How to Spin Sheath a Katana #Shorts

*This is a way that I was taught as an iaido trainee, and there are different methods depending on the ryuha style.

First, hold the katana in front of you. You spin the katana in your left hand using your right hand. After spinning, you bring your right hand near your left shoulder as you make a fist.

Hit the open space on the handle with your right fist, which is the movement intended to remove the blood off the blade. Hold the handle with your right hand reversed, and grab the entrance of the scabbard with the left hand you let go.

Let the katana naturally spin down using its own weight, and when the katana reaches the scabbard, start sheathing.

However, beginners may drop their swords, so it’s recommended to practice with an iaito (training blunt katana) instead of a real katana.

As friendly as you act and sound, looking at your face while you are doing the stuff is actually pretty intimidating. Looking like a true samurai 💯

[iang]

Remember: Try not to stab yourself by missing the sheath.

[saintlifter]

Oh no I slipped and did a sepuku my bad

[jankuraido]

I practiced it with my newly sharpened Katana, It's effective! It really feels like I'm just cutting a pizza made out of my fingers🙂

[Ensaima]

*accidentaly cuts my hand, feet, finger, head, jupiter*

[WizardOfOss]

No limbs were harmed during making this video.

[GREATLFG]

Vergil doin it one handed: "you think you stand a chance?"

[derfreisi]

Ah I love this Chiburi and noto. It has so much style

[animeonepiecenarutopokemon]

I just learnt how to cut using the katana and Japanese history from this channel which was superb

[KyrieFortune]

Finally, I can become the storm that it's approaching

[vex_mistaken]

crazy how something so simple can look so elegant

[Rattle]

Thanks for the proper etiquette of spinning the katana into the sheath, Shogo itoko!

[angelhurtado]

for all the weebs out there, this the only use for reverse grip

[ripplr]

Japan having a Kata for everything is truly amazing. I love how stylish everything looks with a Kata.

[venjixvirus]

The martial arts surrounding the katana are so so so cool. The first time I saw Kendo being practiced irl it did something to me. This concentration and focus you have on your face is the same thing i saw in the trainers face that made me want to learn!

[cloudshifter]

I love how it slides into the sheath like butter.

[blacksnapper]

Yooo I can just imagine shogo being a side character in ghost of Tsushima and doing this at the end of a fight
