居合道３段 - Iaido 3dan shinsa

November 2000 - part of my 3dan test in Hamamatsu, Japan. Takashi Ikeda (unfortunately not in video, yet still current head of Musou Jikiden Eishin-ryu - 22nd master under Hayashizaki Jinsuke) was judging. I did Maegiri, Zengogiri, Yaenaki, Tsukekomi, Nukiuchi. Test was all day including written - in Japanese ugh! This is the final portion. 無双直伝英信流居合道３段審査、浜松、日本。

Very nice shinsa and thanks for posting. Did you do Iaido before moving to Japan? Thanks again, Joshua

Hi thanks for the comment. No I didn't train in iai until moving to Japan. I'd trained karate and a little kobudo for about 8 years before coming here, so was excited with the chance to train in Japan and just ended up being taken to an iaido dojo by chance. I still train other stuff as my schedule permits but iaido is the one I've stayed consistent with. Thanks again for watching.

Hi Casey-san

Well done to you! Very nice polite embu. It must have been nervewracking! And you did your written test in Japanese? Fantastic!

Keep up the good work!

Regards

What are the levels in Iaido? Is it unranked until you reach a certain degree of control, then you can take your first dan?

Also, I know you begin with a wooden sword, when are you eligible to practice with the real thing? I think the Katana a beautiful work of art. Beautiful yet deadly in the right hands

Glad to have found your Video. Excellent demonstration of tech.

[dakoata121212]

Sir, please, where did you get your katana? I have seen only a few like it, It seems very light and the blade seems thin. I am very interested if you have any information of it.

How can they award "high rank" 3 time for such plain performence. It is a okay demonstration, but no where near the amazing stuff masters do. There is pleny of that on youtube alone. I am not saying that you suck or anything like that, i was just expecting jaw dropping awesomness for 3rd dan.

[chocoloco987]

nice iaito! :-)

[lmhlmh7182]

i used to be trained for laidojutsu for 3 years...so familiar to me...cry....

[sazen9]

Question how does one receive ranking in systems like this. In koryu and traditonal times there was usually three rankings beginner, intermediat, and master or higher level.

No offense ment just curious
