- Yushinkan which teaches Yushin-Ryu is an Iai, Kenjutsu, and Tameshigiri Dojo with its headquarters in Osaka, branches in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Mie. About 100 students are training in Yushin-ryu, and I have trained at the Kyoto branch for about a year now, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. There are some interesting unique characteristics to this ryuha that you wouldn’t see anywhere else, so I hope you can watch this video until the end to learn about it.

Very nice Budo i hope it never dies out
Fantastic. Women samurai were few. But they did make an impression like Tomoe Gozen. Love this video. Great to see your dojo.
Wonderful!! So, interesting to hear Yushin Sensei's answers and thoughts! And the dojo is so inviting. If I was in Japan, I would love to visit and attend. Thank you, Shogo, for another fabulous video!!❤
Great video Shogo! Visiting the dojo was extremely fun during my Kyoto visit. Will be back again 💪🏽😊
Wonderful stuff! I especially enjoyed the participation by the women!! I would be proud to see my granddaughters training so carefully!
This could be an opportunity for anyone who stays in Kyoto for a longer time (a semester? found a job in Japan??)
Had the chance to take part in one training session there.
And it was amazing!!
So your statemen at 13:30....100% true 😀
I joined a Kenjutsu training in Germany, our Sensei is from Japan and it is very interesting to see both similarities and differences to your dojo.
I fully agree with Yushin Sensei on the financial aspect. Seeing people so dedicated to Budo arts, and people that genuinely have a talent for teaching, I fully agree they should be able to make it their fulltime job and be able to support a family of their own.
I can relate to training with sharpened katana as being a spice to life.
It reminds me of going to the range and shooting guns.
It's fun training yourself to become a more proficient marksman of course. But you're also always aware that you're handling and operating a deadly weapon so while also being fun to do, you take it very seriously.
I love that women have specific moves and slight differences in things like katana bowing. And I love that someone like me with no experience but a deep love of samurai culture and swords can still try and learn.
Awesome video with insight on your dojo and its family tradition. I believe the Dojo will find a way to overcome today’s challenges 🔥🔥🐉
The most important item in doing Kenjutsu is the intent of both participants. Without intent, these kata are just choreography. Solo kata training needs to be supplemented with pair training in order to fully understand sword dynamics.
Thank you for sharing 💖🙏 that's really inspiring!
Loved your video and detailed explanations. I ll try my luck and book a session for this tuesday
I have literally learned something new at every point in this video, especially the Iaido portion. Well done!
What an awesome video, I really enjoyed watching the training session from the cameras point of view. It made me feel as if I was there in the dojo. Such a magical display of tradition. I truly wish it never dies out.
Great Training. It's a bit Like Mugai Ryu. We also train Iai, Kenjutsu and Tameshigiri. 😊
Great video! Thanks!
Cant wait to come back to the dojo. I plan to come next year again, for about 3 weeks.
Thank you Shogo for the amazing video! It was great to see the training, I hope one day I can try it too!
Very informative and enjoyable video, as usual.
The Sensei seems like an extremely competent, down-to-earth and no-nonsense gentleman.
Hi, Shogo-san. I am Sandi, your subscriber from Indonesia. Previously, I would like to thank Shogo-san for introducing one of Japanese culture, the katana.
Because of the videos about katana that shogo-san uploaded. I have finally started my katana training and have bought an iaito as well. I was very impressed with the shogo-san training video with seki-sensei who introduced "Asayama Ichiden Ryu". Now every morning I always start my day by watching Shogo-san's video with Seki-sensei while following his movements.
I wish shogo-san would also make and upload a video like this about "The Day in The Training of Asayama Ichiden Ryu". I'm really looking forward to it, ありがとうございます
What an awesome video. I love getting a glimpse into the training of different styles of iaido and other martial arts. I would love to see this Ryu come to the US. Keep up the great work!
I still have your sensei's explanation about the motivation of training with a potentially dangerous and deadly weapon and the excitement it can bring in our everyday routine. I'm a sportshooter here in Germany and own and shoot several firearms that need lots of training and not everybody is allowed to do. I feel graced of having reached a level of training where I am able to own my very own guns and rifles and enjoy competing with other shooters. So I really feel your sensei's words ...!
Wonderful video Shogo san! Visiting Yushin kan and meeting you in Kyoto was truly an amazing experience🤗
Great video! I will definitely sign up for the experience next time I'm in Kyoto.
Just from watching the small clips, I have already learnt so much, I'm sure that your sensei is proud of the Dojo.
interesting look into the dojo! thanks shogo!
I love this channel! Arigato!
A very interesting and enjoyable experience to watch and learn. Thank you. I would very much enjoy attending.
