i'm fell like a samurai when i saw this kind of presentation..very brave not only in action but in mind.
Akab6 you are very kind and polite to upload this. My biggest passion is the bushido and the samurai lifestyle. Thank you very much sempai.
I really dont care what people say i really did enjoy this game it reminded me alot about the original two and i found the fighting quite fun.
True Discipline and Real education for Life.
Love it !
There is a touching story that occurred in 1869 samurai Aizu in Japan, where a battalion of white tigre (composed of youngsters), after fighting bravely on behalf of his master, committed suicide in a nearby hill to the castle that defended so bravely, the burst which saw one of these young survived and told the story.
I hope this dojo still existing in my country.
The Yin and The Yang Ballance of Nature is perfection so we have difficulty practicing it yet in practicing the Yin and Yang we achieve perfection and ballance.
@Tcoldsteel71 cool to hear that. this is the first time I've seen the actual documentary, but I've had the book for this series for decades now, and it always had a motivational effect on me. It's nice to actually see the video to match all the great photos and articles
Wow, to see somebody writing kanjis, its awesome, he does it so fast.
really good and atractive..Thank you..Part 4 please
i am a descendent of a japanese samurai warrior. i would love to visit this dojo to get in touch with my heritage
I didn't mean it as an argument, and I agree on the differences you mentioned. But everyone is a servant in some way, even if it is not to a person. I, like many people, could never refer to anyone as 'master', but we all serve a cause/ideal, even if it is only one's personal 'code' that they try to follow. There are things we do and don't allow ourselves to do, and we subject ourselves to the rewards and punishments of our own choosing. Thus, we serve because it serves us to do so.
Studying the book 'Hagakure' is a fine place to start. It is a general account of the mentalities and beliefs of many different samurai during the time the author considered their prime.
For a more martial/fighting aspect of bushido, you should study Musashi's 'Book of 5Rings'. It deals directly with the skills of fighting and the mentality of a fighter, but it certainly applies to every aspect of life, fighter or not.
Some ideas are surely older than 17th century, but still the composition of Hagakure is more of a servant-master kind of things. But with proper interpretation it is still a good book.
Yes, it is 13. They were given a small decorative sword as a child. But they were made a true samurai and given their Daisho (two swords) at 13.
They truly had no fear. Which is what made there fighting style unmatchable
at the end of this video he was talking about the nine spells "Rin" they are also more used in ninjitsu movies lol
I forgot but they were many styles. But what ive always wondered if there was a hiten mitsurugi type style that was over all.
To be specific, they stated an interest in "the ways of the samurai". For that, Hagakure is a fine source since it concerns just that instead of the way of how to be a warrior. Also, though the book was compiled and the ideas, etc of Tsunetomo and his scribe added much later than the 15th century, much of the contents do date back much farther and were shared by many of TSKSR's originators. Afterall, there was a time when both ways were considered inseperable.
I wouldn't put it as a servitude, because to serve means not to follow your own will, but someone's else. It is rather an understanding of what is the most important in life and the devotion to this because it is your own will, and not because someone said to do so. But it is just a matter of terms we are using, overall we are talking about the same thing here XD
Damn, his handwriting is better than mine. A true martial art master is also a master of art, huh?
Hagakure dates back to 17th century, while TSKSR dates back to 15th century so it is not a good start for learning the way of the warrior, but a good start for learning the way of the samurai or otherwise servant.
There is a great difference between this two archetypes and mentalities. TSKSR is all about being a warrior not a servant.
I don't mean to sound preachy. It's really just a reiteration of what you said. If one applies logic befitting this modern world instead of that of the 17th century, the ideas and ideals of Hagakure can definitely flow with and assist rather than contrast any lifestyle one may choose, budo or otherwise.
If your from Japan then -> of course it does. Its in Narita city, Chiba Prefecture.
i would give a lot to learn the ways of the samurai :(
Vysokij uploaded it here:
"Katori Shinto Ryu on BBC (4/4)"
the way of the samurai is honorable
So he is a wizard!!
Why was i not born earlier?
Damn it!!
Yes... me too!!! What's happened to part 4?
Something very important is said at 9:36 which I think a lot of people do overlook. However, I am not saying to give credit where it is due. I would just like that to not be forgotten to some.
@Mo312Mo Now, that is one of the most intrisincally correct statements that i've read on TH-cam. Modern. Hai!
I think the only thing we differ on is the definition of 'servitude'. It's easy to link it with slavery, which if I'm not mistaken, is what you described. As a father I make choices to benefit my family, and in that aspect I serve them well, though of course I don't bow down to them or take orders from anyone, as would a slave. I think true service is nothing more than being a true benefit to oneself and the things which one cares about, not slavery. But, we are on the same page. Respect :]
The theory of the five mythical beast (dragon, fenix, tortoise and white tiger-snake), has its origins in the theory of five elements china (wuxing), where each element has a central point and a beast. Samu is in the squad orgnaizaban (Thais), depending on the age of samu:
-White Tiger: Beginner 15-17 years
-Fenix: Young professionals 18-35 years.
