Takeda Ryu Kobilza Ha - Iaido

[arde91]

Hi, I practice Hoki Ryu school Iaido, but you are really good! Plus, you listen to good music! Keep doing well!

[arsenal9124]

laido sucks because at the street you don't have a katana

[Nathanroqs]

@arsenal9124 iaido improves your reflexes =P You'd be able to see a punch coming and counter it.

[DanTheShotokanKid]

cool, where did you get your sword?

[henhun]

Wow. very nicely done. 

[YajimaKenji]

Veeery nice demonstration. I see at some comments "In iaido you never fight a real opponent"..well.. the techniques are ment to be working at a real opponent, so why not try it out and practice against a real opponent from time to time? To me the techniques are very skillfully done and it always glads me to see skillfull swordfighters. Honor to those who follow the way of the bushido, the way of the warrior.

[searock1988]

hell ya...nice and cool as hell!

[shittyfuck]

nice park, where is it

[RappeYc]

ha i didn't even know they posted this vid :D these are my two sensei :p...

but...the Takeda ryu is spread all voer Europe, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, ...

[Nlrvana99]

Is takeda ryu all people say it is? I'm looking for an iaido school from the purest descendens any tips on were to look for it, I'm thinking of moving even if it's in Japan!?

[BigP103]

Nice work! I think that's the first time I've seen full speed two man kata like that!

[darkenlink]

lol date mij sense

[walgrei]

Very nice!! well done

[Kriegskind]

Amasing.

[lolomegadeth87]

very cool music.. what is the name of the track??

[fadinomata]

you can see that at the ending credits

[darwintheuninvolved]

Well Done!

[dlas8587]

nice iaido video and tamashigiri ,,, which koryo do you practice, its not setea lai, but nice

[LadyBushi01]

beautiful demonstration and sword !

[ninjastorm6]

very very good moves thanks

[maceioninjutsu]

badass, whats more important in a sword fight, the iaido or the kenjutsu?

[Maexxnus]

erm.... that question doesn't have a simple answer; the masteries of iaido and kenjutsu both have different and equally important weights in a real sword fight. In a sword fight, you need an accurate technique (physical side of the fight), provided mainly by kenjutsu, and a firm, stable and strong presence of spirit (zanshin - spiritual side of the fight), provided mainly by iaido, to defeat your opponent. That's just my view of it, anyway...

[maceioninjutsu]

to be great overall I think one should study all kenjutsu, iaido, iai-jutsu, and some what kendo but just with the helmet no armor.

[quarc]

both

[b3z12345]

i just started iai like a month ago and im just wondering do you kiai in iai?

[Maexxnus]

Nop, we don't use that kind of loud keiai in Iaido; we use a different, silent keiai. There is no point in making it loud, given that our opponent(s) are imaginary.

[Mcfladge]

Check out my vids guys 'samurai : tenshin ryu learn the way' 'samurai : tenshin ryu sensei mike selvey' and 'samurai : tenshin ryu budo'

let me know what you think in the comments section many thanks

[drumplumb]

practice makes perfect, but if you practice something wrong you will do it perfectly wrong. The guy with the gotee has got some bad habits & posture. Like the leaning forward on his kirioroshi, and craning his neck to the side when doing kesa & chiburi. Also on his kesa, he is going far beyond where one shoud stop the sword. It reminds me of that terrible movie "The Highlander" Keep practicing

[quitebitterpi]

oh ffs, you did NOT just go there. You did NOT just trash talk Highlander... oh wait you did, shame on you...

[koopava]

drumplumb, the answer is no

[koopava]

just because you might have learned something differently doesnt make this wrong. at all.

[Sumer61]

but once you learn that you can help but put it away the same every single time ....its so much easier you dont have to look after a while

[Sumer61]

take your hand and place it at the top of the sheath with the webbing of your forfinger and thumb as guidance and either slid it along horizantal to the sheath untill you can feel the end and then sheath it back in its saya or drop your sword down handle first with the webbing of your thumb as guidance yet again and gradually bring it up as you go farther down the swords tip then slid it in....there ar many ways to resheath...

[mthompson23]

Thank you soo much !! Cheers

[simondo84]

Hi, i am very pathetic with my sword, i was just wondering if anyone has any tips on putting the sword back into the case as when i am doing it i have to keep watching the sword to make sure its going into the case properly, any tips would be much apreciated as i could seriously do with some help, Thanks.

