- Kanzaki Masaru Sensei and his students demonstrating Shojitsu Kenrikata Ichi-ryu Katchu Batto-jutsu during the 42nd Nihon Kobudo Embutaikai held at the Nippon Budokan on February 3rd, 2019. The event also commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Nihon Kobudo Kyokai.
Shingyoto-ryu iwas founded in 1682 by Iba Hideaki on the basis of the Hon Shinto-ryu school. The name refers to the relationship between the heart or spirit (shin), the form (gyo) and the sword (to). It teaches kenjutsu, with techniques of long (odachi), short (kodachi), two sabers (nitto) as well as techniques of iaijutsu, battōjutsu and naginata (halberd).

Context:
Battojutsu is a Sword-style that focuses on unsheathing attacks with sharp Katana. Usually the movement only lasts up to 3 strikes after which you resheathe.
You may have heard of the similar Iaijutsu, the main difference being that Iai practitioners train with a blunt sword.
The demonstration is from a particular school of Battojutsu called 'shojitsu kenrikata ichi ryu' (ryu usually referring to school, style). Each school or style is different in focus and teaches forms differently. A particular school can have several actual schools teaching it though.
The style of armour they wear is called dō-maru (I think, can't quite tell which exactly it is from this distance) and is a traditional japanese armour in use between the 11th and 18th century. It is designed around infantry combat and the relatively low metal content make it lighter and easier to move in than other armours in use at the time. It's also cheaper.
The demonstration they make is phantom combat which is a training style that uses an imaginary opponent rather than a real one. The vast majority of Iai and Batto training is phantom combat. Especially in the case of Batto for obvious reasons.
At the same time, phantom combat allows you to focus on yourself and helps you understand the complexity of each movement. Honestly, after a while, it becomes a sort of meditative exercise.
Each set of movement they perform is a set routine called a form or 'kata' and katas will usually be learned in succession to form a complete set.
If you see something like '42-style this or that' that usually refers to the amount of katas in this set. Each school can have multiple sets with different complexities though.
Every kata here is aimed at killing an opponent which is why you see them stabbing into the ground to finish the opponent of each time before re-sheathing. Most styles don't make the killing aspect quite as obvious these days though.
The jumping on one foot is to concentrate the force of the attack into one point. Don't ask me if it actually works, I'm not a practitioner.
That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to ask if you're unclear about something or to add on to this/correct me.
I'm not an expert though so take all of this with a grain of salt.
Awesome thank you!
I think they are using a Tachi, a sword predecessor of Katana, which is more curved, hanged down ward and mostly used on horseback
It looks like a a form of meditation. It actually looks beautiful to me
Thank you dor the explanation!
@@edfrederick3630kata means sword

It must have felt very exciting for the sensei and his students. Just imagine wearing those armors and real katanas and being seen by your families and friends. All those years of training must have really paid off.

@@thomaswagenman8333 I was just gonna say that same thing.
Funny though, every drawing/photo of a samurai wearing an armor (after I started to pay attention how the sword was worn) the blade is worn the cutting edge down. So didn't they use katanas at all with armor?

Right?!
Lol

True spirit. Just a lil bigher and a whole lot deadlier
THAT IS SO TRUEEEE!!!!!!!!
Brutal fact I learned while researching about the sword fighting styles such as this one:
Samurais back in the old days used to use real people, criminals, to practice their techniques, but it got to brutal for them that they changed to the dried up roll tatami mats since mimics how a samurai cuts through a human arm but less bloody.
no kiddin' really! Everyone knows that!
@@weekendpartier i didnt?
@@weekendpartier cant expect everybody to be weebs to have knowledge bout that now do we?
Weren't they using corpses, though, instead of alive people?

im legit more afraid of them when they sit down than i am most people

@@1duskyknight
I HIGHLY doubt it
When you look at traditional Japanese fighting styles and compare it with the armor, its really impressive the range of movement they could have in it. It worked perfectly for how they’d fight
Bippity boppity your soul is now my property
Speed and power......hmm deadly....
@@bestdadoftheyear7181 hmmm yes indeed... hmmm
The armors are works of art! But it is the same with medieval western armor, much more comfortable and flexible than people think.