Awesome information
Very interesting and informative for me as a Traditional Shotokan Karate Sensei to see the similarities and differences between our martial art practices. Thank you for letting us see into your Dojo and your amazing Iai training. For me Kata is always my favorite and seeing yours was a great honor, OSS
Outstandind . I will visit you when i come to Japan most definitely.🙏🏼
i really enjoyed this video and have alot of intrest for it, i really think it was amazing to learn and watch the pepole do the training. You are the person who made me get my intrest for the katana agian, and this time i am very sure i will keep trying the home traning video since i live a place where its hard to find iaido lessons. You have inspeierd me to much there is no way i cant thank you. I wish you great luck in the future shogo-san and thank you so much.

The curriculum of Yu Shin Ryu is creative and interesting. In particular, Dan ranks for Tamishigeri. I am a deshi of the Itto Tenshin Ryu. I have always felt that there are many aspects to Kenjustu. Not the least of which are Iai Jutsu (kata), Kumitachi, and Tameshigeri.
this is so cool!
I am a month late to the video, but I must say this was really interesting to watch! I love the idea of combining iai, kenjutsu and tameshigiri into one.
This art is so beautiful. I truly wish to someday learn Iaido and make enough money to study there from Yushin Sensei. I don’t know how to memorize things I learn just from watching it once but I am willing to learn how to. I really want to learn Iaido and practice it for a very long time so I can strive to become the best version of myself every day. This video moved me very much. Thank you Shogo. 😄🙇🏻♂️
Wonderful I really hope I get the opportunity to see the dojo and possibly meet while I'm in Japan this year
Great video Shogo
While I agree with the sentiment that art will not survive unless people can dedicate themselves to it, but I also agree with the sentiment that using traditional culture to earn money risks diluting the art, promoting only what "sells", rather than the whole art.
In countries where work hours are strictly regulated, there seems to be a greater possibility to practice martial arts, or training in some other art, after work. And the way it works in Sweden, at least, most dojos and other "hobby" associations can get a big part of their funds from state grants, meaning that membership costs can be kept low, and locale fees can be compensated. These two things has enabled alot of Swedes to enjoy and hand down many different arts (not trying to glorify Sweden, just talking from personal experience).
One problem with doing this in Japan, as far as I know, is that Japanese people tend to work very long hours, and I have never heard of small, local dojos getting grants or stipends from the government.
I like you're content and videos you're awsome man :)
I love this 😊
I really like this training concept.
Very enjoyable video! Love your content.
Sadly there aren't any dojo's like this where I live, because this looks super fun.
Nonetheless I like that I can atleast see these sorts of things through your videos. Take care!
very nice video Shogo! i would love to see a vlog like "a day in my life" for getting to know a little more about you! only if you'd like to of course^^
Amazing video Shogo san.
Hi Shogo All your videos are gold. Thax for the effort and time. Can you make a video about Ashi Sabaki in Iaido? Thx
Beautiful art.
I would love to fly to Japan to go train there, you HAVE NO IDEA. Also, your sensei looks so chill! He really looks like a cool guy.
I am testing for DAN in January in Ryushin Shouchi Ryu style with Yahagi Sensei!
I owe Seki sensei and Shogo a great deal.
Their videos came into my life at the exact moment it was needed to inspire me to pick up the Japanese weapon known as uchikatana.
It started me down a path i never knew i'd be a part of.
I am forever grateful.
I would love to take classes like that in Japan. Reminds me of when I took Isshinryu a town over from where I live in TN. Granted we didn't study bushido as vigorously as we did empty hand but learning Bo, Tonfa, and Sai has given me confidence to try other weapons, and I've always had a keen interest in the Katana.
Epic presentation 😎
I was in Kyoto last month and I wish I had known about this! I don't know if you still do this or will next time I'm in Japan (probably next year), but I hope I'll get an opportunity to join you. 🙏🏻
Very cool. I'd love to experience that. I also would like to visit Kyoto to see the tea fields too. I'm in the US, but I love Japanese tea and Katanas.
Can't wait to watch the full video but wanted to ask? Can you make a katana collection video? Thanks in advance and I love you're channel
one major issue with the "entrepreneur stance" in budo is the risk of being overwhelmed by the capitalist ethos and compromising the values of budo for the sake of profit. it requires a very delicate balance. i wonder if state-sponsored public policies aimed at promoting sports and cultural practices couldn't represent a way to preserve budo as a sustainable career path while keeping it away from the downsides of commercialization. i hope yushin-sensei succeeds in his efforts
Looks fun.
Go Shogo!❤
Wow!
Hi, shogo!
Love the video, but I was curious -- might we be able to get a video about Uesegi Kenshin sometime, sort of like you did for Miyamoto Musashi?
