The 3 Styles of Samurai Swordsmanship🙏🏽

[connorperrett]

This man is the Platonic form of "While you were partying I studied the blade."

[alittlepuertoricanboy]

Kenjutsu = Fencing with the sword outside the sheath

Kendo = Modern sport fencing based off of old kenjutsu, with armor

Iaido = Modern sword cut drawing, based off of old iaijutsu/battojutsu, but done more for moving meditation

[Ninjamohawk]

iaido is one style of what I was VERY briefly trained in, in a college class. Swordfighing styles across the Earth's geography is as fascinating as it is logical.

The way this man swung the Shinai was diabolical.

Iaido: what should my mindset be before, during, and after engagement?

Kenjutsu: What should I do, really, during engagement?

Kendo: Here are some bamboo swords and armor; fight!

this guy is basically what mini katana could've been, not just a weeb talking abt anime while showing their anime katana

Thanks for the breakdown. I got a little worried but, you have it down. I can respect you without judgement. Please keep on the martial artist path.

Mmmm... I hold 4th Dan in Kendo and practice Iaido as well. Our sister club practice traditional kenjutsu in addition . Although well intentioned, this video is misleading . I do not believe you are a "trained practioner". I believe you are doing your own thing with little to no guidance from a reputable teacher. However, I believe your heart is probably in the right place . So, for others visiting, I'd recommend you look to other examples for demonstration of these arts/ disciplines so you may better understand them. That all being said, I applaud the enthusiasm, but suggest you seek out an instructor / club thats affiliated under a recognised governing body. Funnel your passion into a more constructive channel. Particularly if you intend to speak in the public domain with any kind of authority on these arts. Best of luck, I hope you find your way.

I was looking for a clear concise comparison and contrast. Awesome work. Thank you!

Can you show us a tutorial on the amazing katana spin-sheath with the iaito you did? I would love to see that

[johnjr]

[toshihirokanayama]

For some reason, I love how he also uses his left hand

0:03 - Kenjutsu move 1
0:05 - Kenjutsu move 2
0:07 - Kenjutsu move 3

As someone who has done kendo for about 2 years you could work on your form a bit 😅 but your explanation was really good 👍

[saipatil]

Sheathing a Katana is badass things bro🔥

[GamingBeFly]

Ive tried to learn Kenjutsu and Iaido mainly. A lot of strikes in Kenjutsu, can be blended with Iaido, and the overlap doesn’t cause any issues once you adapt to it.

the lamps on the ceiling are fearing for their life

[JoshyBoy]

I don’t do any Japanese martial arts I do hema but it’s so hype for me seeing a fellow left handed swordsman

[yogimastatarzan]

[bzleo]

And all of this was done with that low ceiling. Skills
