Huh? Authenticity you seek? Start with horseriding and archery, jiujitsu, and most of all the cultural context. But all that is far beyond weebs.

Practice brings great consolation in stressful times. Keep at it and the Katana will become a close friend. 😊

This is why I enjoy practicing Japanese sword arts the most by far, even though I prefer European swords and combat styles. They teach attention, precision, calmness, steadiness and deliberation so well.

I prefer Japanese swordsmanship because the swords are more beautiful and really works of art. I am from England and would say our way is more like being a butcher, the Japanese way is more like a surgeon. Also the armour plays a big part, Japanese are more manoeuvrable making it more like a deadly dance! Just my opinion! Each to their own. Take care. Stay safe 🙏

@@KateJohn2013England European swordsmanship is definitely not about "being a butcher" it's every bit as elegant, surgical, and disciplined as Japanese swordsmanship, there are plenty of ugly Katanas out there and plenty of beautifully crafted European swords and vice versa, Japanese armour didn't evolve like European armour. Honestly comparing the two (Japanese vs European) is unfair, a Samurai was essentially the equivalent of a knight, knights and Samurai usually had expensive, very well made gear, and were highly trained, so comparing a Samurai to a common infantry soldier isn't fair, of course the Samurai is better, but compared to a European Knight they aren't inherently better or worse in any way. you can Just say you like Japanese swordsmanship, you don't have to crap on European martial arts, or even dislike it all, you can just like what you like.

@@lucasfv1357 The thing is, HEMA training is structured completely differently. It's taught like any sport or art in Europe, which I'm not saying is bad, but compared to that, Japanese arts put extreme emphasis on the abilities I listed above already beginning with the rituals. And I think the rituals make up the biggest part of that.

Its all in the feet, and wrists. "Iado", as my instructor Darrell butchered it, taught me a lot about form, technically perfect form, and "good" form. Its a subschool MEANT for perfectionists, but when its bokken-knockin' time, the aid its knowlege provides an aggressive and decisive mindset and benefits to one's initiative, as well as, perhaps surprisingly enough, grappling. At at 2 crucial ranges and when kneeling or sitting. Reccomended for any HEMA man, Traditionalists who revere the aesthetic AND combative spirits intimately woven into the daily discipline, or any fencer that wishes to supplement existing skill with the fullblooded beauty of the Classical Japanese arts and their rich legacy.

now i'm motivated

Very good teaching. Your wisdom lies in the stillness and the subtlety within the economical of movements. Watching your teachings gave me the answers to battoujutsu that I am searching for. Thank you. 🙇🙇🙇

Thank you for taking your time to teach us, I'm just getting started in Iaidō and looking forward to learn batto jutsu so this video was really helpful!

Recently started studying kendo and iado. I know your channel will help greatly 💯

You have a unique technique. Thank you for sharing your skills to the world! I'm learning here.

Wonderful in every way-your technique is perfect, your teaching is the highest excellence-thank you for sharing

thats some of the fastest noto ive ever seen. really impressive!

I took Kendo for 2 years but when I see this it makes wish I practiced with a real sword. So much respect for these type of arts.

very good. I like that you went over very simple steps so I could understand each of your movements. When I was learning Won Hwa-do, we started with how to walk, breathing, and coordinating our movements to keep our head and spine stable. I got the black belt.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This Katana is very much like what I purchased, perfect handling and feel of the blade that is clay tempered! Great rendition of using it and awesome form!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

Love your videos! Keep up the great work! All of your movements are amazing!

What great beauty and finesse on retrieving your Katana in and out , and also a big shout out to the person video recording you he or she does a superb job in showing every angle , for us to learn from you Great Maestro.

Excellent you have taught me and I thank you regards David kenjutsu practitioner since 1968 I'm now 70 yrs old and still learning from you today . May you live to 120 yrs old a saying of my people in Israel .

Hello. I enjoyed the video very much. I think Learning such discipline, would be good. Unfortunately for me, I am going through treatment for pancreatic cancer, and have no strength to speak of, and tire quickly. I have great respect for the discipline you exhibit. I think, that in order to perform such movements as you demonstrate, your mind must be clear of any conflicts, or cares. You must have a calm, clear mind. Thanks again.

While Kazu demonstrates a deep and profound respect for his historical roots, to say he is among the last few Japanese men that value their ancestry and masculine identity is a little bit of a stretch. With all due respect to you and to Kazu Sensei, I would ask that you not take this as a personal affront to you, but nothing more then what it is, anothers opinion. I would agree with you that Kazu sensei is as much a spirit of the katana as he is a Sensei.

I recently bought my first Kuro Setsuhen katana. It's a bit on the budget side, so Im not sure if it has anything to do with blade chipping off the inside of the Saya near the Koiguchi if my Noto is not perfectly angled or are all Katana's like that?

very informative. thank you!

Thank you for your instructions. I really hope to visit the shrines when I was in Tokyo. Maybe next time.

It is a honor to be able to view your Batto, and Noto, Thank you sir.

Konichiwa Kaz, Thank you for uploading your educational videos! They are very perspicuous and your English grammatic is also very good! I subscibed immediately and i am very curious to see what else is on your channel to learn. Best regards from the Netherlands.

Thanks again Kaz. Your speed at 50% playback is necessary to keep up with your excellent form. I had to quit practicing for a while as balance was and is an issue. But now I am inspired to work through it and overcome. I really love Noto and Batto discipline. Thank you very much. You remind me of me some years ago, pretty fast and balanced through several sports. I am 70 now and happily customize all types of Samurai swords, especially my swords of choice for Laido, several Ko-katanas. I now have around 35 knives and am attached to each of them like children, blondes and smart dogs! It would be nice to send you some pictures for your opinion. They are each "one of a kind" from original wrappings, creative paint, hardware, as in custom Habachis and Menukis. Let me know if you are interested. Thank again Sir. Mike, N. California
