iai kuroda tetuzan sinbukai

[tandenkokyu]

何度みても、どうやってあの速さで抜いているのか判らない。

そして、抜刀の間のゆっくりとした所作も、見事なまでにコントロ­ールされている。

神業とはこのことなのでしょう。

私は現在、古武術とは違う武道を修行中です。教え子も５０名ほど­いますが、黒田先生の下で修業をつんでいる方をうらやましく思い­ます。

「駄目なものをいくら速くしても、だめだ」ｂｙ黒田泰治鉄心斎

黒田先生は速くしようと思って動いてるわけでなく

御祖父様の教えを稽古の中で昇華していたら速くなってしまったの­では

ないでしょうか。



[tandenkokyu]

そういえば、１０年ほど前に雑誌「秘伝」に黒田先生の連載があり­読んでいました。

その中で、黒田先生は「丸く丸く」とおっしゃっていました。

そして、自分には才能が無かったから、とにかく数稽古をやったよ­うな事が書いてあってように思います。

あの時、もっと真剣に読み込んでおけばよかったと、後悔していま­す。

[barbiann1111]

wow the speed of the draw!!

[jackchn]

I think this is from the VHS, "Shinbukan no Waza".

[iyomantess]

日本人として誇りに思います。

[maimoimei]

恐ろしいほどに凄い・・・洗練の一言ですな。

[meddlingmage23]

ok, i've been practicing iaido for about 12 years since I was 12 or 13 and I find this a lot slower than it has to be. Don't tell me this guy is the master... Actually, I feel bad for the people who are on this guy's nuts and think he is the shit, because it's really not that hard. Hell, most of you can do this yourself with a few months of practice. I mean HE IS LOOKING AT THE SCABBARD WHEN HE RESHEATHS for fuck's sake.

[Arenoth21]

@meddlingmage23 I dont know what Ryu you are practicing but you didnt comprehend basics of Iai. This guy is amaizing, just look how focused he is ! And how easy he goes from total relax into full battle mode.

Every idiot can swing with sword but only few can do it right. About Scabbard, well I dont know this Ryu but it is possible that they are allowed to do this.

[meddlingmage23]

@Arenoth21 dear sir or madam; I don't understand the basics of iai?! Are you fucking kidding me?! I did this for over half my life, how long have you done this for? I know what I'm talking about. Yes, he is focused, but anyone doing this has to be, especially with a live blade. Also, true iai strikes aren't sword blows anymore, they're closer to a whip strike than anything else.

[Arenoth21]

@meddlingmage23 Well I train Muso Shinden Ryu form 4-5 years now. Pretty fresh 2nd Dan, thank you. You said "Hell, most of you can do this yourself with a few months of practice." I would like to see that. It takes years to get on this level. I didn't ment to offend you. If you really do Iai for so many years then you have my admiration.

[meddlingmage23]

@Arenoth21 look, my bad. I didn't mean to put people down. I'm glad you can see that it isn't that easy, but i guess it's hard to be objective since I compared it to myself, and after doing these moves for like billions of times, it seems easy to me.

[FlankerCZ]

@meddlingmage23

Ando who said "You doing right" ? If you will do these moves, who teach you ? You talk about master.

You are better ? Show me any video, where you will do these absolutely clear, fast and RIGHT moves. After i can accept your words. You dont say your skill rank, master. This isnt only about move and strenght. U must have mental power. This is it, what you can see on this video. If you don see there, you are only amateur.

[meddlingmage23]

@FlankerCZ Unfortunately, I'm a rather broke ass person, so i don't have any video cameras or recording equipment, but every day I do iai strikes targeting pebbles the size of a tooth to work on my concentration and accuracy. If I can ever borrow recording equipment, you'll be the first person I show it to.

[robertmrivers]

You did this for ten years, in your teens? While I appreciate your time spent practicing, it means nothing. Ur trying to interpret something you don't understand. Your commentary on speed says volumes on your understanding of it. What rank did you make it to; what style. Who's your teacher. Been to Japan? I ask because you have to pass through the ranks in order to be shown the new material.As a teenager and below a certain rank, unfortunately, u do not even know what you are looking at

[meddlingmage23]

@robertmrivers actually, when I was 10. So, not even teens yet, though, I still think even 10 is kinda late. I haven't been to Japan, but I can do this guy's "form" after watching it once. Without money to attend this stuff, I was self taught, and I learned fast since I started with a live blade and mistakes hurt. I'm not gonna bother arguing since i have no way of showing what I can do. By the way, I am 24, so yeah, i do know what I'm looking at, and he IS doing it unnecessarily slow

[robertmrivers]

@meddlingmage23 So, you don't know what you're looking at. You can imitate what he's doing, but, he is not doing what you think he is doing. The speed is relative to what the attacker is doing. It is not about being fast...with better being "more faster". You need to know what the attacker is doing to appreciate what he is doing. Until you get to a senior level where you are actually shown the application, you'll always be in the dark. I agree, anyone can "do the moves" faster. But thats not it

[robertmrivers]

@robertmrivers Just realized... he did a couple kata at a slow speed to show the detail...this is not the normal pace of the kata. The rest were at speed. Also, he does not look at his saya during noto once... don't know where you are picking that up. His eyes follow (a concept called metsuke) the attacker before, during, and after the cut...again, a principle you are oblivious to because you are only concerned with the speed and trying to "imitate" iaido. Good luck.

