There are actually forms that do not have any chiburi at all. It's still not clear where the idea of it comes from anyways. While the most common conception is "to shake off blood", anyone who ever worked with blood would know this will hardly work. There are theories it stems from a more spiritual idea, of shaking off the guilt of death or chiburi being about zanshin. Because of that, some styles do not have it at all. Unfortunately, I forgot which ones.
Very informative demo. I especially enjoyed the many practical pointers. But you could lower the volume of the sound track as it competes with narrator.
For drawing, my teacher focus me on pull back the saya back more that pulling the sword out. Pull the saya back swift enough and the sword is free, then the right hand can initiate attack however direction as I want, combine both action for nukitsuke. The technique helps me so much I thought I should share. Other than that, it's a really nice video with interesting tips. I learned a lot from this.
Good video! Furikaburi is my favourite part of iaido practice. I never knew about it for a long time, then changed a lot. It gives a feeling in the sword of never ceasing to be sharp. Very satisfying addition to practice. Thanks for including it in the video.
What an excellent teaching style Sensei. Your teaching skills have grown exponentially with your IAI skills. Thank you for sharing this rare and special gift. You are a great source of knowledge.
@@NamazuRyuSaikenI am aware of that. A brother Iaidoka. I chose the term respectfully as you are already aware. I appreciate what you share senpai. I have learned by watching your post. Domo Senpai.
4:35, swordfriend you may enjoy reading the book by Nakamura Taisaburo called "The Spirit of the Sword". Challenging book, as you would understand upon reading, though very beneficial when it's time to make kata into tameshigiri. Thanks for the video, very well presented.
@@Evan-yl8vy i understand fully, ive went through that for many years until just good timing and luck a dojo started teaching with a reputable sensei came. But life doesnt always go as planned and now its up to me to train as much its available 🙂
@@Evan-yl8vy no problem :) i think other people's opinions about whats right and wrong are reflections of their own journey - they arent sure themself so they may project it to others who isnt fortunate enough to have actual guidance - thats how i see it atleast, the real path is to just keep training with whatever that is available within your means
i want to get into iaido, but i can't afford to go to a dojo and get trained. is it possible for me to at least practice at home for a bit to grasp the basics and learn the generalized fundamentals online? i did taekwondo up until the black belt, but have gotten interested in swordsmanship and kenjutsu as i've gotten older. thanks for making these nice videos!
My humble opinion, it is always best to have a teacher to guide you through the details, but of course if it's no accessible anything else like videos or texts must be viewed as references. You may learn from the references first of course and to further your journey, you will see the huge differences in self taught and an actual teacher guiding you. So to me I always encourage to learn as much as you can, and when one day there is access to an actual teacher - it can take your journey much much further. Hope this helps 🙏 I was once an anime reference swords person 🤭 so yes I know how it's like to have no access to proper dojo before

Tatsumi Ryu, which I am a member of, does not have chiburi in our Iai kata.

Your sensei isn't wrong either, many interpretations and styles depending what we do 🙂

@@NamazuRyuSaiken hopefully i can find a dojo to teach me some in person skills, that would be such a fun time

Excelente Sensei Domo
Thank you 🙏
Namazu senpai what is the proper way to say in Japanese the 7 fundamental’s of Iaido?
Errr...I don't know honestly - this is just a general breakdown - there are more steps depending on different katas
