AMA Fest 2008 - Austin Komei Jyuku Iaijutsu

[seant8]

I haven't watched this in a while, I really need to do something about my posture.

[chidokan]

hahaha!! very good! I thought as much!

[chidokan]

interesting, not thought about doing hayanuki etc standing up, but no reason not to. I usually also do tsume ai no kurai kneeling... any reason for standing up? Maybe to let the audience see better? just curious...

[austinkomeijyuku]

We choose tachi waza over tatehiza for two main reasons:

1) even though the stage was off the ground, it was a big open space and we wanted everyone to be able to see

2) one of our guys has a bad knee

Wow chuden hayanuki in standing version instead of in tate hiza. Nice move & so fluid, even with such a long shinken.

The Tsume Iai kumitachi in also wonderful. Thanks for the video & Texas Komei Jyuku !
