Your Sensei must be confident in your skills. This both shines on your skilllevel aswell his teachings.

Glad you asked your sensei before you taught these basic techniques. Shows that you have respect for him and you take your swordsmanship very seriously.

I have a nice condition WW2 type 98 sword that was handed down to me, a recent shoulder injury had the doctors wanting me to do exercises similar to your teachings here, I have combined my sword with your teachings and what the doctors want me to do and things are starting to heal up now, best wishes from England.

no, just use your broom stick, you can already do that

I myself do Iaido and almost at 1st Dan the fact that you are teaching online is amazing you've already beat my goal of teaching thousands in real life once I get a dojo

Pull and push upon drawing the sword and push and pull when cutting. When you get it right, it is fluid motion. My sensei was brutal, but he left me with very important lessons. I owe him a debt of gratitude.

Thank you for the great tutorial. I have a "katana" hand forged but made in China(so not a real katana). It is very sharp so I get a little nervous with it. I may need to get a laido specific sword for practice It was great to watch your instruction with Kazu and Tomoko(Great job!). I hope to start training at our dojo in the near future. Love the videos!

I’m going to start with a wooden katana and move to the real thing

I always thought the drawing/sheathing part of a Katana looked so cool and graceful. Especially the sheathing part. Thank you for sharing this, Shogo-san.

Instructions unclear, floor cut in half

Sharing knowledge is everything

On uchi-chiburi, the reason why the blade seems like it may cut Kazu's hand is because his left leg/hip needed to move back. Like Shogo demonstrated, drawing and sheathing require complimentary movements with both hands and hips. Many mistakes can be corrected by slowing down and focusing on the fundamentals.

I've always been able to draw my sword pretty smoothly but I always had trouble with sheathing it until I saw one of your older videos that talked about the process. once I learned about the proper hand placement it instantly became so much easier to the point where I could sheath it without looking after just a few tries though it's not completely smooth yet, still need to practice.

I’m training right now with a wooden katana because I’m too young for a real one. I really liked how to put on the Hakama, it helped a lot! My favorite attacking choice is the sideways.

This is incredibly helpful! I had trained in Kendo for a year in a dojo, however my sensei was...also new to using a sword, and I've largely been training myself ever since, with Bokken's. I recently bought a proper, real katana to train with, and I felt there were a few missing things with my form, things that other sources online have entirely breezed past, which you covered! I feel far more confident in training with more proper form now!

It's so cool! I'm from Russia, and I'm practicing with a katana, your lessons are a positive charge and smiles, thank you sensei!

I'm from Philippines and I studied in Japan when I was around 8-10 years old. And I have always been fascinated about Japanese weapons, particularly the Katana. So I am currently watching this now because I managed to forge my own using Spring steel. I know it's not Tamahagane steel but I will buy a real Katana soon. Thank you for the basics Shogo-san ❤️

Great video Shogo and company! I really enjoyed this one.

Learning basic Iaido Training techniques is really amazing! I would definitely give it a try and using a katana is truly wonderful! Thank you so much for a great tutorial Shogo!

Love the energy and cheerfulness of you, great video

OMG I love how you can actually point out the details of the movements that are crucial, you have literally prevented me from doing all those matched moves THAANK YOU you are truly amazing at explaining :DD🔥🔥🔥🔥

Shogo‼️ thank you for making such excellent videos for us.

Thank you for all your encouragement and wisdom. I hope your hands are doing better. I started following you for the information you gave on living in Japan and now am into swordsmaship... thank you!

Super helpful! I'm new to Iaido as of this year and it's been a wonderful addition to my life. Unfortunately there are no schools for me so videos like this are essential to my training! Thank you for everything you do and your amazing channel. :)

Thank you for these lessons!

Thank you so much Shogo! Just got my first katana and was so excited to do this training with you!

This is very therapeutic, and relaxing. Let the blade do the work. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

Thank you so much Shogo

very humble, much appreciated!

