Actually, all Iaido waza start and end with the sword in the saya (scabbard). Because of this, they all also involve chuburi, movements designed to flick or wipe the blood/bits of flesh/etc. from the blade. While you would obviously want to clean the blade more thoroughly as soon as possible if not immediately, that is how the waza are taught.

Expertvillage suck again.. When will youtube finaly kick them off? They are just leeaching viewers with misleading titles and description.

Fuck you expertvillage. And now for your advertisers...

The "New Degree Adrenaline" is exactly like expertvillage; it suck. I will never buy this product because it is associate with this shit video. You made a awfull deal advertising on expervillage video!

Maybe if the advertisers run off they will stop uploading shit.

A lot of iaido techniques are like that. I dont know much about battojutsu, but its very similar to iaido. Keep in mind that realistically, blood is highly corrosive and sheathing your sword before you wipe the blade off with a cloth can be really bad for your sword. Flicking the blade wont get off all the blood, only some. Im not saying iaido and battojutsu arent realistic, they just dont incorporate cleaning the blade in their kata.

he waits to block it untill the guy has his arm fully extended. . . i'de like to see him actually try to stab him with the wood and see if he blocks THAT.

You couldn´t see the most important part: the feet!
