Mizoguchi-ha Itto-ryu Kenjutsu - 42nd Japanese Kobudo Demonstration (2019)

Naganuma Noriaki Sensei and his students demonstrating Mizoguchi Haito-ryu Kenjutsu during the 42nd Nihon Kobudo Embutaikai held at the Nippon Budokan on February 3rd, 2019. The event also commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Nihon Kobudo Kyokai.

Mizoguchi-ha Itto-ryu Kenjutsu was founded in the early Edo period (ca. 1630) by Mizoguchi Jingozaemon Masanori, who was a student of Ono-ha Itto-ryu's second grand master, Ono Jiroemon Tadatsune. The curriculum of the school consists of five long sword techniques and three short sword techniques, all with an "omote" (outer, surface) and "ura" (inner / more sophisticated) version. As a traditional school of the Aizu clan, established in Fukushima, it is perpetuated in Fukushima Prefecture and its local kendo federation.

This is a really cool Kenjutsu style. I'd love to learn something like this.

[randallpetroelje]

Very formal, maai, the delicate touch with the kissaki, the what first 2-4 inches of the blade. Nice 👍 domo arigato gozaimasu

[tdrow]

This looks like a very practical style....I especially like that they aren't yelling 'yuuup' every strike.

[TheMugen]

Merci pour la partage c’est beau à voir et bien maîtriser. Il y a parfois des ressemblances avec des passage du kendo no kata.

[JustJervon]

I wonder if a underground full contact Kenjutsu fight club exist. That would be crazy to see.

[Druid_Ignacy]

So this is the school that influenced kendo?

[DuplicitousDark]

why is the other guy always losing? :)

形だから流麗に行ってるけど内容はかなりラフプレイ寄りだな
後頭部ガン狙いは流石に広く伝わる武道には成らないわ
