Lovely video and great idea. Need to do same with my parents now

Nice story

The first Kay is so basic and fundament that it amazes me how wrong and weak their understanding is! Do these cronies ever take the time to question the practical merits of what they are doing, I think not!

Humorously dubious, not one kata has been presented for its principal merits, mere ritual!

Old frogs with ninja turtle pedantic delusion, True Iaido this is not!

Never have I seen so many assumed to be experts with such silent swords, the ninja might be impressed but no true Iaidoku!

More of the Federations pedantic fantasy choreography!

The federations notion of Iai-do is nothing more than pedantic choreography!

Excellent camera work... Who doesn't love a good shaky cam.

Not seen several of those forms before David, any info on them at all?

Hey David Hickey, I featured this video in my "All sports. One video, each sport" playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLsjYkd6fRiB6ay7ycFVZ6VNiyrwgdFiu-.html. Such a cool video! Thank you for sharing

The lady on the far left is performing a very pure Harusuke-ha MJER. In fact, her style looks a lot like Atsumi Hatakenaka-sensei. She performs Iwanami just like Hatakenaka and Yamamoto Harusuke; i.e, without the huge step backward with the left foot, and the step forward into the tsuki. Even her noto looks a lot like Hatakena-sensei. Given that there are likely no more than a few people alive who teach this rather direct version of Harusuke-ha, I bet my money this lady is one of Hatakenaka-sensei's students.

I think the senseï on the left back is Takahashi senseï. I meet him on april, a great and nice senseï.

Great videos my friend..just started Iaido this month...And im really love it..are your also practisner of znk style? greetings from netherlands!

Do you think they are all using shinken?

Well done that man :) I must say your Tsuki kage was tasty :)

Hickster by a whisker. It was a good close fight, and could have gone either way because I think we're all doing differently flavoured iai

Who won the match?

Although his moves are very mild and elegant you can sense the meaning of ''Ki Ken Tai Ichi'' in every kata he performed. Thank you fo the upload.

Many thanks!

Closest to the camera is Horie(堀江)Sensei, back left is Nagai(永井) Sensei. Hope this helps.

You are correct. I ran out of batteries though for his koryu taikai. I have his opening ceremony performance of he seitei kata though (see my other uploaded videos)

YAMASAKI MASAHIRO SENSEI SENTADO AL FONDO...? O ES MI IMAGINACIÓN?

Ono sensei won the Hakone Taikai in May 2013 at his first attempt

Great to see Honda Sensei on film. Wow!

Thank you for posting, great to see Honda Sensei at the Taikai.

Thanks for posting David. Its always great to watch that Nukitsuke of Honda senseis ;)

Thanks Andy

It's Kaminosono Sensei, Jodo 8th dan also from Suigetsukai, Yano Sensei's dojo.

Very nice!

No problem, there are plenty more to come. Re Chris's video, I missed both his embu and his grading (I had a day of temples instead of watching the eighth dan gradings!), so that wasn't my video. I wouldn't mind a look at it though, so if it turns up again please remember to post it as a response :)

Much thanks for these, including Chris Mansfield's eighth dan attempt which I notice you removed.

Good, nice steady pace, well done

Go on Dave kick some ass !!!