[meddlingmage23]

@robertmrivers imitate? i already told you, he's not doing anything hard. I practice my own style, i developed on my own, but i only got into that once i could already do this crap that you're thinking is mad good. As I said, if I could record some of what i can do, it would open up your mind a little.

[robertmrivers]

@meddlingmage23 I'll video you. Where are you. If you are willing to put your sword where your mouth is I'll take care of it, I'll fly out anywhere you are. If you deny this offer, then we can do without your commentary. You can pm me or email. All of my information is on my youtube page. I look forward to meeting you.

[meddlingmage23]

@robertmrivers Of course. I would never pass up something like this.

[talkfan]

@meddlingmage23: of course it's YOUTUBE. Anyone can say they can do anything. You have never met Kuroda, never FELT what he is doing, and have no idea what principles he is using to move the way he moves yet you and your SELF TAUGHT B.S think you can do it with no problem. You should consider a career in comedy and return to your cave. I consider your comments about a person you clearly have not met and style you have never experience laughable at best.

[meddlingmage23]

@talkfan Yeah, my "self-taught BS" can let me cut through stuff with a dull sword. And I have felt what he is doing because i can do his form myself. At least that robertmrivers guy is an instructor. What do you know about this? Your name suits you well: full of talk. I'm still waiting for the other guy that said he'd fly to where I am to see what I can do, but then again, i bet he didn't expect that I would agree to him filming my stuff.

[talkfan]

@meddlingmage23: Im full of talk? I'm not the one babbling about how easy this is to do. Waiting for your youtube iai video.

[meddlingmage23]

@talkfan Yeah. Whenever I can get a hold of someone with a camera. Or if that robertmrivers dude decides to hit me back on that. You gotta understand, I don't have money for that kind of stuff. I barely have enough money to get my new sword.

[robertmrivers]

@meddlingmage23 Been waiting for a PM or email of where you are. I am sure you don't want to broadcast it.

[meddlingmage23]

@robertmrivers i messaged you on your youtube page. I'll send you an email. I should be getting my new sword in about a week.

[shengxlong]

@meddlingmage23 I think robertmrivers is trying to meet up with you in your channel.

[meddlingmage23]

@shengxlong nah, that one message was from a while ago. I tried contacting him by e-mail and his channel, but got nothing. I think he was just saying that to see if I actually practice this and when I said "yeah, come see my skills" he kinda just stopped talking.

[robertmrivers]

@meddlingmage23 In time my friend, I just haven't had time to get up there. I'll get a chance to see your skills soon enough. Cheers.

[shengxlong]

@meddlingmage23 Mate, I've been kind of tracking about you and robertmrivers and he's actually real deal (I actually practice Hung Ga from Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, but as Martial Artist we all share the same Warrior's Path), and a martial artist must never let the chance to improve his self knowledge, or he will show a really bad weakness which is being presumptuous of his skills, I say meet up with him, and share the budo knowledge with a bottle of sake haha.

[meddlingmage23]

@shengxlong yeah, i've seen his website, but still, none of you have actually seen what I can do; although most of what I've been practicing (i've been practicing for 15 years) is my Iai strike, which is done in about 0.3 sec.

[Sarva07]

@meddlingmage23 ...so i'm curious to watch your performance!...but remember that when you do a iaido kata you have to be more correct and precise than being fast...in a real fight Kuroda would be surely faster than this. anyway, good for you if you practice good iaido!

[robertmrivers]

@shengxlong Its only been a month... I just haven't had time to get up there. I am excited to see his skills.

[makimaro]

二回目まったく見えないんだが・・・・

斬られてみたい

[distinct36]

this man is physical lighting. a cloud one moment, a force of nature the next.

[distinct36]

this man is physical lightning. one moment he is as peaceful and balanced as a cloud and, in an instant, can strike with force of a god.

[ningalex]

I wonder how many people in the world still practice iaido?

[LotusDragon09]

Im grateful for even having found videos of him. If he ever offered me to become his apprentice, id probably pass out. No harm in dreams, eh? The fluidity and speed of this guy's movements is superb.

[ShoryukenThatHadoken]

anybody find it wrong if I go ahead and label Tetsuzan a modern kensei?

