Yushinkan which teaches Yushin-Ryu is an Iai, Kenjutsu, and Tameshigiri Dojo with its headquarters in Osaka, branches in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Mie. About 100 students are training in Yushin-ryu, and I have trained at the Kyoto branch for about a year now, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. There are some interesting unique characteristics to this ryuha that you wouldn’t see anywhere else, so I hope you can watch this video until the end to learn about it.

Very nice Budo i hope it never dies out

@richt63 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic. Women samurai were few. But they did make an impression like Tomoe Gozen. Love this video. Great to see your dojo.

@AnastasiaCooper 2 месяца назад

I joined a Kenjutsu training in Germany, our Sensei is from Japan and it is very interesting to see both similarities and differences to your dojo. I fully agree with Yushin Sensei on the financial aspect. Seeing people so dedicated to Budo arts, and people that genuinely have a talent for teaching, I fully agree they should be able to make it their fulltime job and be able to support a family of their own.

@RoninTF2011 11 месяцев назад

This could be an opportunity for anyone who stays in Kyoto for a longer time (a semester? found a job in Japan??) Had the chance to take part in one training session there. And it was amazing!! So your statemen at 13:30....100% true 😀

@monicab204 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful!! So, interesting to hear Yushin Sensei's answers and thoughts! And the dojo is so inviting. If I was in Japan, I would love to visit and attend. Thank you, Shogo, for another fabulous video!!❤

@shooter2055 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful stuff! I especially enjoyed the participation by the women!! I would be proud to see my granddaughters training so carefully!

@sevenproxies4255 11 месяцев назад

I can relate to training with sharpened katana as being a spice to life. It reminds me of going to the range and shooting guns. It's fun training yourself to become a more proficient marksman of course. But you're also always aware that you're handling and operating a deadly weapon so while also being fun to do, you take it very seriously.

@taz2906 11 месяцев назад

I love that women have specific moves and slight differences in things like katana bowing. And I love that someone like me with no experience but a deep love of samurai culture and swords can still try and learn.

@raaaaandy_ 11 месяцев назад

Great video Shogo! Visiting the dojo was extremely fun during my Kyoto visit. Will be back again 💪🏽😊

@TobyDN1982 4 дня назад

I still have your sensei's explanation about the motivation of training with a potentially dangerous and deadly weapon and the excitement it can bring in our everyday routine. I'm a sportshooter here in Germany and own and shoot several firearms that need lots of training and not everybody is allowed to do. I feel graced of having reached a level of training where I am able to own my very own guns and rifles and enjoy competing with other shooters. So I really feel your sensei's words ...!

@markuskolenda2330 11 месяцев назад

Great Training. It's a bit Like Mugai Ryu. We also train Iai, Kenjutsu and Tameshigiri. 😊

@DragonWizdom 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video with insight on your dojo and its family tradition. I believe the Dojo will find a way to overcome today’s challenges 🔥🔥🐉

@raymondsosnowski9717 11 месяцев назад

The most important item in doing Kenjutsu is the intent of both participants. Without intent, these kata are just choreography. Solo kata training needs to be supplemented with pair training in order to fully understand sword dynamics.

@derfreisi4317 11 месяцев назад

Cant wait to come back to the dojo. I plan to come next year again, for about 3 weeks.

@anigraff6525 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing 💖🙏 that's really inspiring!

@DocMonkWarrior 11 месяцев назад

The curriculum of Yu Shin Ryu is creative and interesting. In particular, Dan ranks for Tamishigeri. I am a deshi of the Itto Tenshin Ryu. I have always felt that there are many aspects to Kenjustu. Not the least of which are Iai Jutsu (kata), Kumitachi, and Tameshigeri.

@malikzubic9200 10 месяцев назад

What an awesome video, I really enjoyed watching the training session from the cameras point of view. It made me feel as if I was there in the dojo. Such a magical display of tradition. I truly wish it never dies out.

@cloakersmoker 10 месяцев назад

I have literally learned something new at every point in this video, especially the Iaido portion. Well done!

