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.
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".