Imagine one of them uses the ghost stance, and then all you see is everyone paralyzed in fear and terror
Yet they still run towards you before they become paralyzed, to make sure you don't have to go look for them.

@Dexter Reddington Magnum Esq. But.... Does it work on the streets?
Assuming you have your blade... you'll ve fine on the streets
Alexandria Armstrong your the type to ask this question.
Let me explain: The students go through the various kata of drawing and striking an opponent, then sheathing their sword. The difference between batto-jutsu and the more commonly known Iai-jutsu is that batto-jutsu focuses on cutting and uses a sharp sword, while Iai focuses on the repetition of form, more like a set of moves that one goes through and uses a blunted blade that does not cut.
The reason why the forms seem slightly off in this video is because this is performed by youths (save the teacher on the right) who are relatively new to the katas. Hope it clears up some questions some might have.
its amazing how they can resist making sword noises with their mouth while swinging
0:45 Not the show I’d want my cellphone to go off at. Lol
Those samurai found the person who let his phone go off.
He was never heard from again. Disrespect towards samurai will not be tolerated.

I don't really understand what's happening but I do love and respect this demonstrations. I admire the culture.
everything is alright. you can sleep well now
@@laksanaadi5048 alright goodnight
The armor are incredibly beautiful
One of the few ryuha that still does demonstrations in full yoroi (armour). Most of these kata/techniques seem less-than-entertaining because we're not seeing the context. For instance, one particular kata focuses on apprehending/subduing/killing a fugitive in the dark. It's really difficult to convey the intensity of that scenario and those like it in a giant, lit-up training hall.
That said, their techniques are unique and inventive, and while this is not the very best demo I've seen of the ryuha, I remain a fan.
Thank you, that really explains a lot. In that context, a lot of it makes sense now. If you wouldn’t mind, perhaps can you tell me a bit more about the style of combat that were used and practiced? Some that continue to be practiced even today?
@@saracrysis2851sorry for the very late reply.
Yes, there are modern Kenjutsu/Iaijutsu/Battojutsu still in existence.
This one is unique; you're not going to find an obscure ryuha like this taught anywhere outside of Japan.
MJER and MSR are two of the most popular for iai, and can be learned outside Japan.
The oldest extant school of Japanese Martial Arts is "Tenshinshoden Katori Shinto-ryu". It's coming up on 900 - 1,000 years of unbroken lineage.
Mindset before clicking: Ah yes! Three way Samurai duel till the last mannnnn!!!
Mindset afterwards: The way of the Samurai…it’s a haiku in of itself…a tale to be told through mind and body through art…expressing duty, skill, mastery, and honor.
*GONGGGGGG*
Those little hop-swings are frighteningly quick and precise
I love the Tachi. It’s the most beautiful sword ever made.
Some people who gave this a thumbs down are confusing NINJAs and Samurais. They expect these samurai to jump around and throw stars and perform quick moves.
I must thank my fiancee, who is japanese, for recommending me this channel and watch this documentary!
斬撃の後に必ずトドメの突きを入れてる所を見ると正に戦場剣術なんだなと思わされました
ところで、何故今オススメに出てきたんだろ…
Beautifully done.
7:34 - Thank me later
I will, later...
THANKS
lol for real! never thought swords could be boring. . . i was wrong.
Oh yeah! That’s what I was looking for.
Thanks g
思わず拍手しました。真剣での立ち合い素晴らしい技と鍛錬です。

