6 Types of Sword Blocking Solo Exercise and Explanation

A key point in blocking and any other move is to maintain your CHUSHIN. When you achieve this, you will be able to really "see" your opponent. It means you see things objectively. In order to see your opponent's breath and movement, you yourself need to have a calm mind and heart.
OK let's begin!

Sensei, thank you very much for this lesson! For the sake of improve visualisation, I would like to see the correspondent strikes that are blocked with each technique. Thanks a lot!

I held a dog off not long ago holding my walking stick in front of me like you do with your Bokken (Chudan). His owners got him before we had to rumble. I don’t know what the dog was trying to do; but it couldn’t get near me; and I was in a good position to defend. Thanks for the lessons!

Very nice, I will need to practice these blocks as we were not taught but Shomen-UCHI and Dou lol

Another excellent video 👍. Although, I kept wondering what strike I would be blocking? So, I guess that would be another video lesson. On a side note, I grew up playing Ice Hockey and always had a stick in my hand that we had to learn how to use correctly. One day as a kid I went to a professional Ice Hockey game and saw a player accidentally get hit in the mouth and lost 6 teeth at once. They had to use a snow shovel to remove the blood off the ice. After watching this video I will practice my blocks and one day know what I am blocking.

[senseiwhite.]

To the Samurai iaido Sensei, . May I ask you this question. Shito, Buddhism is the Katana still taught as the four season's Spring, Sumner, autumn White for winter. Morning meditation.

[kisho]

How distinguish between "parrying", "blocking", and "evading"?

What would be a good website to buy a katana that has global shipping?
