- Опубліковано 28 тра 2015
- Datotsu is a comprehensive drill training to concentrate of perfecting the muscle memory for striking, both for forms and for competition fighting. This is the basic set. A later video will add the remaining practice techniques you can add when you are ready.

It always amazes me that even when someone contributes something honestly to the mass of online media with a well-made video, with clear explanation, good and correct Japanese pronunciation, just as you have, there are still some dweebs to click on "dislike".
Sadly.
Thanks for posting this. I got a naginata recently and am now practacing with these drills
Thank you. I hope it is helpful.
At first, I thought it was called Nagi-Tana but I now see it as Nagi-Nata. Great video!😊✌👍
Glad I could be helpful.

I will copy your actions
Follow your instructions.
Any advice for a 5 ft pole arm as opposed to a, say, 7ft+
Thank You.
Thank you for the compliments. If you want forms that fit 5 ft. poles, I imagine there are videos that specialize in that weapon, but if you want to apply Naginata concepts to it, the main issue is the grip, I think. You should have between 1.5 feet and 2 feet (whatever the length of your forearm) behind the back fist on the grip on a Naginata and adjust the height with the front fist to hit the target's height. If you are using a 5-footer, you will either sacrifice striking length in the front, gripping/balancing surface in the back, or a bit of both. If you sacrifice the gripping surface in the back, then you will have to make every hand movement (i.e. changes of guard, furikaeshi strikes, etc.) much more precise to avoid losing the back grip. Good luck and safe practice!

Thank You
Hey helpful video I am currently training in martial arts but there are no schools in my immediate area that I know of that teach this can you share a link to someone who might be able to help me find a school to train in art of naginata?
Finding a school can be very difficult. For an official place to look, try the US Naginata Federation website (naginata.org/). There are some official groups in the larger cities. However, you may want to do some more local-level searching, like Facebook or Reddit to see if there might be any kind of Zoom-based group, simply because there aren't that many groups once you get further away from the cities. Good luck.
When I hear "Datotsu," I keep thinking about a Shinsengumi captain...
hay, not sure if you see this post, but I was wondering if there are any books on learning the naginata and learning the drills
There are a few in existence, but the one I know and trust from personal experience is called "Shin Naginata Kyoushitsu." It is in Japanese and it is out of print, but there are places to get it. We all wish they would bring it back, frankly.
Amazon (not sure I would trust this, don't know the seller): www.amazon.com/naginata-shitsu-Zennihon-Naginata-Renmei/dp/4469162779/ref=sr_1_20?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1499021913&sr=1-20&keywords=naginata
Kinokuniya (more expensive, but a reliable book seller): www.kinokuniya.com/us/index.php/fbs003?common_param=9784469162776
I don't know the person behind this channel personally - but he seems to practice the budo version of naginata (same as what I practice). I highly recommend this book: www.amazon.com/Naginata-History-Practice-Alexander-Bennett/dp/4907009208
It gives a very thorough explanation of both historical aspects and the basic techniques.
Saying all that - nothing replaces the practice with a teacher :-)
