  • I think this guy was taught by stevie wonder.

  • uzz

  • eso solo lo hacen en peliculas no sabe ni envainar la katana no limpio bien y en sus cortes no habia estabilidad de maestro no tiene nada por lo menso deberia verse elegante al cortar es iaido no una pelicula barata de artes marciales

  • Thats just Coach from survivor messing around

  • Is this guy showing for iaido students or hollywood producers?

  • master... yea... whatever...

    If he is a master, than I invented the art...

  • lolz u can tell he didnt win any medals at tounaments!!! his shiburi and noto were all wrong!!! and those are two of the basic tenents of any iaido, kenjutsu, or battojutsu style!! hardly a master.....

  • idk about the moves but the way he sheathed that sword made him look like a pussy.

  • Shouldn't his time as a student of the sword have refined his spirit to the point where showmanship is essentially a meaningless pursuit?

  • i got grand master champion in case anyone is wondering.

  • Master of Triying Too Hard To Make It Look Like I Know Iaido But In Fact All I Got I Learned From Naruto, Inuyasha, And Samurai X.

  • @Th3Chick3nDud3 LOLS "HE IS TOO WEAK TO WEILD THE TETSEIGA!!!"

  • I'm not much for the subtle approach to this kind of things so here goes: This is SHIT! I hate when suckers like this claim to be masters of this and that because they have been taught by yet another shithead claiming to be master of this and that. They trick and fool good, intrested people to think this is the way it's done and that this is what it's all about, destroying the entire soul of these kind of martial arts!

  • Yeah, not so sure about the "master" bit. I am not sure what sort of iaido he is practicing, but it is not any of the mainline schools that I know or know of.

    His positions are weak, he is cutting towards his forward leg (a big no no in traditional iaijutsu with but a few exceptions) and his movements are sort of flailing about.

    He made all his cuts, so at least he understands something about hasuji, but I can't recognize the school of iai or battodo from any of his movements.

  • Good cuts but I am unfamiliar with the style, he did appear to add some flashy movements that seemed unnecassary, particularly during the chiburi (or maybe it was following it). Not much wrong with his foot work, but then again it could be because it sort of mirrors mine. I often step too far apart in training. Could someone give me a link to a more controlled demonstration of the school?

  • Master of what??

  • iaido

  • @555patrick666 Thats not Iaido it is a lame attempt at tameshigiri.

  • @555patrick666 Maybe its bullshido?

  • @555patrick666 If he is a master of iaido why does he show us a really cheesy XMA style chiburi and noto? Like I said Master of what?

  • Ridiculous.

    Shameless stupid git.

  • wow. that was stupid.

  • Dude you think thats bad check out the "3rd All Japan Hachi-Dan Championships Final"

    *facepalm*

  • Madre mia que flipao!!!!

  • Since nobody in this martial art is actually preparing themselves for real duels then "form" is important. He swings his sword without control. At times it looks like the sword is dragging him. And someone said that he's cutting towards and across his leading leg. Which I agree with..Its dangerous. Not bad cuts but like all of us he needs a lot more practice to make his motion and cuts appear with conviction.

  • thats the advantage kendo has. you duel lol. also, i agree on the leg thingy

    afaik (and i dont do any clubs or anything) when drawing with the sword your left leg should be forward to avoid cutting your right leg when drawing your sword.

    tumbs up for you :P

  • This guy isn't good. Just want to make that perfectly clear. Up it or down it however you like, but it doesn't make it any less true.

  • That's not why some think he has bad technique. The reasons, in my mind, that it is incorrect are (while being a bit showy) 1: He constantly cuts towards his leg. In iaido, this is incorrect as it is unsafe. 2: While the cuts are good due to his hasuji, I do not see so much control in any of the other motions. 3: Many things, his bowing included, seem to give off an air of pure showmanship. It is too over-dramaticized, which is one of the reasons for the poor control in transitional motions.

  • There is too much emphasis on "wow"ing people and not enough on good form (which can be overwhelmingly fast...just without all of this flailing).

    I am not meaning this as an attack on him as a swordsman, just pointing out the subtleties. I do think that those are good cuts, though.

  • @Hyoujinsama or TD;DR, This guy is doing bullshido.

  • no, we assume his technique is awful based solely on its awfulness.

  • Bluntly and perfectly put! :-)

  • lawl

  • lol nub

  • correct, but if your moves/attacks are fucked up bad then you end up cutting yourself or even better ; leaving yourself wide open for an attack

  • this is not iaido or any form of iai. he clearly did not cut from the draw he also uses two hands. miyamoto musashi would pee on this guy.

  • pretty cheesy noto. it's like those dudes who wear american flag pants.

  • i like his noto

  • perfectly angled.

  • ok.....i can do that

  • Show us.

  • I don't think so, it's actually quite hard, you have to watch the angle when you cut, or you could end up cutting yourself or whacking the post.

    Aside from that you have to re-sheth the sword without looking at it, so you could easily cut your own hand.

  • You have no idea what your talking about...Do you?

  • actually I do, the part about the angle may have caused some confusion, so let me explain what I meant: I was wrong about the part of cutting yourself, as long as you're not goofing off that shouldn't happen; the part about whacking the post was a bit off, all I meant was that it won't be a clean cut, and the post may wobble a bit from the impact (if its a clean cut it won't move at all); the sword must be re-sheathed without looking, that's one of the main fundamentals of kenjutsu and iaido.

  • "The sword must be re-sheathed without looking,"

    So when you tie your shoes thats amazing to?

    Its not as hard as you think...Newbs can't do it...But there is nothing masterful about it...

    About perfect angle....When the tamimats are standing there bear...With out any support and he will cut them so that they will not wobble... THEN its impressive....

    But currently the support the tamimats have is way to big for it to be considered impressive...

  • the point I'm trying to make with the sword re-sheathing part seem to not have been worded correctly. Sure, if you re-sheath it AFTER you put the tip of the sword into the sheath without looking, it isn't much, but to swing the sword around, and direct the tip right into the sheath by feeling alone, that required practice. Also, the non-sword hand must grip the top of the sheath, so a slight miscalculation would cause the sword to cut the non-sword hand.

  • The part about the tamimates, sure, the stands prevents them from moving too much, but if you consider the speed of the sword mid-swing, it generates enough force to move the tamimates slightly if the angle is not right. Of course if the stands are heavy, it's not easily detected, but most traditional stands are made of wood or bamboo, thus it is very light and easy to tip over.

  • huh, so he did look, my bad. btw, the non-sword hand may make putting the sword into the sheath easier, its still a bit hard, I can do it without looking (the whole process), but i did poke myself a few times before I got the hang of it (it was a blunt blade, so it was okay). True, its hard for noobs to do, but not THAT impressive if you practice, but we're getting way off topic here, I'm just criticizing TheCamraGuy for taking this too lightly, after all, iaido is an art and deserves respect.

  • iaido is a style using a katana in which the user holds him katana is his sheath until he has the advantage of quickly unsheathing it for a fast slice to the critical area. it's a style focused on killing the enemy almost instantly.

  • I was there he would have one but he didnt slash backwards so he lost

  • pourquoi tand de cinéma! technique propre gest ok, l'homme est complexe? l'exercise est le suport mais de quoi et pour qui????

  • well, that was pretty cool
