- You may have seen images of samurai wearing armor in movies and TV dramas, but you don't know how it feels to actually wear it. At this facility, however, you can experience wearing the actual armor used in the filming of movies and TV dramas. If you love Samurai as much as I do, make sure you experience it when you visit Kyoto!

Cutting that mat in armour was defientively different from doin it without....
Hello my friend I'm very interested in this experience, is there a way to speak to you other then youtube?
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
🙏🙏🙏
Yes,I'm VERY thankful for this!
I love it when Seto-san caught on to this as well
It definitely can help other class mates learn from the higher up's form and even boost their want to learn more
it is know that even masters train the groundings, in every mathial art.
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.
I was very surprised too when he knew which style I belong to! It definitely proves that he is very experienced and skilled✨
@@LetsaskShogo it’s like when an anime character calls you out for holding back
@@LetsaskShogo Thanks for making cool videos!
which minute did he guessed which school he is from?
@@einfachilya6903 It's a long video to go hunt for it but it's the part where it says Eishin-ryu in the subtitles.
So cool how swordsmen from different schools recognize each other's style by looking at the techniques.
26:11 the thought of a samurai gently clapping for you and saying you're awesome is hilarious
Shogo's plan to go undercover and unravel the dojo's secret sword techniques fell apart when the instructor noticed how he sheathed his katana
It is really interesting how different it is from western sword play.
And this instructor was truly amazing.
Yes, he is a very kind and great teacher!
It is really neat. Its completely different, but at the same time its so similar. We all made the same weapons in completely different places because our bodies are the same.
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
I’d love to see if these instructors would let a German come try this with a zweihander. Another longsword but you know BIGGER I think that would be an interesting culture mix maybe even get different people into these arts
@Loki of Asgard if you try and use a katana like a long sword your gonna end up bending or breaking the katana
Shogo, you are 100% responsible for making Japan my first overseas trip 😁 can't wait to be able to travel!
😎😎😎
Same
I swear 😅
What sea you crossin' ?
Sadly I can no longer achieve such as my first oversea trip was to Sweden
But better late than never
I have decades remaining to visit japan still
29:28 OMG I did NOT expect that! he's an incredible instructor. I'm glad I stayed till the end. Thank you, Shogo.
i know right, that was really cool
His niten ichi-ryu was smooth, Miyamoto Musashi would've looked like that in real life. Controlling two swords with different length and weight is hard.
@@aericacio seeing miyamoto musashi in real life would be a terror
A dangerous man
He became zoro fr
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.
👍
10:16
This man is a sharp eyed teacher. It also does your instructors/dojos credit that he could cite their names from watching you sheath once
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.
And the Master with the moves at the end. A true master.
I like how this video already has likes without being posted yet, just shows how much love there is in the community he made.
The following night: Shogo has nightmares of murderous tatami mats chasing him with katanas, crying out for vengeance.
It's the sword-frogs you've really got to look out for.
😱😱😱
🤣❤
I love the frog and the rabbit drawings 🤩
Imagine how strong the samurai were. They had to deal with that weight for incredible long periods of time.
I fight in European armor with my HEMA group. I can say over time and practice you get used to it. A tailored fit can also help distribute the weight but absolutely it is a lot of extra weight.
@@toxi87 but samurai armor is a bit different in a sense a lot of moving flapping armors as well.. in fact i knew it would be heavy but not this heavy.. its just amazing how these guys run around wearing these back in the day..
@@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.
@@SiD19884 That's something I hadn't considered when thinking about it- imagine how bad the various loose plates were when it got windy
The guys with horses got it easy.
The instructor at the end, cutting the already cut end while it's falling! Absolutely insane.
my respect for the samurai just went up about 30 notches. that's really impressive that they were able to maneuver the way that they did in all that armor
Finally, last week you made a video about ninja, and now you made video about samurai, finally!!!!!!!
This looks very cool
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!
Exact point of Kazu feeling the sheer pressure of his ancestor's spirits watching him 14:46
much love from Turkey
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.
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! 🇵🇭❤️🇯🇵
Can we just appreciate the free education and the humility Shogo showed in his video.
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
Shogo your form is so fluid! I was impressed. You practicing for 6 years has paid off.
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!
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
I hope you guys can bring back the soul of Japan with just your videos. You guys have a very tremendous history.
I love learning about other cultures and your channel has been nothing but a treat, Shogo. I thank you for your wonderful videos!
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 🎉!
