Sir I love your videos you are an amazing teacher I like the way you explain things
The oldest koryu are actually very different from each other depending on the region they were developed in and martial philosophy of their founder.
Thank You very much Senzei, you covered much about swords types and applications. Your knowledge is second to none! I wish I was close by to take some classes from you. But your presentations are fascinating and informative. Domo Arigato.
I enjoy your videos so much thank you I will catch myself watching them two and three times I absolutely love the history.... I hope I get to meet you someday thank you
Glad you like them!
I really enjoy your philosophy Sensei. I am a student as well for many years and I had originally stumbled upon one of your earlier videos about the jutte/sai as that was the weapon I was training at that particular time. Your depth of knowledge brought me back and in doing so I have gained a deep level of respect for you. I would love to visit the dojo in the future. I'm approximately 200 miles being in Toledo, but perhaps in the future traveling for work I cannot you. Really enjoying this channel sir
Good talk my brother.
Great video sir. Truth is Truth!
Very informative video thanks
Some of those are ,hand to hand combat.I am,'Bushido'.All cool,like your talk,first greeting.
Yes.Tsuba,must blend in.
Jidai means period/era. For example Sengoku Jidai or even Edo Jidai.
I seems to me like a katana tsuka and saya with wakizashi blade would be ideal for shinobi use.
thanks
Was talking about Musashi with a friend the other day and how the sword schools were so similar with each having its own small variations that when Musashi decided to use two swords and exploited those similarities by just using unorthodox techniques and strategies, basically he cheated! totally gamed the system, that combined with his size and strength and battlefield experience made him kind of op.
Unfortunately, that is a myth as some documents and styles have been using 2 swords before the invention of Musashi's Niten ichi ryu in the Edo Period.
Sensei Norcross, Who was your teacher in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu? Thank you for your video.
The so called Ninja-to did exist and can be traced to the edo period ashigaru samurai foot soldiers. And was later adapted by the Shinobi. But Shinobi were not regulated to use just the streight blade, they would also use the Katana. It just depended on the mission.
10:00 Suguha hamon! Such a shame that style isn't more popular because I love the aesthetics of it, it makes me think of bordering or pinstripes on a classic car, it sort of highlights and brings attention to the curve of the blade, but its also not as "flashy" to me as the other styles. To each their own though.
How old do you have to be to learn iaido
Just as in European history, there are a multitude of sword forms. Different purposes, different fashions over time - heck even simply the preferences of a ruler or a teacher/master - created unique swords and techniques.
In Europe the increased usage of firearms created a wider range of blade types. In Japan the samurai had a greater control over the weapon development and so they look more similar to the untrained eye.
I have a katana and a tanto that is no longer a tight fit when sheathed. Is there a way to remedy this. Thanks.
Yes. Shim one side of the koiguchi with super thin piece of wood to make the hole tighter. Takes some time but anyone can do it. Search on TH-cam for videos on it. They are there.
@@thedojomartialarts thanks I appreciate it.
your best argument for weapons is you are going to get old your kicks may not work anymore but it nothing you cant do with a cane
Did time periods have different requirements on what the samurai carried at all times. Obviously the Katana was the main but sometimes ive read the secondary weapon was the Tanto or Wakizashi and sometimes they carried all 3.
I hope this answers your questions.
The Samurai started carrying around Two Swords, the Uchi-Katana and the Wakizashi during the Edo period, it was kinda by law that Samurai should be identifiable leading to the carrying of Two Swords.
why wouldn't ninjas just use a katana if they wanted to blend in with the samurai?
edit: well a shorter katana,
nvm my question he said ninjas use shotos
They did use katana as well. You are right - to blend in is best.
Hey Boss, maybe this has nothing to do with the video but i own a replica Japanese sword or samurai sword. The thing is the sword is covered with some what it seems is wax. Do you know the purpose of that? and there is a way to remove it? thanks
Often companies will cover blades with wax for shipping and to prevent rust. It really is a pain to get off and out of the scabbard. Just wipe it carefully, over and over, until it is gone.
Im talking about the era where people carry Glock 22s with a mag capacity of 17 rounds and a spare mag seated snuggly next to their holster. What about that era?
I mean you started out sounding pretty reasonable I agree any Martial Arts practitioner should incorporate weapons. Then you go off on all these different weapons that will do no one any good especially those long swords made for horseback lol. I mean it's relative as a lesson in history...but I thought you were going to talk about shit thats relative to today's modern warrior.
David. That comment shows that you could not possibly know less about the spirit of practice, and you sadly misinterpret what training in all types of martial arts is all about. Of course, we train in firearms. It would be dumb not to. That is not what this topic was at all discussing. Those who only rely on only firearms are only playing one card of a 7-card hand. Get to your local dojo for a few years and your mind about self-protection will be opened. - Good training to you.
My philosophy of training is simple...as someone wiser than me said once "an amateur practices till they get it right...a professional practices till they can't get it wrong." Out of all the of the things I've learned over the years, shooting is by far one the most perishable skills...and requires regular practice to maintain fluidity and precision. I see a lot of bullshit on here being taught by so called martial artists and black belts that will get people killed in the real world. As a contractor my job is to train people with weapons, particularly guns, to keep them alive in a life and death scenario. I will always have respect for martial arts...hell I've wanted to be a ninja since I was 7 years old! Lol...Im always looking for ways to expand my knowledge and add another tool to my toolbox.
I am glad you do firearms training...from my perspective in our modern day arena that should be priority...then added to that is hand to hand and melee type weapons. My apologies for being a tad abrasive I just really like what you said about anyone studying martial arts would really benefit from weapons training....was just hoping you would have delved into that topic a little more and with weapons that would be useful in the real world.
Whoever reads this, can you please send a link or comment what the name or style sword I can get at 6:17 it looks so awesome and a must have for my collection!
Considering the katana is worn blade down, this is probably a Udotachi, mainly used on horseback.