You have a great personality for training. Very clear, precise but still fun.

It’s awesome to hear you sought out permission for these demonstrations. It shows that your instructor has faith enough in you and is happy to help you spread interest in this martial art!

Such a great video, I really had fun trying it at home!

I've fallen very much in love with Katanas and after discovering your channel I wanna say thanks for inspiring me to learn and properly use a katana. Thank you Shogo!

Thank you very much for your patient and skillful training. I will look forward to seeing more.

Thank you very much Shogo😀

I love iaido and have been training in jikkiden for 2 years now. Hoping to take my first test early next year. It is an honor participate in this powerful and beautiful part of Japanese history and culture! Great video!

Thanks for the tutorial.

This was absolutely perfect!

All of your videos are very informative and enlightening. It's always fun to learn about one of my favorite types of blades, and more about Japan.

I've started taking Iaido and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much for your content!

this is an absolutly awesome channel, thx

thanks one more time, Shogo and team!

Thank you shogo you have helped me improve my swordsman’s skills. I have gone to you for everything you need to know about katanas.

I’ve been training in iaido for about a year and a half now and it is so interesting to see the differences in the styles such as the sheathing and compare them

どうもありがとうございます 🤩 Thank you for making Iaido more accessible! I'm happy that your sensei is ok with you showing some skills online. You make an excellent sensei, you explain everything clearly and you make it fun! I'm one of the many saying to you that I don't have an iaido dojo to go to so your videos are a blessing! 🙏🏼‍ 🙏🏼‍ 🙏🏼‍

thank you Sensei, great video

This is so helpful. Thanks for sharing

sweet tutorial, training together and having fun.I enjoy it

This was amazing. You are an awesome teacher with an excellentr elationship with your students. You made them feel relaxed. Beautiful energy all round.

I’ve wanted to take it for a while thanks for the tips

This is very informative! So much I've learned from watching your videos. I really appreciate your simplicity in teaching!

Excellent, and informative.

Love this channel.

Deadly aesthetic. Beauty of movements. Fantastic.

My sensei was very proud of me when I was training in judo, karate, akido with some short training on the katana and videos I’ve seen also some movies. Love the last samurai I took that into my training thanks.

This channel is pure Gold!

Arigato,Shogo! Thank you very much for this! Obrigado from Brazil!

Your vids are by far the most educational .

When someone has trained for years and know exactly what they're doing, they make it look easy! Great job. Fun, informative, and extremely detailed

Great energy in your video! Blessings!

Ty for the tutorial, this was interesting to learn, ✨

Thank you so much for the demonstration soon I'll be doing my training with you together.

Just stumbled upon your awesome page and have now seen hours of your content. You’re awesome! Thanks for sharing the content and sharing the care/respect/responsibility that comes with all this. It’s not just a new hobby anyone can pick up and forget about. Picking up a katana something that takes a serious level of dedication and respect. Thank you again, Shogo!

Very informative. The more i watch your brilliant iaido videos the more I want to learn it for myself. It has really hit my curiosity and desire to experience and learn more.

Please continue, I fell in love with this culture and sport😍😍😍

My personal opinion is that you are a brilliant teacher. It's not just about passing information to another. It's also the WAY it's done. Well done.

Your videos are awesome!

Thank you very much. I've had a katana for about three years or so. Before this video came out, I studied another video on sheathing a katana, and I stuck myself a few times before getting the hang of it. Your method is more practical and less painful.

I'm loving it!

I really like this video! I like how you have your friends do the katas and correct them and give tips on what they should be doing. I really think that it helps people learning at home, as most people probably make the same mistakes and / or have the same questions. I'm new to Iaido and your channel, and you have a lot of videos. Could you please recommend some of your videos that are similar to this one on learning Iaido? Thank you!

this is amazing!

Absolutely love this, very informative and very funny 😁
