal" Nôtô, the Kissaki is never points upwards. Don't push the Tsuba down sheathing the sword. Keep it level and let it slide into the Saya. 4) Use both hands drawing or sheathing the sword - meaning: Pull the saya straight back as you want the Kissaki to enter or exit the Koiguchi. Don't pull the Saya up like a gear knob (which was one of my favorite mistakes). x) It's not that anything is inherently wrong, the kata are all basically there, but Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu looks/feels different, if you watch a master from Japan. y) If you seriously want to learn, get a good teacher. If you want to watch a decent youtube video on MJER seiza kata, I guess this one is a little more accurate: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U2qhLOR0aKQ.html

@@DarkShaman667 Thanks for sharing. I like all of these elements. Have only been practicing Iaido for a short while, though I have been cutting targets for 10 years. I understand much of Japanese sword practice is arbitrary and stylistic, though there is still lots to look for in terms of general good sword handling. I think people get a little lost in a style sometimes, though that's okay. I like elements from many schools. Thanks for the writeup, I will keep these in mind.

@@KF1 Gladly! Now that I am thinking about it, I started doing Iaido in 2012. Then there was a Covid break and now I am trying to get back into it.

@@DarkShaman667 I agree the timing is really awkward.

You know most batto is based off of mjer, right?