@jessintokyo 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful video Shogo san! Visiting Yushin kan and meeting you in Kyoto was truly an amazing experience🤗

@glorkmoonlight 11 месяцев назад

Thank you Shogo for the amazing video! It was great to see the training, I hope one day I can try it too!

@gabb7682 Месяц назад

Loved your video and detailed explanations. I ll try my luck and book a session for this tuesday

@elchapito4580 11 месяцев назад

Very informative and enjoyable video, as usual. The Sensei seems like an extremely competent, down-to-earth and no-nonsense gentleman.

@DarkShaman667 11 месяцев назад

Great video! Thanks!

@techandnerdy8280 8 месяцев назад

What an awesome video. I love getting a glimpse into the training of different styles of iaido and other martial arts. I would love to see this Ryu come to the US. Keep up the great work!

@davidrobbins6906 11 месяцев назад

A very interesting and enjoyable experience to watch and learn. Thank you. I would very much enjoy attending.

@gunblazingmutant 5 месяцев назад

I would love to take classes like that in Japan. Reminds me of when I took Isshinryu a town over from where I live in TN. Granted we didn't study bushido as vigorously as we did empty hand but learning Bo, Tonfa, and Sai has given me confidence to try other weapons, and I've always had a keen interest in the Katana.

@jgwmain 9 месяцев назад

This art is so beautiful. I truly wish to someday learn Iaido and make enough money to study there from Yushin Sensei. I don’t know how to memorize things I learn just from watching it once but I am willing to learn how to. I really want to learn Iaido and practice it for a very long time so I can strive to become the best version of myself every day. This video moved me very much. Thank you Shogo. 😄🙇🏻‍♂️

@MatSpeedle 11 месяцев назад

Very interesting and informative for me as a Traditional Shotokan Karate Sensei to see the similarities and differences between our martial art practices. Thank you for letting us see into your Dojo and your amazing Iai training. For me Kata is always my favorite and seeing yours was a great honor, OSS

@Hipper23 9 месяцев назад

Just from watching the small clips, I have already learnt so much, I'm sure that your sensei is proud of the Dojo.

@mst2203 9 месяцев назад

Very cool. I'd love to experience that. I also would like to visit Kyoto to see the tea fields too. I'm in the US, but I love Japanese tea and Katanas.

@NinjaRabies 11 месяцев назад

Great video! I will definitely sign up for the experience next time I'm in Kyoto.

@YamaneAki 11 месяцев назад

i really enjoyed this video and have alot of intrest for it, i really think it was amazing to learn and watch the pepole do the training. You are the person who made me get my intrest for the katana agian, and this time i am very sure i will keep trying the home traning video since i live a place where its hard to find iaido lessons. You have inspeierd me to much there is no way i cant thank you. I wish you great luck in the future shogo-san and thank you so much. From: Akira

@bjornf8518 11 месяцев назад

While I agree with the sentiment that art will not survive unless people can dedicate themselves to it, but I also agree with the sentiment that using traditional culture to earn money risks diluting the art, promoting only what "sells", rather than the whole art. In countries where work hours are strictly regulated, there seems to be a greater possibility to practice martial arts, or training in some other art, after work. And the way it works in Sweden, at least, most dojos and other "hobby" associations can get a big part of their funds from state grants, meaning that membership costs can be kept low, and locale fees can be compensated. These two things has enabled alot of Swedes to enjoy and hand down many different arts (not trying to glorify Sweden, just talking from personal experience). One problem with doing this in Japan, as far as I know, is that Japanese people tend to work very long hours, and I have never heard of small, local dojos getting grants or stipends from the government.

@sandibey.official 11 месяцев назад

Hi, Shogo-san. I am Sandi, your subscriber from Indonesia. Previously, I would like to thank Shogo-san for introducing one of Japanese culture, the katana. Because of the videos about katana that shogo-san uploaded. I have finally started my katana training and have bought an iaito as well. I was very impressed with the shogo-san training video with seki-sensei who introduced "Asayama Ichiden Ryu". Now every morning I always start my day by watching Shogo-san's video with Seki-sensei while following his movements. I wish shogo-san would also make and upload a video like this about "The Day in The Training of Asayama Ichiden Ryu". I'm really looking forward to it, ありがとうございます

@kendallwolfenbarger4952 4 месяца назад

Wonderful I really hope I get the opportunity to see the dojo and possibly meet while I'm in Japan this year

@nonfb 10 месяцев назад

I am a month late to the video, but I must say this was really interesting to watch! I love the idea of combining iai, kenjutsu and tameshigiri into one.

