No wonder this guy is one of Japan's "national treasures". I bow before anyone with such a passion for one's job...

I was practicing Aikido for some 10 years and this looks the same though it has a different name that I didn't really catch when she said it.

bokendo are awsome

[ihaterobbie123]

0:20, that's a bullshit technique, look how the guy draws...

[peanutking242]

@ihaterobbie123 i think the defender was suppose to go forward and side step in full stance

[ihaterobbie123]

@peanutking242

ME: "LOOK HOW THE GUY DRAWS"

YOU: "I think the defender..."

Not only is it obvious you don't know anything about training drills using terms like "defender" and "full stance" but you actually managed to completely ignore the content of my comment, it had fuck all to do with the "defender".

I'll give you a hint, drawing over your head in a full arc at someone half a foot away from you is STUPID.

Aikido is full of so much shit.

[peanutking242]

@ihaterobbie123 maybe u also forgotten the fact that the sword is wooden and about 1/2 the length of a full size sword... maybe i gave u the wrong idea in my previous comment... what i was trying to say is that this is a scaled down exercise with them half squarting (or whatever u call them)... as for the height of draw... it was suppose to scare the enemy and cut through armour and bone

[ihaterobbie123]

@peanutking242 It's practicing techniques you would use if unarmed and attacked during a tea ceremony (no armour) and it's impossible to cut through armour anyway. Cutting through bone is almost impossible with one arm and completely impossible when the arm's holding a shoto.

The swords aren't "1/2 length" for the sake of demonstration, it's shoto length (the sword samurai carry all the time, inside and outside).

You actually have no idea what you're talking about or what I'm saying.

[lordtains]

their re-sheating of the sword is quite interesting. they hold the sword with their left hand? abunai desu ne

[Gunyo]

The noto technique is a very old version used for tachi. You're not holding the blade, only the mine with the knuckles of the finger and thumb. If you know what you are doing, it is not dangerous at all.

*mune

[Gunyo]

The pronunciation is interchangable depending on who you talk to; Some say mune others say mine.

[silencethesilenced]

yes, it doesn't look very dangerous since the tip (kissaki?) of the sword is nowhere near the fingers. however, in some iaido kata videos i have seen, the tip seems to come dangerously close to the fingers. surely even a slight misjudgment can result in injury when using a sharpened blade. i always wonder how they sheath the katana without looking.

[Hyoujinsama]

A lot of practice. It is not nearly as hard as it seems, so long as one has been doing it for a while. Noto and GOOD noto are two different things, though. This is a very interesting version. I like it very much.

[Shnaarf]

v good.
