Here's the complete video of Yosoichi Sato-sensei's Hakone demonstration. To fully appreciate how meticulous with the details he is, you must see the whole thing. A bit of a bio:
Sato was 59 years old at the time of this video. He is from Okayama prefecture. He initially studied under Yasuo Yamashibu before becoming Yoshikazu Yamashibu's student. That makes Sato-sensei's strain of iaido (Yamamoto) Harusuke-ha. You can see it in everything he does, and it's a very fine example of the ryuha's interpretation of MJER, right down to all the fine details. Sato's iaido very dynamic and alive, much like his teachers before him.
These videos may be purchased from Rakuten Global. They're the beige colored videos at the bottom of this webpage:

ここYosoichi佐藤先生の箱根のデモの完全なビデオだ。完全に理解する方法を細心の彼は細部で、あなたはすべてのものを参照してください必要があります。伝記のビット:
佐藤はこのビデオの時点で59歳だった。彼は岡山県からです。彼は当初義一Yamashibuの学生になる前に康夫Yamashibuに師事。これは居合道(山本)Harusuke- HAの佐藤先生の歪みになります。あなたは、彼が行うすべてのものにそれを見ることができます、そしてそれが右のすべての細部に至るまで、MJERの流派の解釈の非常に良い例です。佐藤の居合道は非常にダイナミックで生きている、彼の前に彼の教師のような多く。

Anyone with slightly better than average coordination can achieve this with enough practice, research and thought. The problem is, most perform miserably right out of the gate, unable to satisfy the primary requirement -- actually showing up to practice.

Impeccable is the only word I can think of about Sato sensei's performance. The suwariwaza on kata 3 is so perfect that I couldn't believed what I just saw. I train in Aikido and we do a lot of suwariwaza as a part of our koryu but I've never seen anyone did or doing it so perfect like Sato sensei.....

I regret you feel that way. True ways of war don't always resemble the flashy, surgical precision found in the movies. Careless execution consisting of raw speed, superfluous movements and visceral screaming are often used to hide the inadequacies of both the practictioner and the practice in which they are engaged. There is measure, power, ceremony and precision in the iaido seen in this video. Shown is the highest example of a utilitarian martial art. It is simple, effective and direct.

In as few words as I can manage, he's demonstrating sword skill from essentially the least opportune positions (aside from laying down of course) -- seated and with the sword sheathed. This is classical Japanese sword drawing. Iaido is performed slowly in most cases, only because it's most difficult doing so. This requires incredible amounts of fine motor skills. It can be done quickly too and is often demonstrated that way. It's certainly no dance. This is real and downright deadly. :)

There is a presence about this man, even with his sword sheathed, the sheer amount of focus and discipline in his eyes. I am mesmerized by the co-ordination and grace he displays, The perfect arc he makes with his blade, no hesitation just grace and experience...he feels at peace with his form. Its truely stunning.

I went to my first Iaido class last night, and now have an even higher appreciation for the art form. Its not until you have a katan, or in my case a bokken in your hands, and doing the waza thatl you come to have a true sense of how every move has a purpose. It is truly an art form to be respected...

I've been practicing Iaido for 35 years and martial are for 60 and I am embarrassed to say that I cannot remember seeing such force displayed. In the original book Miyamoto Musashi there was a chapter where Musashi went to visit one of the greatest swordsmen of his time and while walking on the stones of the path to the front of the mans house, it is said, that Musashi suddenly felt such a force of presence that Musashi himself nearly jumped off the path--I felt something similar watching Sato Sensei--someone else said it better that I, "...his kiseme is frightening."

Thank you for letting me know. I usually travel at least once a year to Hakone and thought it would be nice if it coincided with a iaido event. It will take some years though before I can count myself to that select group. =) Again, thank you for sharing this video. It is always inspiring to see great iaidoka performing showing that budo is the journey of a life time. Yoroshiku onegai itashimasu.

I'm glad you enjoy the video. I posted it in direct response to others that had been posted showing only part of the demonstration. One should recognize that in the Japanese arts, the parts immediately preceding and following the waza demonstration are just as important. Rituals showing respect and gratitude are everything in the Japanese arts. Expensive videos. They're around $120 USD and can be purchased from a place called Rakuten. I've updated the description with a link.

Correct. Pommel strike. The stomp is fumikomi and is optional. His opponent is sitting immediately to his right and decides to grab the defender's sword by the handle. The small circular motion is him wrenching it away from his opponent's attempt to grab and the strike is to the face of the opponent. The horizontal cut that follows is to the opponent's right arm just below the shoulder, then he's pulled to the floor and subsequently has is lower back cut through by the defender.

@Flashback_Jack
@Flashback_Jack 12 лет назад
Each 'waza' or form you see here describes a certain scenario whereby the swordsman is attacked. Take the form at 6:45 for example: someone approaches him from behind and attempts to grab the end of his scabbard. The swordsman wrenches the sword from the enemy's hand, turns and impales the hapless enemy in the chest with his sword then proceeds to cut him in two, and finally flings the blood from the sword and re-sheathes.
@Flashback_Jack
@Flashback_Jack 12 лет назад
It's a yearly gathering of former and current all Japan iaido champions, and it's an invite only event. The best of the best attend this gathering each May or so (if I recall). Hakone is in Kanagawa prefecture in mid-Japan. It's a very formal event, given that it takes place at a Shinto shrine, so the event is prefaced by rituals performed by priests.
@Flashback_Jack
@Flashback_Jack 12 лет назад
Which is exactly why I posted this video. The ceremony and ettiquette are the essence of the traditional Japanese arts -- all of them. Saho is the shell in which the entire practice is contained; it needs to be performed with as much if not more care than the waza themselves. The other Sato video that was edited to exclude the ettiquette which is wrong in my opinion and I had to correct that since I have the material. This will be the only iaido video on my channel for now, if ever.

So that justifies being Supremacist in thinking and promoting cultural supremacism. Yes Japan has some claims but is not the North African or Moorish Sword also Ni To! I respect the origin of Japanese contributions but I am not Japanese so don't try to insult me with supremacist assimilation! If what you are teaching is currently unsound, but you insist that is Iaido you are a cultural supremacist! Note how that slander has not been the direction Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Fo, Karate, Aikido, and countless other martial arts have taken because they realized this fact!

Its hard work...☺
@rayhallam
@rayhallam 11 лет назад
Just to add to that. The main thing that iaido is teaching me is how to go "into the zone", regardless of what is happening around you, how to focus immediately on a single moment, at will, and to carry that moment to its conclusion. It a Zen meditation, at the lower levels we must demonstrate our ability to perform 5 minutes of simple focussed tasks, later grades must perform a much more complex task over more time whilst remaining in he zone. Yosoichi Sato-sensei demonstrates this here.