[s813noma1]

all you need is time and patient...

[JesusFuckingChrist84]

Hello.

There are videos of this here on youtube. The returning of the sword to the saya is called "Noto"

It takes much practice, I hurt myself a few times while trying to perform it for the first time, but I have it down now, you have to be totally dedicated, I had to perform noto about 100 times to get it totally down.

[Hanyko]

nada que ver la música

[safraan]

ola olen! greetings from hertals (ex hertals eigenlijk) anvers nu

[tiagotoyoda]

I think that this is very suspicious. If you are the one that invented it you should just say.

[Yiroooo]

Is that Takeda Nakamura Ha style?

[koopava]

it used to be nakamura ha until 2006, now its kobilza ha

[Yiroooo]

Seems like there are more and more different ryu now.

But still Nakamura-Ha remains the main branch?

[koopava]

i think kobilza ha is the most widespread branch of takeda ryu in europe now, but as far as i know they stil refer to nakamura-ha.

[Yiroooo]

And what do you think of Maroto Ha?

[koopava]

well, i heard and read a few different stories about the seperation of maroto ha from the main ryu but i still know too less to judge about it, all i can say is that the techniques which are presented by them here on youtube look quite different from what i've learned in nakamura ha and kobilza ha for 4 years now.

[tiagotoyoda]

Who founded this school? When it was founded?

[jansege]

You can find more info about our history on w w w () takedaryu () com

I hope this is enough information.

[kenninast]

@tiagotoyoda

First part, end of 19th century, finished mid 20th century.

You'd not say it, but it's gendai.

[Daladria]

Very good control, while not a demonstration of kata (don't think you were trying to show form) it was entertaining and a well compiled video.

I gave it five stars! Thank you for posting it!

[tekinsane]

a true japanese would kill all of you

[noisysamurai]

Are you a true japanese?

[tekinsane]

watch?v=v9HR7TTOReE as for what i said, it wasnt meant to be taken seriously. the answer to your question, no. im half european and half japanese. im from hawaii, but i have family in okinawa japan

[AZURA888]

I am surprised the boy has an exceptional control of the katana. Knowing the difficult thing that is to introduce the sword into the saya without to cut yourself or to puncture and this man makes it so quick. I have a katana and if I try to introduce it in the saya without seeing I puncture myself. He should have practiced a lot. Of course it is iaido, Not like those demonstrations of twirls where they use light swords that move just as crazy.

[Vlann94]

Ahh, cool! I'm proud to say that I'm in this club too. But, ofcorse, I can't do that! Not yet, let's say! :) Greetz, anne.

PS = Who's the mysterious man 'timbolee' ? :)

[timbolee]

I guess that would be me. Late reaction, got on this vid again and saw my reaction and yours ;) And did you get into this club after 3 months?

[Vlann94]

I was already in this club when I wrote this ! :)

[marek7207]

it's not iaido. in iaido you never fight a real opponent.

[jansege]

It is our way of Iaido / Iaijutsu as we learn in the Takeda school. I agree with you that most of the time the budoka trains Iaido without a partner. Like you have some exercises at the end of the clip. In our school it does not stop there. To get a better understanding of certain strategy's we also have the possibility to train and learn with a partner. So for us it is just another step in the development of our students.

[jansege]

Dear marek7207

It is clear you have a certain vision of Iaido. But to say "this is not Iaido", is to say the world is still flat... Maybe it is not like any schools you know or you have seen.

[meateatingmonk]

this is pretty awesome!

[leogan]

isnt takeda ryu an aikijujitsu school?

[jansege]

Aikijutsu is one of the disciplines which is thought in the Takeda school. There is also Aikido/Aikijutsu  , Jodo/Jojutsu , Iaido/Iaijutsu , Jukempo/kempojujitsu , kendo/kenjutsu and others...

[timbolee]

I'm in this Ryu, the sensei on the video is the belgian Tom-sensei.

[Konotani]

First time i see this Ryu. Its quite interesting. Looks like a Mix of Eishin and Muso Shinden Ryu. It has the Classic-ness of the Muso Shinden Ryu School but a modern touch of the Eishin Ryu school.

[ronin2167]

Are you refering to Muso Jikiden Eshin Ryu? If so, MJER is hardly modern. It's 400 years old. I liked the video alot..nice control but seems a bit flashy.

[Konotani]

what Ryu is this? Eshin?

[jansege]

This is Takeda Ryu.