@floydandune5194 11 месяцев назад

I really like this training concept.

@Madarauchiha-pt3od 11 месяцев назад

very nice video Shogo! i would love to see a vlog like "a day in my life" for getting to know a little more about you! only if you'd like to of course^^

@londontheriault5138 11 месяцев назад

@DedicatedSpirit8 7 месяцев назад

I am testing for DAN in January in Ryushin Shouchi Ryu style with Yahagi Sensei! I owe Seki sensei and Shogo a great deal. Their videos came into my life at the exact moment it was needed to inspire me to pick up the Japanese weapon known as uchikatana. It started me down a path i never knew i'd be a part of. I am forever grateful.

@istalkghosts497 11 месяцев назад

Epic presentation 😎

@stormrhode2330 6 месяцев назад

I was in Kyoto last month and I wish I had known about this! I don't know if you still do this or will next time I'm in Japan (probably next year), but I hope I'll get an opportunity to join you. 🙏🏻

@knivesbox13 11 месяцев назад

Can't wait to watch the full video but wanted to ask? Can you make a katana collection video? Thanks in advance and I love you're channel

@adamrodriguez1194 11 месяцев назад

Looks fun.

@archmagos1436 10 месяцев назад

Hi, shogo! Love the video, but I was curious -- might we be able to get a video about Uesegi Kenshin sometime, sort of like you did for Miyamoto Musashi?

@Yuffie777 11 месяцев назад

Well that's one badass thumbnail

@HashimeYT 10 месяцев назад

I've been very interested in Iai for a while now and, after watching this video, I might just have to see if I can swing by this coming August when I visit Japan! Edit: Just made a reservation to come on August 25th! Really looking forward to it!

@jamesporquez3682 11 месяцев назад

This vid made me love swords.

@fourshore502 8 месяцев назад

the way i feel about it is that its meditation but with your entire body from the moment you start until you finish and that should be the point of every martial art. a complimentary exercise to life itself no matter what life throws at you, even if ofc you need to learn other skills also to handle life. but like he said it can also be a spice to life to make it feel more exciting. if you have trained martial arts well it can even help you with mundane but difficult tasks like a dreaded phonecall or a traffic incident and no i dont mean to do violence but to have a clear and calm mind.

@trmon8890 11 месяцев назад

I agree with your statement on sustainability creating a safe space for cultural things to survive. I know in the USA people like free but more people see value in a product they pay for. I don't know if it's the same in Japan.

@fevid7617 9 месяцев назад

I'd love to see a video abut the Burakumin class in Japan celebrating their rights movement. My mom was a high school foreign exchange student in the 70s and we think we're going back to visit her old host family soon. It'd be nice to see you talk positively about the changes that have happened in Japan since then.

@rlsxs4ever 11 месяцев назад

one major issue with the "entrepreneur stance" in budo is the risk of being overwhelmed by the capitalist ethos and compromising the values of budo for the sake of profit. it requires a very delicate balance. i wonder if state-sponsored public policies aimed at promoting sports and cultural practices couldn't represent a way to preserve budo as a sustainable career path while keeping it away from the downsides of commercialization. i hope yushin-sensei succeeds in his efforts

@raymondsosnowski9717 11 месяцев назад

The instructor's paradox as I had heard it from an old T'ai Chi Ch'uan master c. 1988: Before the student is ready to learn, the teacher will not get through to him or her; when the student finally gets it, the teacher is superfluous. My own take on this is "I cannot teach you anything, that is, I cannot make you learn, but you as a student can learn anything when you are ready to discover it." As a teacher, my job is to act as a shepherd, letting you learn while keeping you pointed in the right direction on the path.
