  • ummm quick question the way u pulled your katana out wouldn't it dull the sword cause wen i was watching another vid it said to pull it out on the dull side u seem like ur pretty skilled so i was just confused

  • @SuperAwais12 Good question. Not too sure exactly what you mean but we practice drawing in ALL manner because, if you ever are in a real combat situation, you may be forced to draw it in an infinite number of ways (depending on what your opponent does and what objects in the environment might restrict your movement.)

  • shave man you look like you just came out the bush

  • @killermafia1234 too busy training

  • I don't get it.

    I wasn't aware that Itto Ryu was a battojutsu school. And why would an Itto Ryu dojo call itself a "Ninja Learning Network"?

  • this guy is so chill. plus his voice isn't annoying (ehem expert village)

  • Another reason for not having the hand up against the tsuba is that if the tsuba happens to take a strike by another blade, the energy from that strike will not transfer into your hand!

    Ninjas use whatever works. a bread n butter knife if its readily available.

  • @Cevirus93 ...let's say you ARE in a position to use this sword. ...gun... knife...whatever. ...the need to kill. Are you prepared for the legal ramifications? Why its best to stick to hands. As sure as you go showing off "skills" , someone's going to take that as a challenge.

  • @Cevirus93 ...and he who liveth by the sword, shall die by the sword. We will all die inevitably. With this said , know what you are stepping in to and be prepared. ...katana is not sai or nunchaku. You will much rather bust your face with nunchaku that even barely nick your throat with katana. Practice SLOWLY , as if it were tai chi, focusing on form and doing it properly. No sense in doing anything if not doing it right. Next...weigh the necessity of this knowledge...

  • @Cevirus93

    Most instructors focus solely on hand and feet , because they are your natural given "creators and destroyers". It is important to start out "knowing thyself " ; this is where the weird meditation comes in. It can be done anywhere in any position ...even lying in bed just thinking about stuff. So... just remove all thoughts. There's nothing but you , and an empty space. Now before you become a warrior , know that , violence begets violence...

  • @aguyngaw Ninjatou didn't exist during the ninja days. It was invented as a souvenir in (speculatively) the 1950's.

  • @TheFlair8 The origin of ninjas came mainly from the samurai. All samurai were right handed (Not a single one was left). It would be better if you practiced it the way it should be done (with the right). However, for defense purposes, sticking to what's already more natural for your body may help you learn a bit faster and make application a bit easier.
