@jobowtackmasterx very clearly, you have never held a Kobuse class Katana (or higher) before in your life. It is pretty heavy and to slash at that speed with that kind of steadiness is not easy at all. I guess you prefer Hollywood where they use plastic props...

I am practicing Iaido, and i find it very hard to move like this master! Katana is not light. You guys should show some respect to him!

@plantolive each kata is showed differently, it begins with the unsheathing of the sword and finishes when he ,,puts it away'' , so its not because he wants to be overly dramatic like western demonstrations, its the proper way to do a demonstration, if you actually saw any martial arts demonstration, besides ,,professional wrestling'' and gang fights, you would know that there's a big deal of theatrics that go with it

[plantolive]

Wait, a five-slicer at 7:58, well he really cut loose there.

[plantolive]

Looks like his favorite thing in life is majestically putting his sword away. Two slices, put sword away. Two slices, put sword away. In fact, If he just had a parade of people handing him sheathes and unsheathed swords perhaps he'd be content just dramatically putting all of those blades back in their sheathes.

If you are not moving like this guy... you need to practice... probably slow it down.  This is why Iaido is not so big in America. It takes patience - which is my main weakness as well.

@CXaliendude1CX i see

[CXaliendude1CX]

this guy appears to be moving extremely slowly. is that how its supposed to be like? i practice Iai-do at home pretty fast-paced, but i hope im doing it correctly...

[CXaliendude1CX]

@TheDarkmind33 iaido focuses more on the spirituality of the art. more zen-like i suppose. its also usually practiced alone.
