disappointed, the video title is misleading, the mats were not in armor at all 😜

Don't you guys love it that Shogo is already an experienced swordsman but is humble enough to train from step 1 as a begginer here? That's a real martial artist

It's quite amazing how the teacher 1) identified that Shogo practices Iaido, and 2) which school he is from, simply from the way he sheaths. A very well made, and very educational, video yet again. I am a big fan of your work.

So cool how swordsmen from different schools recognize each other's style by looking at the techniques.

It’s also interesting how alike they are too. You can train in longsword and pick up a katana with little to no drawback. I’m sure some things like drawing and sheathing might be a bit strange to a western fighter. But again essentially they are both long swords

A true master swordsman is humble, and respectful. Shogo was humble enough to train from step one. And indulge the master if the Dojo. Not just for the video, but just respect. And I thought the master did well. Shogo is a true honourable samurai. Thank you.

That was a great observation to drop your weight lower as you go down the mat! I could see that you were focusing extra on your stance with the 2nd mat and the results speak for themselves. He's clearly a good teacher.

Both suits of armor were beautiful! A very difficult choice: the fearsome mempo of Shogo's suit, or the iconic lacquered steel plate of Kazu's? I've seen many depictions of samurai with their sheathed katanas held forward, partway out of their belts. I never understood the significance until the (amazing) instructor explained the history of the position. I'm indebted to Shogo for sharing this!

Finally, last week you made a video about ninja, and now you made video about samurai, finally!!!!!!!

Imagine how strong the samurai were. They had to deal with that weight for incredible long periods of time.

@@SiD19884 Yeah the weight distribution on samurai armour is considerably less generous than a lot of the later European configurations. Apparently the O-yoroi type that was common among the wealthier samurai was so heavy (30kg) that it was only very rarely worn when dismounted.

Shogo, You are constantly adding to my list of things to do when I can get a chance to visit. Thank you for another wonderful video, between this and the Samurai experience, I am really looking forward to go.

The instructor at the end, cutting the already cut end while it's falling! Absolutely insane.

I be love how you remained teachable and humble to the point the instructor had to notice your form in order to know you were experienced in a similar martial art

Can we just appreciate the free education and the humility Shogo showed in his video.

Exact point of Kazu feeling the sheer pressure of his ancestor's spirits watching him 14:46 much love from Turkey

29:23 Wow! That's Miyamoto Musashi's dual-wield style. I know that Miyamoto Musashi is one of the best swordsman in Japan, he's also my favorite samurai as well. Thank you for making a video like demonstrating how to use a katana to slash tatami mats, etc. I also want to learn a Japanese culture from you Shogo! 🇵🇭❤️🇯🇵

I'm now reminded of all my sensei taught me as a teen before he went back to japan after he turned 60, and my kendo club and the kata we do every week.

I am from Serbia i love Japan and Japan history i read Bushido and i love samurai heritage i would love one day to visit Japan and expirience the way of samurai life

When I first practiced tameshigiri it was a full roll. I wore armor as part as my kit (as infantry soldier and private contractor) but never worn Samurai Yoroi. Cutting in yoroi is an experience I still need to try. This is awesome!

Shogo your form is so fluid! I was impressed. You practicing for 6 years has paid off.

This has to be one of the most wholesome comment sections on youtube.

I love the frog artwork, especially the scared one looking at the tip of the blade. 😨🥺

omg that was the best thing on KZread thank you for this it made my day and i know you guys enjoyed it wow thanks you I bow and say thanks

Waiting for the video to go live!

I hope you guys can bring back the soul of Japan with just your videos. You guys have a very tremendous history.

I hope that place NEVER goes out of business the teacher’s face is so happy it makes my heart warm

This video has made my Drawing and sheathing my Katana so much better. Also the tip about pinching the spine of the Katana as you sheathe it is so clutch. Having never been to any classes or anything (mainly cause they don't exist where I live) videos like this that really show proper form on how to do things is so helpful to the self taught.

Thank you so very absolutely much for sharing your experiences in this awesome video! I really have to visit Kyoto! Thank you again 🎉!

Man the master's cuttings are amazing

that dual wielding by the end is so cool

I love learning about other cultures and your channel has been nothing but a treat, Shogo. I thank you for your wonderful videos!