全然派手じゃなくて地味だけどなんかかっこいいね
Badass...Japan old tradition are certainly one of the best in the world!
4:15 that’s death in combat
@@kuhaku9587 no I think he means raising his guard to high allowing an enemy to just plunge a sword into your chest
@@butterb7925 This draw was to block an attack from above, such as a polearm, axe or sword slash.
Also, like I just said.. he wouldn't be hit by a sword, he would be hit by a spear or polearm.
You cant block against a polearm strike directly with a sword with ONE HAND. No matter how strong your one arm is a sword has no way near the mass of a polearm. Your only chance is to knock it aside and move in to end him rightly.
Taking their sweet time.....it like waiting for season 4 climax
Good to see there’s a little Japan left. Japan, hold on to your greatness. The world will need you.
As soon as the blade is off, there is blood already ! Just the first move ! Amazing !
勉強不足なので推測ですが
重い甲冑を着た前提での構え、振り方、足の運び方ですね。
なるべく体力を使わずに確実に殺すための型なのかなと思いました。
後世に美化されたサムライとは全く違うものを感じます。
他の方のコメントにありましたが
斬る時に右足を上げる動作は敵の動きを避けながら戦うということでしょうか？
切るとき片足上げてんのって体重を一点に集中させて切る力を上げるためかなと思ったんだけど、どうなんだろう。
個人的は 切り合いで 時代劇みたいに斬られたから
すぐ 敵が絶命することはまずないでしょうから、
倒れながらでも、反撃の一刀は返ってくるはずなので、
それを避ける足上げかも。
And now I am completely flaccid. Moving on.
Remember the material that the samurais are cutting has the same density as a human body and limb
If you look closely, one makes a bad cut !!
Or the reeds would be cut in a straight line.🙏
Phantastisch !!!!!
Thank you for this demonstration of Kamakura period armor and kenjutsu.
@Avocado Panda yes the one of the far left looks more edu to be honest
this may be nothing but I find it cool that their knee touches the ground at the same time the part they chopped off hits the ground
斬り下ろすときにしゃがんだり片足を上げたりしてるのを見ると、体重はもちろん甲冑の重さまでもを刀に乗せようとしてるのが分かる
すごい殺意を感じる動きをしてる
たぶん受けきれないよね
絶対に殺らないと生き残れないからね(絶句)
To be in such good shape, to move , to dance the dance... with such skill and power.....
I am a little confused about what’s going on. Like they did virtually nothing for nearly 10 mins.
Now I want to play sekiro again.
Love watching ancient practices
I like how they even practice letting the blood flow down the sword for a while before putting it back inside its shield. That's how sharp and smooth that weapon is. :p
it is called Chiburui
(血振るい) or Chiburi.
it is not called shield but a Scabbard or Saya (鞘).
Sharp like most swords in the world.
There’s a specific motion for getting blood off the blade.
that movement is called Chiburi. Though the chiburi doesnt actually work IRL. this move appeared during the Edo period (or period of peace) where the samurai didnt had to fight that much, so as a lot of warriors do, they became something like philosophical figures and that reflects on the simbolism in the different katas. i think the move is there to make the practitioner think for a moment of the damage they can cause (since the blade is now soiled with blood) as a way to reflect about your life as a warrior and the death that is ever present
I'm just repeating what everyone else said, but Japanese sword steel is generally way too porous to actually shake blood off. In this style, it looks like their chiburi is a pantomime for holding their sword while their servant wipes the blood off for them. A lot of samurai would bring a servant to carry their polearms or other supplies with them to battle.
Most Japanese swords aren't any more special than other Asian blades. The only thing about the katana or tachi that makes them special is the culture built around them.
Beautiful, years of hard work and dedication to the rich history of their country paid off. Although I don’t understand much of what I’m looking at, I know that each action is deliberate and for a purpose. Truly a reflection of each man’s dedication and discipline.
Also whosever cell phone went off at the beginning must have been extremely embarrassed hahah
Seppuku for sure. I guess there's plenty of swords on hand..
I like the Samurai warrior outfit during the Edo period it's awesome,I like their demonstration. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We need a bit more Samurai in the world right now.
Japanese 武士 Samurai weapons are illegal in Japan.
@@amalachi3677 Something similar in
Australia. And aren't they regretting it!
I know it is some form of art but it looked way less spectacular than I expected, no front
7:30 What a perfectly traced cut... I can only imagine the hours of practice. Beautiful cut
Nah he just pressed ∆ ∆ O
Took 8 mins to finally chopper the target. Why did they hop onto one foot? And what's with the little stab thing they did before sitting down? I just don't understand what's happening here. I mean no disrespect. Just genuinely curious.
The foot hop is probably just a training bit to work on your balance while cutting, it's a practice thing, not something you'd remotely do if you had to fight. It's quite a common thing, done also in Asayama Ichiden-ryu and Jikishinkage-ryu for instance.