Not like there's any way to contest that in the modern age, but he's inhuman, sorry.

[Delmo67]

The Japanese Government basically labels him as that, so i see no fault in your doing it too. I completely agree, the man is other-worldly.

[radry100]

he sits strange, what school is that?

[liamemac]

his seated kamae is called suwari gata, it was a seated posture for samauri bodyguards that allowed both forward and backward movement and prevented them falling asleep

[dewayne408]

What's his actual name?

[MysteryManoLove]

Kuroda Tetsuzan (黒田鉄山)

[101ryodan]

黒田先生若いっすね

[54spiritedwill54]

This guy has reached percfection in his art

its simply beautiful

[AphelionDustwake]

I don't understand it.

I mean i respect it.

But i don't understand the kata if it is one.

Can someone explain it to me?

[skykid]

@AphelionDustwake It's not "a kata" it's a whole field of kenjutsu that most styles have adapted at some point. It's the art of drawing and cutting in the same motion, to put it simply. Obviously there are very simple and dynamic ways of doing it, but the forms have varied almost infinitely as kenjutsu became more about ceremony and cultivation over the centuries.

[skykid]

The practical application is about starting with a katana in its saya one moment, and a cute in the opponent the next, no telegraphy, no wasted motion. It has become an art in and of itself, and it isn't for those who just want to fight or cut. The balance of life and death is weighed in the silent, motionless seconds before and after the draw.

[iaido10]

Superb cut in the beginning. Beautiful.

[panchopimp4life]

fuck you darahluvu you don't know shit about Iai, it is a great art that takes serious dedication and a lifetime to hone.

[Hyoujinsama]

Fail.

[sunreaper2]

Why mark down he doesnt even deserve the attention lol

[MyNmae134679]

Word...........

[Diogofariapinto]

he´s amazing

[Namiwakiru]

No matter how many times i see him do these kata, its like watching the same clip over and over in different angles. His skill is uncanny.

[uchikata]

速さもそうですが、動きが多すぎて捉えられませんね。視覚の盲点­を突いてる感じがします。

[ehioa1]

動きに無駄がなく静動が一致している。意識は全体に均等に向けら­れ滑らかである。筋肉や技というものではなくむしろ、意識の綿密­さこそが日本武芸の本質である。

[kenshin715]

Nice!

[heppuringorilla]

What a beautiful and smooth form.

He is clearly a master of iai and aikido.

[talkfan]

actually he is not. He is a master of his family styles of Kenjutsu, IaiJutsu, Jujutsu, and Bojutsu. His name is Kuroda Tetsuzan Sensei and is a brilliant and phenomenal martial artist as well as a gentleman. He is amazing to say the least.

[Peekingduck]

One of the nicest and most talented teachers in Japan.

He is a man impressive on so many levels..

[nadang714]

Sooo smooth.. no hesitate.. and incredibly fast..

[simasimaohuro]

本当に早い！！達人ですね・・

解らない人には解らないかもしれませんね・・

[heiankyoalien]

早ぇぇぇ～。

私は剣道をかじったのでわかります。

剣道は一種のスポーツですが、居合は実戦的ですね。

それでいて美しい。

[coresense]

日本の埼玉県にある「振武館」の演武会の模様です。１９９０年代­初めの映像で、演武者は黒田鉄山、数世紀以前から家伝として伝わ­る「民弥流居合術」を披露しておられます。明治以後の武道ではな­い、真正の日本武術です。

[coresense]

このかたはれっきとした日本人、演武は真正の日本古武道です。

[HonGyakku]

.....beautiful....

[greengreen5017]

だれか説明お願いします

[thelineofmypeople]

not a racial slur. I am just tierd of seeing fake kung fu passed on as the real thing. like those fake shaolin monks who bend spears and perform circus tricks. This is a real martial art and there is real kung fu out there, lests save the real ones by exposing the fake ones. thats all

[thelineofmypeople]

awesome, I wonder if the fake ironshirt practitioners would bend this katana on their throats, hahaha. Expose the fake martial arts and the save the the real thing!

[JesusFuckingChrist84]

Save the real thing? Either you mean, leave the skilled techniques to the skilled, or you just made a racial slur.

[ahmed1985]

Which school is he from?

[jeffcrouch]

Shinbukan Kuroda Ryugi

[coresense]

He did not learn it at school.

His house conveys the martial arts for several centuries.

He takes a lesson since an infant.

[coriant]

yeah the way he puts back his sword is tradidtional but also its a way to make the swords edge not touch the inner wall on the sheeths his sword so he does not dull or hinder the edge in any way

[MadameHypnosesSlave]

Wow, and here I thought it just looked nice without thinking it had a purpose. Thanks for the imput. This is truly much more enjoyable than the circus stuff out there.

