At slow motion, you can see that, even if the swing is relatively fast, the blade is incredibly steady (not shaking) at the end of a strike. I'm sure most people don't realize how much skills is required in order to do so. Deeply Impressive. EDIT: I watched it again two months later, and I'm still totally blown away by this man's mastery.
Wish I knew which version/style it was I started with but only was at that school for a bit less than a year. And since Iaido was only occassional I only got 1 through 3A hammered into my brain. They never referred to which style. 1 started with a shoulder roll towards your opponent, drawing with a side cut as you finished the roll on one knee. A sweeping block R to L with tip down as you stood into an angle cut downward. This was followed by a rooftop block from rear attack. A right turn with another sweeping block L to R into another downward angle cut, R to L. Turn back 180° and down to a knee with removing blood from blade move. And please forgive my forgetting the Japanese terms. It's been over 20 years and I'm getting old.
It’s not that these are regulated and others are “secret” per se. the Seitei Iaido curriculum was created to make a standardized iaido set for people to train in. Specifically it was created for kendo practitioners to understand the fundamentals of Iai which was also why Seitei Jodo was developed, as it also has a simplified kata curriculum as compared to koryu Jodo. It’s essentially style neutral as much as it can be so that you can train it and easily slot into a koryu iai school and have a good grasp of the basics. Most high level practitioners train multiple styles with the standardized techniques as a baseline that they learned. It makes for an easy entry point since the koryu styles can be so diverse and different. By comparison Seitei is relatively simple with only 12 kata as compared to the dozens of kata you would learn in other styles. It lets you hone your skills and develop your fundamentals without getting bogged down in practicing a bunch of different kata before you know how to hold a katana.

Со спины сидя интересный разворот получился через левый бок. Хотя наверное верно. Если через правый повернуться, то противник может просто руку вынимающую меч заблокировать. За "Сакуру" отдельный лайк! 👍
Это из школы Мусо Синден Рю, там принято всегда разворачиваться через левый бок, где меч, ещё со времён средневековья. Есть ещё, например, школа Рюсин Сëти Рю иайдзюцу, там разворот делается через правую сторону
@Hugh Jaanus Tai Chi is not intended for combat. The combat form is Tai Chi Chuan, which is far from useless. Having been on the receiving end of it, I know whereof I speak.
@Hugh Jaanus yo, Iaido tranee here, for what its worth Iai is not meant to be training you for proper combat. and we are well aware of that, its more meant to develop the full sense of awareness of your body, so that pretty much every action you perform is intentional. these 12 kata's are the standardized version, however they arent all there is for iai, there are kata's specific to certain "koryu" schools. depending on which dojo you join, they will teach you the basic 12 kata's for maybe your first 3-4 levels. but as you reach higher levels, they train you in that schools decended koryu (translated to be "old style", or you could probably say oldschool). koryu usually is the style that got passed down to the instructor who started the school, and since they're older, they're function over form. attacks are faster, the chambering is larger, and its pretty much designed to kill. that being said, you're average koryu tranee is not going to be very useful in a fight without their blade, or if their opponent has a glock or something. because its not really meant for self defence anymore, its more of a tradition kind of thing. part of the training in these arts is accepting your inherent weakness. no matter how skilled you become at defending yourself, you might fall to disease and die young, you might be hit by a stray bullet, you might be part of a natural disaster. you do not expect to be invincible, however you do what you can to the best of your ability, and gracefully accept the outcome, whatever it is. that being said, maybe something like kendo would be more your speed? its the competitive part of the old traditional kenjutsu adapted to modern times. kind of similar to fencing. i think its pretty cool, but im more of a slow pretentious iaido type of guy. either way, hope you have a good day!
The footage is slightly slowed down. It is most pronounced at 3:17 Tsuka-ate. The point of these videos is to show the kata to trainees so they can observe the proper form. He can do it way faster than that, but you would not be able to see properly what he is doing. As a trainee I can confirm that doing it slowly is way harder than doing it fast.
a shame. 5 minutes of ritual, for 1 quick blow. this is the decline of all traditions. the ritual became fashionable and more important than combat in the Tokugawa era (18-19 centuries)
Tokugawa Era began when Ieyasu Tokugawa became Shogun in March 24, 1603 i.e. early 17th century. After Battle of Sekigahara firearms became principle weapons of the battlefield. Before then the bow & spear dominated. Practice of the traditional martial arts in Japan is not training for battlefield combat, but training for physical & moral education - training of spirit & mind. It is not shame. Modern warrior uses most effective combat weapons available - grenade, automatic rifle & Russian shovel. It is progression. Ritual is not simply fashion. Ritual informs & shapes the character & the community.
The fact that you mark Tokugawa era to be 18th to 19th century shows that you know next to nothing about the subject at hand, let alone the art itself.
It is a pity that bushi let the noble way of the arrow and the horse to choose swinging a knife in the wind sitdown. (when someone speak of "decline of traditions" always do it twice)

flawless execution of kata, thank you for the demo.
Discipline, dedication, mastery. Remarkable.
Unbelievably beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing i love iaido its very impressive and beautiful 🎉🎉🎉
Iaido is personaldevelopment pure!
Köszönöm a feltöltést. Egy idős ember. Laci
I only just started watching it but I gotta say, this guy is solid
absolutely amazing 👏
Love the martial form! Good choice of music🥰
I'm just amazed by his dedication, skills & achievements !
Si osserva una grande maestria. Grazie
If you know how heavy a real steel blade is and hold it in sword form, you will see the true quality of long time practicing.
Don't know if it is steel blade or iaïto. The iaïto can avoid tendinitis when hard training and the weight is more balanced near the hands.
Not very. At least not an actual sword that isn't stainless steel mall ninja junk.
He is so calm and focused, impressive! To make the blade cut the air (the woosh sound) is so hard to do!
What time did you hear it? Sorry I couldn't hear because of the theme playing in the background.
Sakura inspira a harmonia e perfeição 🙏

It’s just beautiful….
Yes, flawless indeed.
Perfect balance and control.
If these 12 are the regulated Iaido Kata, I wonder what other secret katas are there.
It’s not that these are regulated and others are “secret” per se. the Seitei Iaido curriculum was created to make a standardized iaido set for people to train in. Specifically it was created for kendo practitioners to understand the fundamentals of Iai which was also why Seitei Jodo was developed, as it also has a simplified kata curriculum as compared to koryu Jodo.

Is this slow motion?
Why have you replaced the sound with music? The sword sounds are an important part of the original video. :-)
En couleur???

It's a standardized kata from AJKF (All Japan Kendo Federation)
Master:-)

Sorry to tell you but your opponent already fled the scene. Is this the normal speed?
Educate yourself before commenting.
No, this is not done at full speed, you ignorant clod. It has been slowed down to provide viewers a chance to observe all the movements fully.
