Thank you. I have just started Iaido, and your video has been a great help. There are so many subtle moves, which are so easy to miss when being shown. This has broken them all down nicely. Again, thank you.

Excellent video! I just love your teaching style and humor. Still feel a bit sorry for the assistant who got slayed after trying to grab your sword :p

It's a necessary sacrifice for the pursuit of knowledge 🤭

Nice to see that both of our MSR basics are exactly the same only difference I am being taught in Canada.

I believe MSR has the largest number of students and mostly from the ZNIR or ZNKR organization. So it should be pretty similar. I've seen one very different MSR. Even the way the noto is different.

Thank you for this, this answers so many questions for noto. I’m newer to iaido, and this will help me so much

Thank you sir!

I have seen styles where they move the sword subtly and instead the saya moves forward to meet the tsuba, and when they get together, the whole katana moves back to the obi, to me, that one looks elegant

Would be pretty cool to see it too

My instructor teaches from the MSR curriculum as well. I grabbed my iaito and checked a few points against the video.

oh? 😯 i suppose this video was pretty old i need to update it at some point

I enjoyed the video, im primarily interested in the different techniques between styles. I've been doing Toyama Ryu, and we have some pretty big conflicts with your technique. I'd be interested in hearing your style's reasoning. The 3 big differences i think would be the angle of the sword during noto, the grip on the tsuka and the grip on the koiguchi (sp?) In my style, during a chiburi/noto the sword blade and saya are pointed up(similar to the draw position) and the grip (while not a deathgrip) is still maintained steady(and not directly mentioned the tsuka is pointed towards the opponnent usually directly in front). The reasoning behind the two is so that while sheathing if an enemy were to attack, the tsuka is pointed directly at the enemy and the blade can be drawn and cast in a downward strike with gravity at the attacker. The goikuchi grip i dont think was ever really focused on heavily, but from personal practice i usually have my pointer finger and thumb right at the edge of the saya, we draw the blade in almost the same, using the web of the finger, but with your method i feel it would be a much higher risk of getting cut, especially using a shinken. I only use the webbing of the hand to feel the back of the blade, once the tip slides off it falls into the saya. I've seen many students guide the blade with a finger but i feel it opens them up to getting a nasty slice if they miss. Not to mention putting extra moisture on the blade and rusting it. I'd be interested to hear your take on these differences. Maybe we have differences we can learn from. Regardless, i liked the video and your technique is very smooth. Thanks for the upload.

Sorry I don't know why KZread didn't notify me of your comments, missed it till now. Its a long one 😅 but I'll answer the noto first atleast - I haven't no definitive proof but I believe the reasoning why we noto horizontally is because it comes from the Muso Shinden Ryu koryu style - and being one of the contributors of seitei it's probably a way to teach sayabiki control

@atomsk6316

@@NamazuRyuSaiken thanks for the reply! Saiyabiki control is a big learning point in Toyama Ryu as well. After thinking on it a bit the horizontal noto has the same potential to strike in suihei as the vertical noto has to mako. Its interesting to see different styles interpretation and implementation of their arts. If you're interested I can share some videos.of.our style.privately so we can compare and discuss. Regardless keep up the great videos and promoting the art =D

A good clear video for Noto. Love the little "fight sequences" 😂 Also enjoyed the last tip. I practice Eishin ryu and for us all of these principles are the same, only we do the noto vertical as opposed to horizontal as I'm sure you're aware of. However I believe especially for Seitei that most if not all of this is applicable. Thanks for the video.

@NamazuRyuSaiken

🤔 hmm we just need to keep sheathing slowly and practice to not move the fingers, it's psychological and discipline I think

explained very well, all clear, not easy to do. good! thnx!
