Jodan

[sorensen]

Hi all

Do anyone know about any DVD focused on Jodan no kamae?

Thanks a lot

The only DVD that I know of that includes some elements of Jodan is the Fourth one in the e-bogu Kendo Fundamentals series that covers the Jodan elements of Nito... for Daito and Shoto.

Yes, Chiba-sensei has made a series of instructional DVD's, with the 3rd one being about jodan. You'll need a Japanese friend to order it for you.

Jakob... Do you happen to know the title of these DVDs or a reference number?

Cheers

BTW do you own a copy :D ? And (if yes) did you find it useful?...

[JSchmidt]

It's reasonably useful as it's limited how much you can gain from a DVD and his techniques may vary from what you have been taught.
It is however a very good inspirational tool.

Thanks a lot for the help

well I don´t know if you like reading but by far far the best jodan insights are given at a book called fundamental kendo. though i´ve heard it´s quite expensive as it is like a bible of kendo at japan.

I like reading, the problem is that the jodan info would be for my sensei and he can´t speak english, the book is quite expensive too, but THANKS for the information. I will try to find some about that book.

And sometimes that's very important. Yeah OK, understood, thanks.

I think the book is in japanese anyway.. however, trying to find an english translation shouldn´t be hard.
