These are just a few of the kata highlights from my battojutsu demo on November 9, 2007. At the end there are a couple tameshigiri cuts. Enjoy:-)

  • You must have a lot of upper body strenght to get that katana to sing like that. I could never get my katana to move so fast that the feedback is that audible, I am able to produce sound but not of that much volumn.

  • It has little to do with strength. It actually has more to do with the "blood groove" that runs the length of the blade.  It catches air and produces sound. My other katana that does not have the blood groove makes no significant audible sound either.

  • it's also the concept that those are very light katana. or so i'm assuming.

  • Certainly, the lighter the katana, the easier it is to move fast.

  • What style of iaijutsu is this?

  • Enshin Itto Ryu Battojutsu. Machida Kenshinsai is the Soke.

  • Your style is very enjoyable to watch. The rhythm and flow of movement is very combat oriented. I disagree with those critical of your technique, given that it is being analyzed by those who are unfamiliar with it; we have to assume that it is consistent with what you have been taught and is therefore a part of your technique.

  • beautiful dojo

  • What ryu is this?

  • Do you have any concept of sayabiki ?

  • How much does it cost to be a part of one of those kinds of schools? I'd love to do it, I just keep thinking that it's an unrealistic wish.

  • actually yes i go to one for both aikido and toyama ryu battojutsu

    Shindai Aikikai Aikido Dojo

    1940 Brengle Ave. Orlando, FL 32808

  • would an HRC1060 be good for a sword or would 1055 be better?

  • if you find any in Orlando area let me know! I go to an incredible Aikido dojo there, but would love to find one for Battojutsu

  • Speed is not the most important thing when fighting with a weapon.

  • I don't know but it is worth noting that this isn't iaido. Iaido is generally focused on the formalism and ritualism of drawing the sword and less on being able to kill by drawing the sword.

  • This video has been inspiring me for months, the noto is emacculate & the multi strike katas...I want to see what's new, & maybe nukitsuke w/ multiple cuts on tatame...Batto(jutsu/do) 4 Life!

  • omg... they make the swords swish in the air.... those things are heavy....
