fantastic jitte kata

[sazen9]

The jitte and jo techniques were very beatuiful.

As always their swordsmenship teaches you some thing new every time you see the katas preformed.

you could not be more right. Thanks for your comment, it made me glad that someone still thinks so.

I love the Jitte Kata. You dont see those kinds of weapons very much anymore. Does anyone know if Kuroda Tetsuzan Shihan teaches to westerners? Or is his dojo private?

[Defsolid]

Google it, i think i've seen somewhere a dojo in Texas that study under Kuroda sensei.

Thanks for uploading this vid. Sensei Kuroda is just awesome, and I think it's actually really cool that he lets his student play the role of the tori rather than the uke. Shows a lot of humility on his part. Awesome.

[basilolo]

In this video his students are playing the role of the uke all the time :D

You may don't know, but in Kenjutsu, not like in Aikido or Judo, the one who 'wins' is uke.

Best wishes!

Well, in Aikido, it depends on the Shihan: in Saito's kata's, uke always loses because he is the agressor. In Saotome's kata's, tori loses in the first and the last one of most of his series. It teaches a valuable lesson: you never know who comes out victoriuos... might as well be the agressor.

Absolutely great.

The Jo part was a nice surprise.
