Step On His Sleeve | Musō Shinden Ryu: Ukigumo

浮雲

The opponent sitting next to you tries to grab the handle of your katana. You dodge that and swing the handle toward the opponent to prevent him from drawing. You draw the katana against his chest and push him down against the floor.

Depending on whether you step on the kimono’s sleeve or the armor’s shoulder protection, the way you perform this Kata is different. Seki sensei earlier performed the version of stepping on the kimono sleeve.

"To revive the golden age of Asayama Ichiden Ryu with 7,000 students nationwide"
Asayama Ichiden Ryu was once the number one Ryuha in Japan during the Edo period (1603~1868), with more than 7,000 students throughout the country. Seki Sensei hopes to restore as much of the glory of this era as possible while he himself is the 22nd headmaster. Please help and support us in this endeavor.

Interesting, saw many variations of this Kata. But this is the first time seeing the push like this. My Sensei taught me to apply force by "cutting" the enemy down, by slide my left hand to the Tsuba. Its hard to describe it with words.

[thomaseskelsen]

Good camera shots and editing! The foot work in this video is well showcased. Intricate, yet elegantly simple.

[tyshiddejuremanbey]

"Or you draw at the throat, severing the head, indeed!!!

[alexanderkstrauss]

Love this one ❤great seeing Sensei doing the various ryu kata 🎉

[randallpetroelje]

Cutting the pectoral muscles and also getting to his sword hand is a good way to to break enemy morale let’s just say. It’s not a kill shot, but it will definitely re-think about grabbing your sword.

[DawahTrucker]

Such a beautiful style, such gracefulness in executing the technique, I already realized he's aiming at the head when striking because that's a full swing cut to decapitate.

Shogo San world be possible when the sensei is swinging his body sideways is in order to strike the face of the opponent with the handle while swinging sideways? While stepping on the kimono shoulder is the opponent tries to stroke again I'm sure sensei will have a way to counter while the opponent is in already on the floor because he had cut through the chest.

Loving these shorts on MSR kata. Please keep them coming.

[chocolatedumdum]

Whoaaa. Okay this is a totally different explanation to this kata. Makes more sense to me to be honest.
