what are you talking about? #1 you wouldent wear a Japanese katana for self defence against thieves #2 you wouldent hide your katana under your haori. #3 especially not under your haori on your back where you cant possible draw it if needed.. this is how it should be.. #1 a person wearing a katana was most likely a samurai who wouldent need to worry for thieves due to respect and social status. #2 you would wear your katana with pride not hide it with shame if you wanted to have a concealed weapon it would be a tanto or similar. #3 the Japanese katana was worn by the hip its a long sword and need equaly long drawing motion to unsheathe and since its a curved blad its a perfect slashing motion aswell if unsheathed side ways and was often worn in pair with a wakizashi. so you cant wear it on your back.. EXTRA #4 a Shirasaya was often a "hidden" sword made to look like just another stick or cane and wouldent have as much meaning as a the katana and could easly be disposed of...

i was looking for how to tie the saya wrapping around a karate belt or any belt etc LOL

[semanticssimple]

considering the length of the sword, how do you get it out of the sheath from behind your back?

This just shows the huge problem we have with unqualified martial arts instructors in the US. They are everywhere and they are teaching absolute garbage to people paying them money to learn the real thing. Those poor fools just throw away their money at teachers like this.

This dude has been watching too many ninja movies! Besides him tying the tachi to his back the next level of comedy was watching him stuffing the leather straps through the obi. He obviously doesn't know anything about a tachi as it would not be inserted into an obi, rather, hung using the leather straps he was trying to stuff in the obi. On top of it all, how do you think you'd draw on someone with that strapped to your back?

So I bought two wooden swords one eBay for a cosplay and they came but simple nothing wrapped or anything, I wonder how I can wrap them with the lace giving it a katana look (oh and there both black) and how to find a material that will hold around my (lower) back and not shake while walking you know?

That isn't a katana. It's a tachi... 5

He didn't even put the sword on his back....I call cap for this video

A fine display in total ignorance of iaido and the katana.

This person, imposter knows nothing about the Katana. He made several basic grave errors. It is preposterous to wear the sword with such belt and fashion ignoring the cords in the scabbard and more absurd to try to carry in the back as he erroneously instructs.

Baka!!!

Sir, just sell your sword or give it to someone who can take care or use this sword properly. So you no need to teach this stupid sword self defense or teach it like a action movies.

Is this a joke?
If not then, it seems like, this person is just making stuff up because (as with the woman from the same school who talked about swords in another show video) it is LITERALLY not possible to do ANY serious study of Japanese swords and get this much wrong!

There is no “Sageo” on your sword I wanna know how to do it with a sword that has a “Sageo.”

[LoudNothing]

Isnt that a tachi sword? Shouldnt the blade go down?