As a hugeeeeee fan of samurai armor history, seeing a place like this that allows one to wear it and perform cutting techniques is truly magical. I've been wanting to gather a large collection of armor for giving free public lectures on the history, form and function of samurai armor across the centuries but this video made me rethink and tell myself, 'I can go bigger than that...' Now, I am going to try my damndest to gather a collection and open a business where people can learn all about these legendary warriors and have fun photoshoots like its the Gempei War or Sengoku Jidai depending on what era of armor strikes their fancy. (O-yoroi or haramaki all the way personally!) Thank you for expanding what my dream could be, Shogo!

i am hawaiian japanse mix . I have never been to japan its a dream for me and i like to learn Iaido training and i have the kill bill katana .

Your channel has got me so excited to visit Japan one day. Please keep doing what you are doing Shogo!!

Definitely one of my favorite videos you've done. Thank you. It was such a gift!

I am deeply thankful that you are showing us these educational and at the same time fun to watch videos. This kind of content is underappreciated nowadays. I hope more people will come across your channel and join in your journey.

You did it ! So proud of you, Shogo ! 😊

I’m currently planning a trip to Japan and I was looking for things to do in Kyoto and I think I’ve found it! Thank you!

This was incredible and eye opening to see how heavy that armor actually is. I dont normally look at videos like this but seeing the way different cultures are i might fly out to japan for a couple of days.

28:17 As armor continued to evolved daggers became more of a highly prioritized weapon to bring in case your main weapon is either lost or damaged beyond use. For example knights, as mail was the main armor before and swords were a primary weapon. But as armor evolved swords slowly became a secondary weapon to use as weapons such as bludgeons and axes became more common to help with armor destruction. I believe Samurai did the same as Katanas stayed by their hips and Naginatas, Yari, Tachi and bows were more of a primary weapon.

At last a video with samurai armor in practice 😎👌 Excellent work, Shogo. It's one thing reading about, and another one, seeing them on.

Do you know Metatron's channel? He has his own set of armour and he uses it in many of his videos, you should check him out. ^ ^

Intersting how he drops the blade behind him. Some schools don't allow that, because it can turn into a hacking motion, it also takes more time to bring the blade forward, or cut again

12:16 That was so clean! You were really nervous for no reason

Thank you for all your very interesting and informative video's Shogo. You both looked AMAZING in your Samurai Armor. i love watching and learning even at my age .

This experience looked amazing. Great video!

I'm planning a trip next year! Please keep showing cool historical events I could attend! Thank you!

I had a friend who practiced medieval sword fight and wearing only a gambeson was really heavy experience.

Thank you for this amazing video as always. I love Japanese culture but above all katana training. I don't do katana training but i would like to come to Japan and train there. So thank you for this amazing video.

Thank you Shogo & Kazu for another enlightening video 😊.

Amazing! Thank you for introducing these new Arts and Content it's really entertaining, definitely try to take that opportunity when the time comes in the future

This was an incredible video and recently I’ve been starting to get more and more deeper into samurai and shinobi and other types of ninjas

That was an amazing display. The armor is so intricate and beautiful. The cutting was very cool as well

I'm absolutely impressed! This is one of the things I invision to do if I manage to visit Kyoto one day. It would be a dream holiday! Must've felt like you could fly after taking of the armor. XD Thx for bringing out such videos so regularly. Arigato gozaimasu Shogo!

This is such a beautiful video! To see those magnificent and MAJESTIC armors blew my mind! They are truly exquisitd! I still can't comprehend how the samurias were able to fight wearing such heavy gear. It's unbelievable and I have an even greater respect for them than I already had. The katanas are also magnificent. Also, love your posture when mat cutting! Thank you for this video!

10:15 , that feels like it's straight outta movie 🔥

Oh man this is the first time I've seen a Yagyu style/derivative move done live! Really cool! I also love living vicariously through your experiences. I felt like a 12 year old otaku again watching you and kazu go through this experience!

I loved watching every step, so cool!

I figured out moves and read up and finally taught classes, in South Africa. It's so cool to see how much I got right, but, the ending was super cool. Cutting a iece of flying tatami and using two swords, probably just like the samurai did, was amazing. I learnt so much. Thank you. Wish I could be there

I am jealous of your experience!! And Shogo san you looked so impressive and menacing in that authentic armor! Sugoi!

always cool to see you guys supporting businesses, place looks very cool, samurai armor always fascinated me as well
