Nihon Heiho Toyama Ryu Battoujutsu Demonstration

Battojutsu/Battodo Demo from Kyushu I think. Soga Yoshiharu Sensei, 8th Dan, Toyama Ryu, Soga Ryu
He says it's battojutsu. I'll trust him over you.
1. Toyama Ryu is battojutsu/battodo.
2. There are applications and demonstrations of Toyama Ryu kata in this video.

The quality is low since it's a tape to DVD to PC to Youtube conversion.

@loctos123 Thanks for the two comments. However you only got one of them right. Thanks!

[Runermanyoyo]

nice video.

The thing is, its not battoujutsu

Battoujutsu strikes are normally not from above, they usually come implemented in the unsheathing move, so that the unsheathing and slashing come in the same movement.

thanks for the comments. i'll be sure to let my sensei know (the one in the video).

[Runermanyoyo]

... well, check out the Ogawa Ryu Battoujutsu video if u dotn believe me.

BTW , my sensei is in the Ogawa ryu video ;)

[curlywolf]

oh no, i believe you. there's no need for me to go check out something as solid as Ogawa Ryu. thanks again!

He has amazing skills. Im proud to be a Soga like him. But instead, i live in Brazil.. How old is this video?

[loctos123]

@curlywolf which one?

@theaznkid92 If you're going to advise him not to judge based on anime, do be sure not to judge him in return as he mentioned nothing about anime.

[theaznkid92]

@doggyfishman incorrect, battoujutsu and iaido both involve unsheathing, but the first cut that you describe is rarely the finishing attack. generally, that strike is to either stun or knock back the opponent, who is then to be finished by a strike, typically the jodan or migi-kesa. please get your facts straight before judging others based on anime.

[doggyfishman]

battojutsu is when the sword is unseathed and then an attack in the same movement. still good vid

@Iaazathoth

I always get nervous when someone comments on the history of another persons art. Especially when they say there's no such thing... proving a neg is very difficult, if not impossible.

I know of and believe the legitimacy of Toyama Ryu, so it's not even about a competition between styles. Just a comment on the respect due differing styles. Ogawa Ryu presents its history in vids available on YouTube, so who do we believe? YOU as a critic, or them, when they offer their history?

Hitten Mitsurugi ryu ain't so bad. Kenshin could destroy everybody ^^ No ! His Master would.