Wow ,awesome dojo👍💯🙏⛩🐲⛩
My wife and I will be in Japan this October for her reunion. Hopefully we will be able to work a visit to this Dojo while we are there and we can meet in person.
I've been very interested in Iai for a while now and, after watching this video, I might just have to see if I can swing by this coming August when I visit Japan!
Edit: Just made a reservation to come on August 25th! Really looking forward to it!
I love your content! I've always wanted to pick up Iai. Do you have any recommendations for a hopefull?
This vid made me love swords.
please can you do a video on Iaido stances for the katana
Well that's one badass thumbnail
Its fun learning about Japanese culture, and you have scary ghost videos
hey shogo, could you please do a video on the Samurai Ryūha?
like the itto-ryu?
training in this place seems like an incredible experience, I loved watching it! the katana that sensei uses is bigger, it looks like a nodachi. that's right?
Konnichiwa Sensei 🙇♂️ cool Video 🙇♂️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Dear Shogo, I was wondering if you could maybe do a video about a comparison between a iaito and a shinken. It would be interesting to see the differences.
Please Shogo san, more videos on your shakuhachi training please!?
I'd love to see a video abut the Burakumin class in Japan celebrating their rights movement. My mom was a high school foreign exchange student in the 70s and we think we're going back to visit her old host family soon. It'd be nice to see you talk positively about the changes that have happened in Japan since then.
the way i feel about it is that its meditation but with your entire body from the moment you start until you finish and that should be the point of every martial art. a complimentary exercise to life itself no matter what life throws at you, even if ofc you need to learn other skills also to handle life. but like he said it can also be a spice to life to make it feel more exciting. if you have trained martial arts well it can even help you with mundane but difficult tasks like a dreaded phonecall or a traffic incident and no i dont mean to do violence but to have a clear and calm mind.
Finally 😭
Outstanding 😎🍵💋
I will be in Japan visiting family soon and there is a slight chance I might come. 👍👍👍
Someone could actually make a pretty good beat @ 15:20 - 15:25.
Shogo's speech becomes sexier when he's been fencing
I agree with your statement on sustainability creating a safe space for cultural things to survive. I know in the USA people like free but more people see value in a product they pay for. I don't know if it's the same in Japan.
Umm... Can you do a video on the nagamaki (it's my favourite type or variation on katana.😅) i want to learn more history about it.
Kuden: while doing one of these training elements, remember the lessons of the other two. Learned this from my Batto-do instructor.
I am in Melbourne, Florida US- I have been following your channel for quite some time. I don’t have any local schools nor the funds to pay for virtual ones - I saw a sheet of Kata that you trained in. Where could I please get this information ? I will google after watching the rest of your video but I am very interested in learning. Thank you for your videos !
Hello ,Sir ! Could u make video about japanese single bevel kitchen knives ? Im mainly intrested usage and history. Its very hard to find info about usba technics beside katsuramuki. Yanagiba u find over of internet but other single bevel knives ,little to none
Twenty years ago I was for a few months, in a Ju-Jitsu school,
Hi Shogo, long time sub of your channel, I have finally moved to Tokyo a few months ago, would you recommend the Tokyo branch of the dojo please?
This is a wonderful system. Traditional yet innovative. No chances your instructor makes online courses for his art for those overseas😅?
Hey I've just have an idea, how about a Shougo x Tenshin Ryu cross-over too :P
I've been trainng Tenshin Ryu for sometime, I would love a cross-over
The instructor's paradox as I had heard it from an old T'ai Chi Ch'uan master c. 1988: Before the student is ready to learn, the teacher will not get through to him or her; when the student finally gets it, the teacher is superfluous. My own take on this is "I cannot teach you anything, that is, I cannot make you learn, but you as a student can learn anything when you are ready to discover it." As a teacher, my job is to act as a shepherd, letting you learn while keeping you pointed in the right direction on the path.
Wow! Amazing! Thank you for sharing and what you do. Founder/Instructor of CHI TAO Self-defense teaching Law as in law enforcement Rapid River, Michigan.
I wanted to ask are there any old samurai or shogun laws that have survived and are still used to this day in Japan
shogo why do samurai say: Ey Ey Ooooh! and when is it used too
Hello Shogo! what's your opinion on people using unsharped katana as a replacement of traditional iaito for iaido practition?
nice ,but i came to see you perform the Kuzuryūsen
I have a question about the tsuka what is the name of liquid that the tsuka maker use to lacquer the handle? Pls i really want to know
I can understand why some of the kata would be different between men and women. But why is the bowing with the katana different?
Just culture, no exact practical reasons.
What type of katana would you use for combat training ?(with a dumny or something like that)
I have a question, how do I tie a sageo?
What are the different sizes of katanas? I tried searching it but it only told me about completely different swords.