The little stab thing is a form of chiburi, the symbolic shaking of the blood from the blade... or it's just a execution stab to a downed enemy. Chiburi is more likely.
Note that these are practice forms, not practical fighting forms.
A interesting note, most of these techniques were developed after the height of actual sword combat and during the period
Where the state tried to out law the sword people who still practiced Shinto made a case that it was a part of their heritage as Japanese people and created these katas as an art form. While the moves are on hundred percent deadly strikes they are not likely the techniques you would use in battle . These katas were designed around meditation, preservation of tradition, and preservation of the sword. Remember swords at this time would cast as much as a house and were passed down for many generations. Just an interesting not from a sword fighter that has spent years trying to uncover practical techniques for sword fighting
@@Immortal_BP Maybe against blind people….
A lot of martial arts are like that tho. They were once used for combat either deadly or not. Now most of them turn into an art form where it usually won't work if time of chaos come. Sure it'll work in simple defence but not in war/deadly fight
Sneaking up on a rolled up beach mat and chopping it, the long winter evenings must just fly by.
I bet those pants/shorts are comfortable as heck
war pajamas
When you've just finished playing Ghost of Tsushima..
Reminds me of that Kids in the Hall sketch: "Oh yeah that lying in the tub of water thing."
Admit it, the Japanese really got the best style of fighting out there
Bro fencing got nun on kendo and kenjutsu. Japan was ahead of its time
If you're talking about sword fighting was but MA than it would be western styles more
No.
Lots of training and commitment to their art, very impressive 👍
甲冑や着物がとても美しい
6:50 is when the cutting starts
Man! It must have been hard as heck
tying to use the bathroom in those
outfits.
Lol. I just pictured a soldier fully uniformed running across the training field to the woods to drop a load while frantically trying to undress.
Maybe the real shojitsu kenrikata, were the friends we made along the way.
Those invisible ninja assassins never stood a chance against their combined might.
The at rest positure of the three was interesting. Each one different, totally at rest while on guard. They would make nice chess pieces.
I wonder what the reason is for lifting up the right leg during the strike? Is it to avoid the the opponent's falling head?
I can only assume, but maybe it is meant to avoid a spear thrust targeting the feet.
Lol as if the falling head would be worth training in a specific way to avoid it. It's likely avoiding some sort of strike.
@@TheDocAstaroth totally agree
Could be to dodge an opponents stroke to the leg while returning with your own, there’s a similar move in Scottish broadsword fencing.
Avoiding a strike is possible. It might also possibly be done to practice or demonstrate the power of cutting even when the balance is compromised or less than ideal. Impossible to say without knowing how and why it is taught that way.
Everyone’s talking about respect for the fighters and the blade, I guarantee no matter how honorable you may be, if your life or the life of someone you loved life was on the line you would do WHATEVER necessary to prevent harm and or death.
like the samurai that react to ghost of tsukishima once said: "There is no dishonorable way, just kill them, you know"
Yes. Honor comes before & after the sword is drawn
Honestly, if you’re defending life, your own or someone else’s, the most moral thing you can do is win quickly and efficiently. Let no harm come by bringing em harm quick. It’s the logical conclusion of everything applied in fighting
If you didn't know, a Samurai main weapon isn't the sword. It's the spear or polearm, swords were meant as a emergency weapon and ceremonial duties. Because unlike the movies, swords won't cut through thick cloth like a gambeson, hardened leather, mail and plate.
they be testing my patience
So if I'm understanding what I'm seeing here correctly, there isn't a significant difference between kata for an uchigatana and kata for a tachi?
I understand for the most part that the Tachi was meant to be used on horseback as a sort of equivalent to the cavalry saber, but I was unsure if there were any significant differences when wielding a tachi on foot.
Either way it's really fascinating to see demonstrations done with a sword that's been so largely overlooked by popular culture.
The war on inanimate wooden objects continues to go well.
nadimvdr we’ve been winning so hard
@@Towkeeyoh ikr bro, they re getting rekt so hard

