Iaido - Masa Sensei

[streetbiker8]

Tameshigiri is disrespectful. They only used it when the blade was first made to test it. But other then that it's showing you do not have confidence in one's ability's. And no Tameshigiri is not part of Iaido. It can be used in it. But it is not part of the practice itself.

[nachtzeit]

@coolL9457 it is - look up battodo in London. one of many iaido schools in the big smoke

[george385]

@coolL9457 Plenty of Iaido schools in London - I'm involved with several of them. They are mainly influenced by Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu (the style I practice) and Muso Shinden Ryu styles.

Tameshigiri is the physical representation of Iaido training. Its the same cuts, but cutting a physical object tells you if your preforming the cuts correctly. Not all schools of Iaido include it, but many do.

[nwharerau]

isnt tameshigiri a technique?

[Erkynar]

The way I understand things, Tameshigiri is different techniques but training is directed to cutting actual things (straw mats, for e.g.) rather than sparring with shinai or cuttting the air in kata-forms. Though I am far from an expert.

[Lolismad]

a little faster and i would be impressed ;)

[HatakeKakashi1986]

Buuu, the 3th cut failed xD
