Seitei Kata 1 - 4 standing | an alternative way to grade for Seitei (Howto Seitei)

- For adult beginners & even those whom studies the 'Way' for a long period of time, knee strain & injuries would be the most common problems we shall face when the art requires long periods of kneeling up and down of Seiza regardless of Budo or other Japanese Cultural Arts.
One fortunate levity that Seitei have is it allows Iaidoka to practice & grade in Standing positions as well - particularly for those who have knee problems. Technically the techniques and leg movements are essentially the same, so for those who wants to put less strain in their knees & those who are not fortunate to have a soft practice surface or misplaced their knee pads - try Kata 1 - 4 standing.
of course whenever possible it is advisable to wear knee pads or practice in soft surface that does not put heavy pressure on our knees. However sometimes when it reach that stage we need to consider protecting it more from deteriorating knees.

thank you so helpfull with slow mo and english is essential for westerners keep em coming sensei please
thanks for showing so clearly this wil improve my kata because i have back issue`s, i realy love your way of teaching "me" online keep this up it inspires manny people.
im glad the videos is helpful, im moving all these videos to my new Channel, Namazu Ryu Saiken. hope to see you there :)
Thank you very much, it is just what I was looking for, you have helped me a lot to correct some steps in the standing position. thanks for sharing, a big hug from Spain.
You are welcome 😁. It's my interpretation, if you have access to a sensei is best to ask them about it
thank you, really good video! domo!
Absolutely amaizing source of inspiration. Thank U, DOMO !
Thank you for pointing this . I have right knee , completely worn out from arthrose. Seiza is no longer an option.
Hi Namazu I would like to thank you again for posting this video .I will definitely use it as a guide to enhance what I have learned or forgotten during the lesson at my dojo. You are a great help to me.
Im glad i could be helpful - in case you didnt know yet - i am moving my videos to another channel, do find me at Namazu Ryu Saiken
I learnt Mae advancing with my back feet going fowards up to my front heel and Tsuakaate only doing one step with my right feet. It's only a matter of distance. Buy I think it also may work the way you do it. I like watching people training and improving. Keep going!
thank you!
and yes perhaps i should've said the standing kata is my interpretation from the seiza position, i wasnt formerly taught to do it standing. Just some observations when doing grading by senior iaidokas
How does the YT algorithm know this is exactly the video I need? :-) Just this Monday I finally got to the stage where I have all the parts I need to do a standing Mae (though I suck at it, of course). And you even do the flat/horizontal saya position on noto my sensei does.
Yet another great video. And as I finally got an obi, it's training time at home... :-) And I also do love my knees. Good Mizuno knee pads are helping, but yeah, seiza sucks. :-)
Haha TH-cam algorithm are pretty scary sometimes😅. But they do point you the things you don't know you need sometimes 😁
Ah the horizontal noto is a style commonly found in Muso Shinden Ryu style.
@@namazuryusshugyo5214 Yeah, that's where sensei's sensei draws from.
Luckily, my terrace is big enough for katas that only do one direction, so I'm fine so far on a bank holiday with no dojo... :-) It's a bit cold out there though (Prague); wish I was in Australia right now. :-)
Merci sensei de depasser le carcan des conventions et de choisir la souplesse et l adaptabilite
Thank you very much, I requested this kind of help due to my arthritis in the knees, this is just what I was looking for, well done
Thank you very much 😁. When you mentioned It gave me another idea for a video which I think could be helpful for some...truthfully im starting to feel some slight issues with my left knees whenever I carry my baby
Bravo. Grazie!
😊😊😊
Thank you for posting this, I am finding my knees are hurting after every practice session. I'm sure this will help
I'm glad it helps, just need some adjustments even when things prevents us from practice
Not only the knee factor Shugyo, we as westerners do not do almost everything in seiza, do not get me wrong, I am not critizicing I love the way of life of the japanese, but starting Iaido at 30 years old doing seiza for the first time is painful, I do Iaido now in seiza with knee pads, but having the option to do it standing up is great, thanks and congratulations for your videos, cheers!
Yes everyone start their Martial Art Journey at different age - so having knee pads is pretty useful because this art demands alot of seiza practice. Even the senior practitioners in Japan at some point couldnt handle it and had to do their art standing
As I understand it Iaido is about doing moves from normal positions. If you have serious long-term knee injuries, seiza is about as normal as standing on your head...
thank you very mutch! I have problems with my knee´s since I kiss the road after an accident with my yamaha :D
I'm sorry to hear that - hope my videos are somewhat helpful to some extent, please do take my video as a reference - im still a student afterall - i may have miss some things or there maybe misinterpretations due to my lack of experiance
Nice! I think most people don't know this!
I think people just dont talk about it much 😁. During my grading there was a few that do their 3rd dan standing
Merci. Grace a vos vidéos j’apprends seul l’Iaido chez moi.
🙇🙇🙇
Arigato gozaimashita.
Your welcome 😁
thank you for this because I am of a certain age and knees do seem to be refusing to cooperate 😂
Thanks! hope you like it - unfortunately even for me I am starting to develop pain occasionally on the knees when i carry my baby. It's something people don't talk about enough i think
at 7.40 you start all 4 kata`s but after chiburi you dont switch legs,as you showed in the beginning?
do you need to switch legs or not when you do kata?
for the 4th kata - we dont switch the leg after chiburi
Thanks
Your welcome 😁 if there is further ideas I'm willing to take a look at them to the best of my abilities for sure
Really nice video, but a version without the music would be great :-)
Any koryu kata would be deeply appreciated
I'll keep that in mind. People find koryu to be sensitive material to share...I'm also in the middle of studying koryu, meanwhile you can see one of my video which I did Omoriryu embu