If it makes you feel better, they also used live humans and corpses (mainly criminals and homeless people) to test blade sharpness
Watch at 2x speed.
I’m sure it takes a lifetime of hard work and dedication but I’m pretty sure I could knock out those forms in a weekend.
Thank you this is awesome to see it done in full gear. Thank you
It must be difficult to fight in that armor but dam they're good
At least it's not a 15th century European helmet,
All you have is a slit to see through in some circumstances
@Nikolaij Brouiller keyboard warrior
Japanese armor allows a surprisingly high amount of flexibility. Not that you need it; a lot of Japanese swordplay doesn't require a lot of fancy maneuvers like in wushu.
@@Matt_PunchEnthusiast_Morris don't get as many arrows to the eyes that way tho... pros and cons...
@goggles789 actually they were for combat purposes, that's the whole point they exist. Techniques aimed to kill. Most of today's new martial arts and combat techniques come from these old ones. That's how effective they were and are still, if you understand how to read them.
Cool costumes For NYC subway!
If only people would dedicate themselves to kindness as the Samurai dedicates himself to the way of the blade, the world would be a much better place.

Do beautiful..yet so frightening...much respect
Masters of precision!
Easy to have precision when the target is stationary, i suspect a real duel to the death like in real life would have been a lot more frantic, and probably wouldn't be using swords, rather spears or halberds, samurai would only use swords as a last resort.
Does the crouching position they do have a name? I'm not sure I've seen it anywhere else but then again I'm not super knowledgeable on sword techniques anyway

I believe right samurai can sit in the most artwork-worthy way
I own a sword, but after watching this I'm embarrassed to own a sword
Sword were not always meant for combat, they are purchased for decorative, spiritual, combat, practice and as gifts.
@9600GTMAN the respect for the sword they have is nearly like they praise it like a god, he is ashamed because he owns the sword for absolutely no reason while these dudes worked through the ranks for it
Perhaps he's embarrassed because he simply "Owns" a Sword.
While some people have more tradition and study behind their ownership, meaning more than just "its cool".
Unless he's trying to insult the video.
In which case you're supposed to admire the movements and work than went into it.
If he thinks it's "cringe" or easy. I want him to simply sheath a katana properly in one form.
Awesome. The samurai are cool and extremely excellent warriors. The samurai warrior is one of my favorites and seeing these folks, they did an excellent job.
Well after playing plenty of samurai games, I want to try this for real!!
Can anyone explain in detail what is going on here and the significance of the moves and postures?
Kantas, battle stances, attacking an enemy behind, just showing forms and culture of patients. Also some showmanship. This is all a guess I'm not an expert just a fan
@@peterhardman127 appreciate the. Answer , I get all that I've dabbled in martial arts a little bit. So I get katas or forms .

I absolutely love the era of the Samurai and they're my main reason for taking up Iai & Kendo 16 years but I'm not going to pretend like that leaping onto 1 leg while the other leg hovers is an impressive technique.
@goggles789 You could say that about any class of people in power. It doesn't mean you can't admire them for their good aspects.
@@keewffbywrhathrrd3603 it is very hard for Asian countries’ people to say so, since there had been too many victims robbed, slaughtered and raped A Lot by Japanese pirates who were later on respectfully treated as real Samurais thanks to their tribute to the government. This large scale Japanese pirates militias later on became the back bone of naval forces later on just as Victoria Britain’s pirates did.
Most Asian countries do know that the fascinating concept of Samurais and their sprit were forges and glorified much later on, when there were no more civil wars and they turned into gentleman, government officials and scholars with swords.
