Special Eishin Ryu Iaijutsu training with Sekiguchi Komei

[budomaster11]

Sekiguchi is a terrible teacher and his technique is sloppy.

[daddydojang]

@budomaster11 Wow. That's pretty harsh. Did you train with him? Why do say that?

[boodoochild]

Why the scabbard between the legs? Is it a "positive stop" to train position with tactile cues?

Much respect to Sekiguchi and his students!!

[Hoshoyamato]

The scabbard is between the legs, so that motodachi does not move. Motodachi only gives the downcoming blade minimal way to pass through between the hands. The attacker´s aiming line for kirioroshi is the forehead, chest, cut the hands and stop hitting the scabbard´s koiguchi. The scabbard is there to have an actual aiming point in this setting. The goal of this is to develop a feeling for, timing, distance, loose fear of the opponent´s blade, precision of cutting...

Very neat. I've met a student of Mr Bushey and was very impressed with his enthusiasm and insights into his training. I've also come across brandon-san's blog from the Lubbock group. You all have something outstanding going on in your path with Sekiguchi sensei. Happy training!