-Dragon: Veteran 35-59 years
Turtle-snake old masters +59 years.
o thx finally someone who knows
This is used to prepare the right state of mind - and this conditioning of the mind is essential for winning any fight. Even in sport competitions - determination rules, not to say in a fight to death. Plus it has some deeper meaning - but for explaining the meaning to you this is unimportant really.
It's cool how some Japanese people still know how to write traditional chinese (or kanji) :]
But I love his accent. Can anybody identify it? I only know the Tokyo/Kantô-ben and a little Osaka-ben.
@Mo312Mo cant argue with you there although i would use the term warrior instead of samurai
The real tradition is that you should do 切腹 seppuku when you're ashamed.
Please excuse me if this was not directed at my statement.
I would not consider any human being above another, unless one was just truly low in every way (having a complete lack of honour, etc), as we have long passed the era of masters and slaves.
This Way still applies, however, if directed at an ideal rather than an individual, and if achieving the goals you've set means taking orders (or bowing) at a certain time, that is your duty to yourself, not another (your boss, for example)
ever been here ?
@UniversalTruths The funny thing is when I lived in Japan people said the same thing about the west. I've lived in various places across the globe and people always thing the grass in greener. Everyone has a rich culture but people who live in that culture are used to it so they don't see it as special where as something foreign seems more interesting.
The people brought their own Kimonos, Bokken, etc...Right?
i want to be a samurai.
I agree,as much as I respect the ways and rules of the samurai,I really can't see my self going around and bowing at every little statue and living in the countryside in a temple.I mean cmon now how far do you have to go?
Me too man.
@legendaryrurouni you should try learning the art of "thug life" or "unloading a nine" ....actually lill wayne would be a great master.
badass
me thinks that this is especially true in the westernized modern Japan of today
i don't think we can call them modern "samurai", but i think the medieval ones would win of course! they were prepared to everything and they had a great experience of killing in the outside world, not only in the dojo
do the dojos still exist?
Won't play. The other parts do.
it was like this.....if u losed from someone that u fighted. then u needed to commit seppuke,..... (for the ppl that dont know what seppuke is it´s suicide if u commit it u regain honer).... on the other side i think it is a little bit stupid if u commit seppuke to regain honer... but yeah i it´s their kind of relegion ....
uhmm..part 4..please??.... ;_;
he dosent disaagree with this... he says you must live on in shame to acheive your aim
say if you diamho is killed and 47 of you decide to avenge his death but must live on ....
then again bushido was pretty much established during a peaceful period in japan since the shogan really controlled the diamho from edo, so the samurai sat around thinking rather then fighting
is it true that the average samurai got there sword at 13?
15 was the age a person who was training got a sword usualy if they lived the test the test was usualy fighting someone els
so that's where the naruto hand signs came from
yeah i should thx
i wish ancient warriors were still around but that will never hapan unless they learn how to deflet bullets and modern proof armor and things to protect againts bombs but it wont happen
That isn't true. I don't know where you got that information.
well the way i see it, is that they believe it in, so its not like a hassle. kinda like if you are superstitious and you have to walk in a building with your right foot every time.
LOL.
Naruto has taken over how the youth of America views samurai, ninja or any other oriental warrior.
It's freaking hilarious.
i believe it's important that martial arts is learned in the context of a whole life philosophy. Only people who will dedicate their whole lives to higher standards would you want to be skilled fighters - at least in peace time. Why should we want a blockhead learning to fight?
well the way i think of it is that religion is a voluntary thing, is it not? no one is exactly forcing you to believe in god/buddha/allah etc. but you take on it also makes sense
I don't know...
I'd say many Japanese are taking baseball to a religious level.
And not many care about the religions of their culture.
How ever the concept of wa has edured and may be what
makes the nation such a wonderful place.
It is like saying you wish to fly without your feet ever leaving the ground. They are intrinsic. With fighting, dancing, sex, cooking, drawing, or anything called an art, it is impossible to gain true skill without first understanding its essence.
Understand where it comes from, how, why and when it is or is not used. Only then will your mind be at the place where your body can attain the desired level of skill.
Would you want a 'chauffer' who knew nothing about how to drive a car?
its more jungian than freudian. but point taken. and i agree.
It's not that they have to do it, but more like a religion. Why do people go to church every sunday?
you mean if there were shit all laws round and if it were legal for us to carry round swords.
yeah ok
srry i didn't mean to give you a thumbs down and i herd that from my friend who's probably wrong but oh well
i see
i thought naruto was chinese....
you people do realize that religion and goofy hand signs dnt make you a better swordsman right. asains are just hella superstitious. if it really protected people no samurai ever wouldve died in battle
@shubroto81 lil wayne is a black smurf not a thug tupac a thug big pun a thug even plies a thug but not wayne lol
Well what would you expect. They were once Chinese.
Move to Japan and learn. Simple
they don't care about you either.
wtf is yr malfinction?
who cares?
indeed. disgusting.
