The Institute of Traditional Asian Martial Arts celebrated its 14th Anniversary Saturday, October 20th. Here is a demonstration of Bangai no Bu and Morote Hayanuki.
I would like to say that this dojo is Beautiful, and I really enjoyed watching this form! and for those who have something negative to say,well jealousy is the root of all evil. You must be at peace with yourself you will do nothing but make others work harder to be better than they already are. Just remember that God don't like ugly! ~Great Video! ~Soke Steve Hatfield 9th Dan
I enjoyed watching this and I also enjoy knowing and training with Holland Sensei. Could some of the critics/masters who left comments on this video please provide the links to your demonstrations? I would like to learn from your visual excellence and not just your verbal excellence.
If I may, I would like to correct your comment regarding cutting. Dropping the kisaki down the back is not wrong and is an acceptable style, but it depends on your teachers. MJER do this. MSR don't. But some MJER don't, just depends. Older styles tend to drop it. In seitei, below horizontal is a no no. Cutting below horizontal again depends on what you are doing. Seitei doesn't on standing forms, and only slightly on seated. Koryu forms vary, but the cuts are generally below horizontal in MJER.
MJER does have a bigger swing but the way I'm taught you're not supposed to bring the sword back that far. I've been told that at least in MJER the sword isn't supposed to drop back more than horizontal.
Amazing vid...he is very skilled and a pleasure to watch...it gives all of us who follow on the path of Bushido, something to aspire to. BTW...24 years of Shotokan and 16 of Eishin Ryu in dedicated study.
I'm a beginner with only 2.5 years of experience from different school (I believe with the same origin though), but I saw beauty in your Enbu. Very difined movements. I enjoyed watching this. Thank you. Yuko, Musoshinden Ryu
I was taught iaido from my kendo sensei a long time ago. He never said anything about the name of the style. Now I see it here. Thank you for letting me see your video. I learned a little of Eishin Ryu iaido. Thank you for letting me know the name of my iaido style.
