I have always respected obata kaiso for his talent in tameshigiri and aikido. I have always truly considered him a master. However, i always felt that it looks as though he puts needless amounts of force behind his suburi when cutting. it's amazing and quite exciting to see him using subtle, flowing movements. if possible, i respect him more now.
+8th sinner Wow, 5 years ago. So I just read your comment and I just bought a Tameshigiri stand. I have 4 Filipino swords, although 1 resembles a Dan Dao, because it was designed and used by my father's tribe, who migrated to the Philippines from southern China. Anyhow, you mentioned soaking technique. I know that I'm supposed to soak my mat but is there a special way to do it? I want to make sure that I'm doing everything right before I make my 1st attempt at trying it out. They don't seem to be dripping all over the place when I've seen demonstrations. So do you soak it and let some time pass before cutting it? My neighbor has 3 Tamshigiri stands in his backyard, so I could ask him to, but he's not always around.
That was awesome thanks for posting this . What great skill !

Kabutowari? Yeah, that's a thing with him. I don't think he is cutting the same thing we see him cutting, if you know what I mean. Especially suburi.
Some parts of this are quite good. Very few failure. So graceful form! I like this video. I am a student of Shinkendo.
I get the feeling I'll have a whole new respect for this kind of thing when my wannabe katana gets here.
Obata Sensei is truly sui generis. amazing.
Very very impressive.
Aiming a cut at the guy holding the bamboo seems like an unnecessy risk.
That guy holding. The bamboo is brave for letting him cut that close to him
OMFG!!! Free standing Bamboo?! Holy crap...
Tameshigiri - in other words (well when translated into english) means, Cutting TEST.
This is my first time seeing Yukishirosan's technique. He has true merit to be Soke.
Jinsei Shinkendo!
nice vid..thanks...ever see zatoichi???
AMAZING.
FUCKING, AMAZING.

Spoken by one educated by anime swordsmanship, no less.
Yeah, but supposedly he doesn't like to talk about that movie. Don't know why.
O_O
all I'm saying is his son better get all As!!!
bamboo cutting seemed to take more attention and care. why is that?
is that the dude from the first 2 ninja turtles movies
Very impressive
I wish I could cut like that :(
1:03 - 1:21
... that left me quite amazed.
lol, tameshigiri is the test cutting!
This dude was in the first ninja turtles movie!
in a real sword fight a person will not just stand still and let people cut,so this is useless it just show stuff
Poor bamboo.
hahaha
