It was a thrill watching Sugano Shihan's every move. How lucky it would be to have him as your Sensei. It was weird, however, to have the French guy translate Shihan's commentary for the hostess as if she couldn't understand what he said. They should have just let her explain what he said.
I mainly practice karate and I use iaido for concentration, meditation and faster reflexes and I have noticed a TREMENDOUS difference in my karate kata and sparring
@ 15:00 I almost 100% guarantee massive samurai battles were much more like the movies and not so formal, however I am not a time traveler hahaha but I'm sure that scheduled 1v1 death matches were definitely very formal not large scale battles..
@@loseingman Battojutsu is one of ancient Samurai's sword techniques . It means "techniques for drawing a sword". (Drawing a sword means killing enemies.) But Samurai's era was over a long time ago. Therefore, Battojutsu was made into Iaido in these days. Iaido means how to protect yourself. But there are many styles of Iaido. So some styles of Iaido separated from traditional Iaido's organization and they named their styles "Battodo". It means to expand one's sensibilities by learning Battojutsu. However, the techniques of them are almost same.
This is weird. Battodo is an older name for what is now called Iaido. Cutting targets is tameshigiri and doing it originally was meant to test the blade not the swordsman. Cutting targets for the skill or competition is a modern thing. Interesting that this group is calling what it does with tameshigiri by the old name of battodo. The basic stances (kamae) they show are part of training in Iaido and Kendo. Cutting targets is done by some Iaido groups and not by others. There really is nothing unique here.
Craig Hocker unfortunately there are many groups who confuse basic skill with a style I've been to who knows how many events and what ppl pass off as a style our dojo teaches on day one. Not saying the basics should t be done everyday but I think for that most part ppl like tamashigeri because of immediate results I'd say every so often it's cool to make sure your cutting right and tactile use is good for that but it's not an actual disciple unto itself but rather a training tool.
Battodo gets its name from Battōjutsu, the traditional name of what we call iaijutsu. But you're right in that this is a modern sport. It remains unique in being a sport that uses real sharpened blades though, in contrast to kendo or modern iajutsu, which uses blunt blades.
1 iaido and battodo has different organization- 2 Battodo use shape swords iaido only on high grades. 3 battodo practice bamboo cutting,iaido does not.

As the programme is for the Western English speaking audience, it is reasonable to choose Western English speaking practitioners to demonstrate their discipline. Moreover, as it is promoting knowledge of Japan to Westerners, it is more empathetic for the audience to choose Westerners.
nerd just means he's very knowledgable and passionate about a subject. You're probably a nerd too in playing and dying ps4 games and hollering yer mum from the basement. haha
I really like the sheathing part, like how the sword is turned and twisted without even noticing it before going back to its sheathe.
So there is a french guy translating Japanese to a Japanese lady in English... ok!
Btw, it's very horizontal!
Thats the plot twist
*MR. WORLDWIDE*
"The horizontal cut is very difficult" "Yeah, it's very horizontal" XD

Around 11:20 his blade fucking disappears. True master. Holy shit.

0:48 holy cow is that Hiroyuki Sanada?
Kinda looks like him a little!
5:09 that guy felt down too funny 🤣
Where does he buy his Kimono i am trying to find where to get something like it
The opening
5:32 anyone knows that song?
抜刀術は古くから剣道の技術としてあったが、抜刀道は４０年位しか歴史がない。
侍時代の剣術スピリットを受け継ぐものかは疑問です。
古武道の抜刀術（居合術）を現代武道化したものが居合道、居合道も古い歴史はない。
抜刀道は居合道から抜けて独立したつもりの政治的派閥の産物。
理屈ばかりゴネてても何も証明できないと思いますよ。
He (Boo Obaka) kept grumbling and criticizing, and just saying his own theory XD so, "dont do it", I said to him.
What is different between the Samurai? Or it is the same thing?

Is there any weapon based martial art this guy doesn't practice?
Fencing!!!
Only in this century he is western and she is japanese.
lol
that intro 🙊
Talking about Battodo without talking about Kato Shinji sensei ?!. What a shame !
😎👍👍
Do the creators of the Rurouni Kenshin movie know you're using their song in your video? Lolol
Since this show is produced by NHK, the national TV station of Japan I am sure they ahve all the rights they need.

The use of that word instead of tameshigiri is indeed weird.

Ink bending
your thumb isnt holding the tsuba... this is the most basic sword eqittette
this is an exception in bullshido because battodo has to be practical
Baka
It’s more for concentration and meditation, like the tea ceremony
@@2piecesofwood1pieceofrope well, no. This supposed to be useful in fight/killing because it was develope exactly to this purpose.
I am so disappointed about that Japanese reporter that she is asking a foreigner about her culture 😞
IT'S always white guys.😵

@@BigHenFor i agreed your right and blessings to you.
But they always demonstrate it well anyway. At least they still choose experience masters.
@Urahara Kisuke My thoughts exactly
@@BigHenFor westerners need not always be a white guy
This guy is a nerd.
