Katana Sword Practice

[MrMZaccone]

Nice redundancy with the phrase "katana sword" next you'll be posting video of a machine gun-gun. The term "katana" specifically denotes a sword, one of a particular type. To accompany it with the word sword is just ignorant.

This is very similar to what I trained in Aikido with tachi.

I was going to say the same thing.

@kendoka0girl that's because more than likely, it is what you practiced. it's aiki-ken.

Very cool video. But could you tell me what style/system is this taken from? Reminds me of Yoshin Ryu Iai but that could just be me

[Bigboss5]

@BlackRoninMartialArt this is actually the aiki-ken style used by aikido practitioners to help put the principles (like irimi, tenkan, the concept of an opponent's center, etc.) of aikido into a more traditional perspective. these katas help to practice distancing and timing and are meant to supplement the open-hand training. the sword styles that influenced aikido were yagyu-shinkage ryu but mostly kashima shinto ryu