[ItsZippa]

the way he puts his sword back is tradition

[koshomaster]

Many thanks fot this post!

[z4nshin]

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand the endposition when he's putting the sword back. Is there a strategical advantage or something?

[Dainanashi]

maybe it's comfortable to him?

[YueFei10]

Don't know if this is the most inspiring thing i've ever seen im martial arts or the most demoralising.

[krackfist]

blindlingly fast

[Marksman74]

I've never seen this before. This is like a quick draw for Kendo. Awesome, Love it. Thank you for posting.

[cahutman]

This guy has reached percfection in his art

its simply beautiful

[jowyco]

I am ALWAYS in awe of Kuroda sensei and his absolutely pure and p-e-r-f-e-c-t technique. Tamiya ryu or not -- If Kuroda sensei practiced anything or any art at all, he motion would still be as beautiful and precise. I bet he could coach basketball, gymnastics or even kabuki with such graceful movements!

[jaybekko]

I like that!

Is this typical of the Ryu?

[Grete1106]

why did you care to watch until the end then?

[jowyco]

Oh wow! I'm very, very surprised to have heard that. I wouldn't imagine you just stumbled upon this video so then, if so, why watch it? Kuroda sensei is considered by many to be one of the best swordsman in the world. I'm truly curious why one would feel as the way you've described.

[Novum07]

¡Un gran maestro de la espada! Tiene una técnica preciosa.

[aikidophreak]

Wow! nice, Really nice video to watch.

Djresonance...If I find out where he teaches/studies you'll have to do a bit of kumitachi to get it ^__^

[djresonance]

just amazing. does anybody know where he teaches? (specifically)

[phiroppon164]

He teach Ohmiya Saitama city ,Japan.

His dojo's name is "sinbukan".

[koopava]

movements look kind of unnatural to me

[Samuraimatt423]

that is how it is supposed to look..this man is god like in skill and speed and technique!

[kempobrad]

that's an understatement

[flintstonecom]

Great! Thanks.

[JulioGrimal]

Excelente !!

[saferghanem]

big big big respect

[braisav]

Se parece a Chiquito de la calzada

[Trocom01]

Sort of reminds me of the old Western Gunslinger. Fast and elegant. Before you knew it, that gun(or blade)was up and out ready to rock and roll. Excellent swordsmanship.

[hjallgir]

Very impressive, especially the technique which starts at 2:01!!! Thats dead fast!

[aikidoka21]

it IS KOMAGAWA KAISHIN RYU NOT KOWAGAWA.

[Gunyo]

What Kuroda sensei is actually demonstrating here is Tamiya-ryu iaijutsu 民弥流居合術.

Kuroda sensei also teaches Komagawa Kaishin-ryu as well as Shishin Takuma-ryu jujutsu

[NamelessMkVII]

Tetsuzan Kuroda's style of Kenjutsu is called "Kawagawa Kaishin-Ryu" if I'm not wrong ... a magnificent art ... too bad it's still rare ...

[warhammer1]

Wow, I saw him on BBC's Mind Body & Kickass moves - Ultimate Swordsman, he's amazing!

[daigoro111]

if i can achieve 5% of Kuroda's body stability and balance i'll die a happy sword practitioner :-)

[EishinRyu]

wow i'm so embarrassed, sorry i dont know what i was thinking when i called it katori for an instant. i am looking the second waza and it has a lot of similarity with Takiotoshi from the tatehiza set. that is tatehiza he is sitting in don't you agree?

[kaifinn]

eishin ryu it is not katori shinto ryu, it is nami ryu

[Peekingduck]

Just to make it clear Kuroda sensei does not do Katori shinto ryu. Though his Iai is still very nice and very old. It's it's Tamiya ryu of Kuroda sensei's family tradition (the spelling is different from the other, more well know, Tamiya ryu). As for 'fenston's coment... And what little time I have spent with Kuroda sensei prover to me that he is a true gentle-man and very skilled. I enjoyed watching this Thanks

[TimothyGatewood]

fenston,

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[CodyComstock]

He truely has no Idea what he is talking about, the arts of the Kuroda family have been known to the public since the late 1800's, and were known for their prowess by rival samurai long before that. And what style is it that you practice fenston?

[SempaiKenshin]

te haria pedazos en un segundo maldito marica sin sentido de gusto ni habilidad de atre marcial

[kanshoto]

It's one of the arts that Kuroda Tetsuzan (who's the person in the video) inherited through his family line... most probably Tamiya ryu-iaijutsu. Just for the record Katori Shinto Ryu is completely different.

[EishinRyu]

Katori Shinto ryu, and I'm not sure which branch it is. Hope this helps!

[MuMuLi]

awsome

[EishinRyu]

WOW! that looks like Koryu to me. Can anyone identify it?

[efsq]

awesome