Thank you for watching! I now work here is the interpreter, so if you’re interested I hope you can make a reservation! www.airbnb.com/experiences/4577764?locale=en
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.
Definitely one of my favorite videos you've done. Thank you. It was such a gift!
Your channel has got me so excited to visit Japan one day. Please keep doing what you are doing Shogo!!
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. ^ ^
I hope that place NEVER goes out of business the teacher’s face is so happy it makes my heart warm
This has to be one of the most wholesome comment sections on youtube.
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.
omg that was the best thing on UA-cam thank you for this it made my day and i know you guys enjoyed it wow thanks you I bow and say thanks
That was an amazing display. The armor is so intricate and beautiful. The cutting was very cool as well
Thank you Shogo & Kazu for another enlightening video 😊.
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
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!
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 .
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 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!
I love the frog artwork, especially the scared one looking at the tip of the blade. 😨🥺
always cool to see you guys supporting businesses, place looks very cool, samurai armor always fascinated me as well
This experience looked amazing. Great video!
I'm planning a trip next year! Please keep showing cool historical events I could attend! Thank you!
You did it ! So proud of you, Shogo ! 😊
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
Another great video... You guys did an amazing job... and looked really COOOOOL!
Absolutely Enjoyed your presentation!!
I'm very surprised at how enjoyable was this video. Thank you for your hard work.
That place looks amazing. I’m a huge fan of samurai culture and I am reading and learning about it, I hope to visit Yushinkan Iai Dojo someday.
This was awesome! This one video has some of the best close up shots of Samurai armor being put on.
Thanks for sharing that. It looked like an incredible experience. You guys did a wonderful job. I am so doing that when I get a chance to visit Kyoto.
This is an experience I would love to have on a trip to Japan. Along with the ninja dojo. Thanks for your videos!
P.S. do you know of anyone who has done videos regarding things in and around Iga?
ua-cam.com/video/QssD1riUYHY/v-deo.html
We went to the Ninja Dojo too in Kyoto, the instructor is a Iga born man who is a official instructor of the Nindo association! If you have any questions maybe you can contact him😊
@@LetsaskShogo ninja shogo
That looked amazing! Truly, Japan is an amazing place. Maybe in another life I could visit this grand place...
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.
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!
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 am jealous of your experience!! And Shogo san you looked so impressive and menacing in that authentic armor! Sugoi!
This felt so wholesome! Amazing...
Found you from your shorts and ohhhh god you're right for me, I love blades, and your professionalism is wonderful to watch
Seeing you guys dressed in the beautiful armor looked soo cool! Love the video shogo! You guys have Impressive cutting skills
Thank you for this amazing video! This reminds me of dressing up and playing as warriors as a child. Very cool!
I loved watching every step, so cool!
Man the master's cuttings are amazing
Very nice video! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Shogo, your honestly amazing. Please keep it up
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.
I really loved this video shogo!
that was amazingly great experience! and im just in my room watching it! ... someday! thank you for sharing this experience, more power to you guys!
Great video! That was soo cool if I ever have the chance to go to Kyoto im definitely going to try this experience. Ty very much for sharing with us.
Seeing the armor being worn is so amazing 👏 😍 What an amazing experience.
The demonstration was great!
The teacher has a great sense of humor I love it!
Well done Shogo! Well done indeed!
Those O'Yoroi looked spectacular on both of you!
You guys are great keep up the amazing work, humbled to learn from you guys keep it up!!!🙇♂️
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 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 .
it's the first time I've watched a video of you. what you guys did felt like a really unique experience, even living in japan. i hope to try it one day! a big hug from São Paulo, Brazil!
Waiting for the video to go live!
SHOGO I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. YOUR DREAM COME TRUE!!! IT WAS GLORIOUS WHEN YOU WORE THAT ARMOR!!!
this is now on my "bucket-list" i hope to try this at some point, hopefully with my friends. you make awsome videos and we all learn so much. keep it up :D
Definitely an experience to try. Thank you for spreading the beauty of Japanese culture in our day. Greetings from Italy. Peace.
This looks amazing. I will be in Kyoto in September, so this is on the list for sure 😍🙏
Just WOW! I can't believe you can actually do this and it's a lot cheaper than expected.
When I am in Kyoto (hopefully) next year this will be on othe top of my list.
Excellent video. Got me all fired up to learn
great video, really enjoy your content Shogo!
Wow you guys did great. Especially with the armor. Very impressive!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow!!!!! Great video shogo!!!! I’m so happy you made this video!!!!! 5 Stars!!!!! This looks like something I want to try!!!!!
