  • Kanzaki Masaru Sensei and his students demonstrating Shojitsu Kenrikata Ichi-ryu Katchu Batto-jutsu during the 42nd Nihon Kobudo Embutaikai held at the Nippon Budokan on February 3rd, 2019. The event also commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Nihon Kobudo Kyokai.
    Shingyoto-ryu iwas founded in 1682 by Iba Hideaki on the basis of the Hon Shinto-ryu school. The name refers to the relationship between the heart or spirit (shin), the form (gyo) and the sword (to). It teaches kenjutsu, with techniques of long (odachi), short (kodachi), two sabers (nitto) as well as techniques of iaijutsu, battōjutsu and naginata (halberd).

    Context:
    Battojutsu is a Sword-style that focuses on unsheathing attacks with sharp Katana. Usually the movement only lasts up to 3 strikes after which you resheathe.
    You may have heard of the similar Iaijutsu, the main difference being that Iai practitioners train with a blunt sword.
    The demonstration is from a particular school of Battojutsu called 'shojitsu kenrikata ichi ryu' (ryu usually referring to school, style). Each school or style is different in focus and teaches forms differently. A particular school can have several actual schools teaching it though.
    The style of armour they wear is called dō-maru (I think, can't quite tell which exactly it is from this distance) and is a traditional japanese armour in use between the 11th and 18th century. It is designed around infantry combat and the relatively low metal content make it lighter and easier to move in than other armours in use at the time. It's also cheaper.
    The demonstration they make is phantom combat which is a training style that uses an imaginary opponent rather than a real one. The vast majority of Iai and Batto training is phantom combat. Especially in the case of Batto for obvious reasons.
    At the same time, phantom combat allows you to focus on yourself and helps you understand the complexity of each movement. Honestly, after a while, it becomes a sort of meditative exercise.
    Each set of movement they perform is a set routine called a form or 'kata' and katas will usually be learned in succession to form a complete set.
    If you see something like '42-style this or that' that usually refers to the amount of katas in this set. Each school can have multiple sets with different complexities though.
    Every kata here is aimed at killing an opponent which is why you see them stabbing into the ground to finish the opponent of each time before re-sheathing. Most styles don't make the killing aspect quite as obvious these days though.
    The jumping on one foot is to concentrate the force of the attack into one point. Don't ask me if it actually works, I'm not a practitioner.
    That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to ask if you're unclear about something or to add on to this/correct me.
    I'm not an expert though so take all of this with a grain of salt.

    @JC-uz3ey 2 роки тому +58

    Let me explain: The students go through the various kata of drawing and striking an opponent, then sheathing their sword. The difference between batto-jutsu and the more commonly known Iai-jutsu is that batto-jutsu focuses on cutting and uses a sharp sword, while Iai focuses on the repetition of form, more like a set of moves that one goes through and uses a blunted blade that does not cut.
    The reason why the forms seem slightly off in this video is because this is performed by youths (save the teacher on the right) who are relatively new to the katas. Hope it clears up some questions some might have.

    One of the few ryuha that still does demonstrations in full yoroi (armour). Most of these kata/techniques seem less-than-entertaining because we're not seeing the context. For instance, one particular kata focuses on apprehending/subduing/killing a fugitive in the dark. It's really difficult to convey the intensity of that scenario and those like it in a giant, lit-up training hall.
    That said, their techniques are unique and inventive, and while this is not the very best demo I've seen of the ryuha, I remain a fan.

      Yes, there are modern Kenjutsu/Iaijutsu/Battojutsu still in existence.
      This one is unique; you're not going to find an obscure ryuha like this taught anywhere outside of Japan.
      MJER and MSR are two of the most popular for iai, and can be learned outside Japan.
      The oldest extant school of Japanese Martial Arts is "Tenshinshoden Katori Shinto-ryu". It's coming up on 900 - 1,000 years of unbroken lineage.

Aka : a polearm, it's just not used as much in this day and age, if a full force strike is swung with a pole arm the intent is to hit with the bladed portion so blocking the shaft would be easier giving you much more room between you and the weapon's head. But we're it full force once again the blocking technique used can also allow for parrying the weapon or redirecting the attack, multiple opportunities are made with the Iaijutsu techniques more than one in a modern day would expect and polerms while heavy are way lighter than one would also expect

    A interesting note, most of these techniques were developed after the height of actual sword combat and during the period
    Where the state tried to out law the sword people who still practiced Shinto made a case that it was a part of their heritage as Japanese people and created these katas as an art form. While the moves are on hundred percent deadly strikes they are not likely the techniques you would use in battle . These katas were designed around meditation, preservation of tradition, and preservation of the sword. Remember swords at this time would cast as much as a house and were passed down for many generations. Just an interesting not from a sword fighter that has spent years trying to uncover practical techniques for sword fighting

    • @estebangrafeuille9111
      @estebangrafeuille9111 3 роки тому +11

      that movement is called Chiburi. Though the chiburi doesnt actually work IRL. this move appeared during the Edo period (or period of peace) where the samurai didnt had to fight that much, so as a lot of warriors do, they became something like philosophical figures and that reflects on the simbolism in the different katas. i think the move is there to make the practitioner think for a moment of the damage they can cause (since the blade is now soiled with blood) as a way to reflect about your life as a warrior and the death that is ever present

    • @enby_kensei
      @enby_kensei 3 роки тому +10

      I'm just repeating what everyone else said, but Japanese sword steel is generally way too porous to actually shake blood off. In this style, it looks like their chiburi is a pantomime for holding their sword while their servant wipes the blood off for them. A lot of samurai would bring a servant to carry their polearms or other supplies with them to battle.
      Most Japanese swords aren't any more special than other Asian blades. The only thing about the katana or tachi that makes them special is the culture built around them.
