One thing that stands out with his demonstration is the dramatic subtleties he's able to convey. You can almost visualize the opponent. The way Kataoka Sensei briefly pauses during some of the waza as if to say, "Okay, last chance." I will always come back to this as an example for my personal reflection and enhancement outside of the dojo.
Arigato. I have just started learning Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu, and this is a wonderful resource to help my personal practise in learning the strokes and steps. Of course, learning in the dojo with the sensei comes first! But practise in my own time will be helped by this. Cheers!
@@KF1 I'm not criticising anything nor am I going to teach. I'm not allowed to, because I'm only Shidan. But here are a few tips, if you are interested. 1) You don't grip the sword so far forward. Also you hold the sword like an egg, your right hand ring finger should cover the first Menuki, while the middle finger of you left hand covers the second one. 2) All movements should flow into each other. You start off slow and reach peak speed during the cut. (But don't rush anything, if you are a beginner. Better slow and correct than quick and wrong.) 3) During a "normal" Nôtô, the Kissaki is never points upwards. Don't push the Tsuba down sheathing the sword. Keep it level and let it slide into the Saya. 4) Use both hands drawing or sheathing the sword - meaning: Pull the saya straight back as you want the Kissaki to enter or exit the Koiguchi. Don't pull the Saya up like a gear knob (which was one of my favorite mistakes). x) It's not that anything is inherently wrong, the kata are all basically there, but Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu looks/feels different, if you watch a master from Japan. y) If you seriously want to learn, get a good teacher. If you want to watch a decent youtube video on MJER seiza kata, I guess this one is a little more accurate: th-cam.com/video/U2qhLOR0aKQ/w-d-xo.html
@@DarkShaman667 Thanks for sharing. I like all of these elements. Have only been practicing Iaido for a short while, though I have been cutting targets for 10 years. I understand much of Japanese sword practice is arbitrary and stylistic, though there is still lots to look for in terms of general good sword handling. I think people get a little lost in a style sometimes, though that's okay. I like elements from many schools. Thanks for the writeup, I will keep these in mind.
@@luilui243 In MJER you turn to the right before sitting in Migi and you turn to the left before sitting in Hidari - it is not where your opponent is...
Why do I feel like you would die with your methods?Eishin-ryū was taught to me as a child and I remember speed and accuracy were the key methods. While impressive, the end result is not. 30 years of practice and improvement over time has taught me not to rely on traditional methods. They are predicted and leave you vulnerable. Slow is great for a camera, fluid is realistic.

Magnificent. I am so happy to see this on TH-cam!
Thanks you! Muchas gracias por la demostración!
I recognize the ochiburi as Kendo Renmei Iaido. It was introduced after WW2.
Thank you for posting.

刀禮都做的很散慢，怎可能會有高深的劍術??
這動作是初學者… 才會有的… 十分意外啊!!

Really bad basics, did he really practice Muso Jikidan Eishi Ryu?
Your demo is much better ☺️
Jokes aside, what would you improve? I'm just learning and not sure what details to be aware of.

@@KF1 Gladly! Now that I am thinking about it, I started doing Iaido in 2012. Then there was a Covid break and now I am trying to get back into it.
@@DarkShaman667 I agree the timing is really awkward.
Migi is to The right
Hidari is to The left
I was wondering the same thing. Guess it was an editing error.
@@luilui243 In MJER you turn to the right before sitting in Migi and you turn to the left before sitting in Hidari - it is not where your opponent is...

Totally useless "martial art". This fancy sword drawing will not help you in a real combat. Learn Battojutsu.
You know most batto is based off of mjer, right?
sword art online is better
