Is this from a video game?

Ironic? Or what ? 😂

We had one guy come to our traditional Iai Dojo. He wanted to learn the proper way to use a sword. He was taught flash and fancy movements but he realized that it was phony.

Thanks Sensai! I'm just seeing this for the first time

Hello sensei Alex

Hello sensei Alex, and hello sensei Jacob

too formal, u not going to be number 1

u have to be able to dodge bullets with it

problem is that's basically a gun

put up a pay pal link

Just terrible

After being exposed to Ono Ha Itto Ryu and Kukishin Battojutsu for 30 years, this looks like a krappy karate katana kata. No offense intended, but I have to call it like I see it.

That is my brother

Outstanding. Only thing I was a little negative on is the slamming of it back into the saya. Otherwise. Awesome.

Just,jumping around like a monkey. You could do the same think while wearing your jump suit and wielding a simple stick. Why choosing the katana and hakama ( which,by the way, is too long and you step on it) ? Because you want people to admire you and have appeal to the chicks. That's why! So, go home ,make you self a warm cup of milk (coffee is for mature grownups)and search for a serious iaido sensei IF you are willing to REALLY learn anything dissent.

😂😂😂😂

Is very different from the way that Jason David Frank teached it, I guess it have had modification over the years..

Thank you so much people need this a lot

Bro was doing mime hand things in the beginning

I want a recount, LOL!

I want the mani and pedi lol!!

😢😢😢

From a Iaido student of six years and having trained in Japan. Fun to look at but there are no Kiai ( shouting) in Iaido. You want to hear the sword swish. It is the sign of a proper quick-draw. The main error here that many beginners make is not pulling back the saya as you pull out the sword. It is a counter movement essential in the flow and balance of the sword strike. But hey, have fun and keep practicing.

Nice kicking drill for balance while chambering/chasing 😊

Powerful move

Thanks. You're a force to be dealt with!

Excellent Kata, its true to yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Alright

why did he always hit the tsuba against the saya while performing Noto? why is there a "neko ashi dashi" at the mid of the kata?, is he "twirling towards freedom" at the mid of the kata with open arms, why? is he doing shiko dashi from shoto kan or from shito ryu? why did he hit his hakama so hard before returning to seiza?. This video is kind of confusing because at some point it shows certain degree of technique and at some points it seems like "America-Do-Te", like some comments before is this serious? is this karate? is this taekwondo? is this kobudo? is this iaido? how should i see this video?

Crrrrrrriiiiiinge

can you make a clip to teach me how to earn slowly from basic to advanced slow each movement for me and everyone to learn along with? 

Lowlevel performance.

this guy needs proper training and stop watching TV. all i can say

No....no...no......NOOOOOOOOOOO

Sto now! Before you stab yourself. As an Iaijutsu practitioner and teacher, I can only bing myself to say how disappointed I am that a martial arts teacher is dishonouring a Japanese koryu bujutsu with such a display of utter rubbish!

I watched this video since I've today(March 26, 2022 at 9:30-about 1:30) went to tournament in American Open Karate. I had won 1st place against a separate school and as a prize I was given a katana. Since my school doesn't have katana's or swords's in the manuel I've clicked on this video to import one into it. So thank you for the(if I am correct) traditional shotakon kata.

Jajajajajaja....is ....Jajajajajaja

Very good training. Did you create that yourself. Or was it taught to you. I use the Katana with Shotokan Katas.

The comments here just show how toxic the martial art world is.

The reality is a sword and 7-inch battle use is just a tool nowadays. If one wants to use a sword or battle knife you are most certainly gonna get shot with a rifle or a pistol. A sword or battle knife can certainly kill and do damage but it's a weapon of surprise. In the surprising role, the sword and knife are secondary silent killers with firearms being primary.

Bullshitdo !!!😤 This is juggling, twirling !!!! Not any real Japanese Kata.

Although I'm a stickler to the traditional rules of Iaito and Buttodo this dance here is him having fun. There is some respectable precision to be honest and we should embrace creative fun side displays like this ti help keep the Katana arts alive. If you show a young kid a video of a Kata competition they will go too sleep...but show them this guy and they will be hyped.

Cute! Add some streamers and music and pretend this is for a silly music video. Everything from the name to the movements and the way you hold and use your “nijugama” screams “Untrained-westerner doing everything wrong and needs to train under under a qualified instructor.”

Cute. Add some streamers, music and background singers and you too can look you at as untrained and nonsensical with your “Kama”. Just a little facts for you though: no one rolls when holding sharpened weapons in the hands. No need to, and very dangerous as well. Two “kama” are referred to a Nijigama. (Niju-kama). If you want to thrust the tips into something, even though the design makes this entirely silly, you must hold the handle as close to the head as possible to get better control by decreasing the leveraging action created when thrusting forward. If you want to “sound” Japanese the form should be called _______ no nijugama sho. (Never shodan. A dead giveaway that some westerner named it. ) Fill in the black with the creators name or community. Don’t forget to to hold you Kama with a reverse grip to “block” a strong wooden weapon attack with the handle. Instead of trying to receive an attack with a jujiuke style posture with both tips crossed in front above your head. Never ever use Elongated stances from Sporting karate styles. These were developed for aesthetic purposes. In combat, on uneven terrain, such as a Kata should emulate, would never have the feed is filling fast the wizard of your shoulders Better yet.! Study under a qualified instructor for decades before making up silly dance routines.

Hi
