  • Not good knot for carry katana this is good to fight in aikido, judo or similar for katana obi is a different kind and different kind of knot

  • Your thought is an opinion. It is not written in stone and neither is what I have shown. I'm certain there are multiple ways. I just showed one of them. If you are happy with your way, good for you.

  • Forgot one thing. I found a site that says you tie the middle of the Sageo to the Saya so the cord lays in halves. Is this correct?

  • The cord is threaded through the kurigata and then tied in a kind of slip knot which is just about at the center of the sageo. So the information you found is referring to attaching the sageo to the saya, and that is correct for what I learned. I didn't cover that attachment in the videos.

  • WOW!! Very informative and practical. I like the quick release knot method, if an emergency happens or if you need to use the Saya or Sageo as a weapon. Question. I am a Nikyu in Ninjutsu and I am beginning to learn Kenjutsu. I am interested in learning the formalities and courtesies as I believe sword training is very strongly attached to our heart. Can you direct me to any legit Japanese tradition sites to get this information??

  • I'm glad this is helpful to you.

    There is a great book detailing the Eishin-ryu Iaido style by Nicholas Suino. He is 6th Dan in Michigan, I think Ann Arbor. You can find him on the internet. His books include meticulous details on customs and history and techniques.

    I have been teaching myself more from his mid 1990's book for 10 years now. I rely on my initial instructions from Japanese Iaido masters and have expanded using his book. He might be pleased to see how worn it is.

  • In jiu-jitsu we tie the belt very differently.

  • in my karate club we do not cross the belt in the back either, but they did in my old judo club

  • Just to clarify, as a TKD practitioner, there IS a variation of tying the belt in TKD where there is no crossing in the back, and involves circling the belt around the body twice before tying the square knot. Just thought I'd add this to let you know.

  • Nice, thanks for posting.
