the only thing i don't like about Japanese martial art is it involves too many spiritual movements. Also it involves too much shouting and sound expression every time they strike. Those are just unnecessary.
the shouting contracts the transverse abs and the body trunk core, causing them to flex and tense. This provides protection against a possible strike against the area, as well as providing more power and strength when they hit someone. A good punch, for example, doesn't originate from the arm, but from turning the hips
it's also a psychological boost, helping someone to mentally psych him or herself up during a fight and giving them the impression of aggression and intimidation.
Nah, the sword would have to cut down on it adjacently, but the proper way you block with the bo and the sword would cause the strike to hit on a tangent. Notice in the kata there are basicly no direct edge on surface contact that would cause a cut.
That's why they are practicing. Not like anyone has ever dropped their sword. I remember making contact with my bokken and it bounced off like a tennis ball and flew out of my hand.
yes, but not in this case. the swordman also lost concentration (suki). he should have stept in and cut de bo wielder. that 's the difference between real swordfighters and this guys.
Ha ha ha. Well yes I would laugh at my opponent if his weapon had slipped out of his hands...but while doing so I would have cut him down....then laughed some more....I mean like come on! You would laugh at him as well because it would mean that you could win the fight easily! Think about it, the fight gets really intense...then suddenly his weapon slips out of his hands....but it would have been funnier if it slipped out of his hands and hit the swordsman in the face!
The cuts are not directed towards the bo-weilder. Most of the time the are not even close.. What do you intend to gain from training a kata were the attacks never reach you? Wont that create a very false sense of distance?
Notice how everytime the sword wielder moves in the bo wielder moves out. This is practice to keep his distance from the sword. The bo has longer range therefore the bo wielder has no need to put himself in as close as the sword.
If this was a demo/practice of sword techniques, you might notice something like the sword wielder moving in as the bo moves in. The truth is, the sword is a weak weapon, and getting in close for an attack is hard against a longer weapon.
Actually these men are performing it quite fast. Even so, training is training, fighting is fighting. Slow movements in training doesn't automatically say that this is the speed they'll use during real fighting, nor does it say that the fighter is limited by training in slower speeds.
Are you sure? I thought Sugawara learnt under the Sugino branch and established his own, while the one that is similar to Otake's branch is Hatekayama (who received hamon, but that is another story)?
Sugawara studied with Otake in the 70's to the 80's and at some point broke away. If Sugawara has trained with Sugino then thats the first I've heard of it. The two styles (Sugino & Sugawara) doesnt look similar in my eyes though.
Correction: The two styles do have one thing in common and thats the fluidity of movement. I think this is something that came from Sugino and Sugawara's aikido training.
Ah yes, you are correct. I had mixed up Hatakeyama and Sugawara. Hatakeyama is the one who established his own branch after learning from Sugino, and Sugawara after learning from Otake. So there are actually 4 branches of TSKSR!
never seen sugawara himself, but al his students are moving funny, with some great basic mistakes. fore example the connection between left hand and hara in gone in seigan no kamae or at the and of a maki-uchi
I had an opportunity to train with some TSKSR students some years ago. I love the style, and have since incorporated some of the ideas from their school into my daily practice (I'm MJER). Despite the dropping of the bo, I enjoy these KSR videos. Keep them coming!

these guys did not. not saying that they are bad performers, there mindset is just not there yet.
but that will come with the passing of years.

Were this sparring, yes, I would agree. But practicing kata like this? No. That said, laughing was a little out of order.

@TomoeMichieru
kata in koryu can be seen as a way to forge a fighting spirit.
so when the technical fase is done. this fase will come forward.
these guys are practicing on technic.
fore a senior there is no differnece between his mindset in sparring or kata.
in koryu there is no sparring. so it must all come from kata.
these kata got many levels who will reveal themselves, when you practice a lot.

You claim the sword is weak???
I wish i could test my sword (bokken that is) against your long ranged weapon....as a sparring kind of test....
Bladed0edge0razor 3 years ago
Yes, from an unbiased viewpoint a poll arm is a superior weapon compared to the sword. I don't claim it; it's a fact.
Any sword ideals you have can and should be applied to all weapons, even guns, but remember a trained hand is more reliable then any stone or stick.
I'd gladly spar you any time.

I think so too. Though it might also be Sugawara-branch as they are not too different from another. (unlike Sugino-branch for instance).

sugawara was a student of otake.
i think this is sugawara style.
never seen sugawara himself, but al his students are moving funny, with some great basic mistakes. fore example the connection between left hand and hara in gone in seigan no kamae or at the and of a maki-uchi
