@ValarMorgoth what do you mean? This is Iwata Kenichi Norikazu. He is more than a sensei. Just look at his eyes, they are so powerful. It is a great loss now that he has passed away, but he was generous in his teaching so many can follow in his path.
@ValarMorgoth Because he is my teacher. This is how i can say he is a sensei. How I can say he is 'more' than a sensei? He had a presence i have seen in few people. He gave so much to the art and yet remained humble. He spread his own learnings across the globe without selling out. And he was truly talented in what he did. Who is your teacher?
Very instructive video - thank you for posting it

@rottunpunk What do YOU mean ?
Who says that he is sensei or "more than sensei" ?
Based on what ?
Is praising someone a way for you to present yourself as being worthy or is it just a plain mental disorder ?

岩田憲一先生在60~70歲左右,應該是由劍道日本雜誌製作的錄影帶,招法粗略的來看蠻接近居合連盟的直傳招法。
此錄像的招法與岩田先生80~90歲以後無雙直傳招法有顯著的差異呦。
