Ogawa Ryu Battojutsu Burgos

[MrOphachew]

Are those sheathed wooden practice swords?

[Charlatan2807]

I like Battojutsu, doble technique, never catch out of guard...

[WayfinderTerra]

Where can I get a bokken with a sheath?

[TYPEArchANGEL]

i'm sorry, but i'm still confused.

what is the difference between kenjutsu and all other sword-wielding martial arts, and battojutsu?

i'd really appreciate the help.

[WayfinderTerra]

@TYPEArchANGEL Battoujutsu is a form of kenjutsu. Kenjutsu in general means "Sword Technique"(or close to it), and with Kenjutsu lies many forms. Kind of like cars: Take a Ford for instance. If you tell someone that you drive a Ford car/truck, their going to ask what make (ex. Focus, F150, Mustang, etc.) If you're talking about swordsmanship, you practice Kenjutsu under differing styles such as Battoujutsu.

[SakamaruNetoi]

@TYPEArchANGEL WayfindTerra is correct. However to get more specific, battoujutsu. which translates to "drawing technique" (or something of the sort) is a technique that is essentially cutting from right out of the saya (scabbard). So when you draw your sword, you are also cutting. There are also ways to avoid and defend without drawing, then quickly drawing and finishing your opponent in one stroke (or at least that's the goal), such as in this video.

[BloodyCrAzYzzz]

Damn these guys where fast.

[averit]

Uhhh... I wouldn't dare to use some of those techniques but it looks pretty effective :)

[ssj4gotenks00]

where do you find you bokken's with saya?

[fingerprint211b]

that was amazing

[BK201Pila]

Very,very interesting techniques! Ju-jutsu mixed with sword, I really like it! I belive that these techniques is not only from battlefield,but mainly from feudal samurai's everyday life.

Those two swordsman are skilled too, respect!

[Aikidoka6666]

very nice control!!!

[jerrydbeckham]

i like this verrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy nice tecnique.

[furtifjh]

What a speed OO

Imagine what it should have been during feudal era and Bakumatsu !

[KnightlySirJames1]

What conditions affected your styles development, and when was it codified? It seems very efficient and relevant to real battle conditions. The way that it deals with taking command in close range before the sword is even drawn is fantastic. I would be interested to learn what influence such authoritative responses to attacks.

[PunkHippie1971]

You are talented warriors.

[Nastuf]

Beautiful...

[rubin3364]

Are there any videos that can teach me to use a sword like this? I don't have any place near me that can teach me this.

[KomaruKirinashi]

@rubin3364 Get a stick, get a friend, get a stick for the friend. Follow the video, pausing frequently if need be. Practice the technique often, try changing things up. Come up with counters to the technique, and then counters to the counters.

Find a new technique you like, repeat.

[kendoka0girl]

That was fantastic!

[VictoryTKDSouth]

Damn, that was nice

[Slidemoon]

I love how the saya is used as a weapon. Very interesting demo. Thanks for posting!

[Nosferatum1066]

Nice shinken and zanshin !

[harryfokker]

The Kendo as like Karate-Do were created to be Sports-Martial Arts, but Battojutsu is a real Art Killing Sword created before Meiji Goberment

[xxwes997xx]

excelent performance and skill! +5

[ThatNateGuy]

The more I watch, the more I am impressed with the Martial Arts schools in Brazil.

[Hixari]

This is one of the best demonstrations I've ever witnessed. You two understand each others swords and it was performed as if you two were really fighting. That's how every swordsman should practice as if it were a real life situation. great focus and spirit. haha sorry, i got a little carried away XD

[thanossweet4]

does anyone know any book that i could read the basics of these battojutsu techs?where i live i cant find somewhere to go and learn thanks guys

[1315017990]

@thanossweet4 flashing steel 2nd edition teaches you all basic forms of japanese sword fighting techniques

[1315017990]

@thanossweet4 battojutsu is almost the same as iaido or iaijutsu so try looking up some books in that area, I recomend Flashing Steel 2nd Edition

[imthemaker]

its nice... i just wanted to see them a bit flow... it looks like a robor. one two tree... it dsnt work like that... no one is going to wait for you to counter... it is just a personal opinion... the technique is really good... only the flow is completelly lost...

[Namiwakiru]

There are quite a few techs i havnt seen in Battoujutsu before, saying that these were pretty technical and very impressive.

[littleapeman]

drawing is too slow...

[lightsparks]

Wow thats cool :)

[Rafroo]

Haha its funny how the 1st combo overkill the opoenent XD...the 1st hit would have killed it already...make some tutorial vids pleâse? ^^ really interested in Battojutsu but...the closer I can find to it, is Shinkendo..I couldnt find any Battojutsu dojo or video or anything

[alterTrinityfang]

where can i get boken like that... with the scabbard and guard with it.

[Rafroo]

its isnt hard to find, try to search Bokken with Tsuba and for the scabbard you normally find it separately.

[Namiwakiru]

I found a good one on EBAY a few years ago. Mine isnt so much a boken as the blade is styled much thinner to be more effective for iai and battou training. Try, "wooden practise sword" as a search

[tomateradio]

Those bokken/mokgum with a scabbard are great.

[tomateradio]

I own one of those bokken. Though I take Kumdo classes, not Iaido nor Battojutsu. I'd love to one I reach 2nd Dan in Kumdo. This vid is great.

[CoffinPuppet]

Very nice display 5/5 *

[erigbzh]

Absolutely excellent. 5 stars.

[chillout010]

Good stuff.

[Piotrek830324]

Very Nice! How is this bokken made with scabbard?? was it made extra?? 5/5 Stars

[Daco65]

not sure what your question is but my bokken came with a scabbard
