ah sorry I was using firefox. works well with IE :)

[samurai999]

Well the instruction is in Japanese.

Good find senjlee. I've been looking for something like this for a while since while ppl teach tsuki, none have gone into the depth that this video goes into..

[Andoru]

Is there a way to download this video? Looks like a mms file.

[Miravil]

This is awesome. I've never dare to practice tsuki all this while, now I can try this out. Thanks Senjlee.

[KhawMengLee]

Sweeeeeeeet...I'd hate to be that motodachi...

[mingshi]

OMG, he looks so bloody young in the video!! No white hair?

Furukawa-sensei was visiting Hong Kong just last weekend. Yesterday he and my favourite nanadan sensei ran into a ai-tsuki competition during jikeiko, and literally tsuki-ing him and everybody else to death (smiling in with a devilish "heh he he" all the way....)

[Hisham]

Some of the ways he showed in this video are the same we used in our tsuki training.

[senjlee]

About half of the links on the list at the bottom of that page are lessons of Furukawa (I spelled it Hurugawa) sensei about Men uchi, Kote uchi, various Ouji waza, kirikaeshi, kakarigeiko.
Currently, following is the translation of the list (It can be modified later)
number content
22. Kirikaeshi
21. Waza practice
20. Men-uchi
10. Suriage
8. Jodan
7. Do-uchi
6. Tsuki
...etc
You can try randomly still for valuable lessons and demos.

Also, following link has list of Yuko-datotsu from various taikai (most of them from Japan) more than hundred of them.

super tsuki!!! woooooow

[kuzu70]

Hurugawa? sensei's tsuki is so beautiful. His body is totally in it. We are always taught to use our body to hit tsuki and not our arms.

impossible to download them uh? all streaming....it lags big time here...

I have tried to use some program for recording stream video, but so far not successful.
Apparently, the adminstrator of that web page sends out free CD copy of Furukawa's lesson for those requesting it. It has to be free, since it's illegal to make business out of it without license.
You might try to contact him for a copy.
Though, due to the high demand, he cannot but to choose to be a guy hard to reach.

[kendokamax]

that sux
I cant understand why he would prefer to be asked to send a copy of a CD than letting people downloading it directly....it's nice to have these on internet.......but the lag is terrible so I just get the sound.......:(

You watched a real keiko...!
It's completelly different than watching videos...
Videos are good, but cannot catch the real environment of such great fights.
Did you sparred with him?

I don't really know, kendo-Max.
But he must have a reason, cause a lot of people, I believe, already had asked him the same question.
If I get lucky enough to get a copy, I would send you one.
Cheers!

Yeah, I have the same proble too.

You can download the video with this (http://stream-down.cocsoft.com/download.html) program :wink:

[Kingofmyrrh]

That's a pretty handy program, thanks.
Unfortunately the connection is so poor that it doesn't seem able to grab all of it properly. Is anyone out there having better luck?

[Fonsz]

That's a pretty handy program, thanks.

I have a cable broadband connection and it is working fine I can see all the awesome footage and instruction.

[Kingofmyrrh]

So do I, and I've never had any problems with any other sites. Oh well, win some, lose some.

[kendokamax]

thank you for the program don lubo

I highly recommend Cocsoft Stream Down, too. But if you are going to buy it either go to Froogle.Com or http://www.deprice.com/cocsoftstreamdown.htm

In our dojo, we don't really go over tsuki. It's good to see how it is done by such a skilled sensei.

Tsuki is pretty daunting in video. Seeing the one receiving it move so far back like that after it is pretty scary...I can't imagine receiving anything like that. I might just curl up in a fetal position and sob for a little.

[Mugu]

Well I was able to captured the video in WMV, if anyone wants it, PM me

[guchido]

Hello to everyone, this is my first post, I am a kenshin from Peru. I have been trying to improve my tsuki, especially my katate tsuki but everytime I think it is perfect during training it gets terrible during shiai. What can I do to improve it? I could not see the korean videos, I think the link for the videos is already dead, how is the the training from Eiga/Furukawa Sensei? Please Mugu-san, could you send me the videos you captured? Thanks to everyone for your advice.

Hello everybody, I'm a newcomer on this board and this is my first message.
I have read this discussion with great interest, then I've tried to get an hold of this video on the web, but my search has been useless as it has been removed or deleted from the websites that hosted it.
So here I am again to ask anyone here for the video, a link or even having it sent to me directly. Please let me know, I can trade with other video stuff or else.

Thanks. :)

Thanks a lot Mugu! I have just downloaded and watched it! What to say... that's the typical scenario where you would like to be anything else than the tomodachi... :grin: :confused2

Anyways, thanks for being so kind to give me the link for the video, that has been really appreciated.
Are you from Minneapolis? I have been there once, in 2004, nice and neat place.

That's it. Thanks again.

I would pay to be that motodachi.

[Legionario]

I would pay to be that motodachi.
On a second thought I have to admit that you are in the right. Training with such skilled kendoka is something that we all would long for.
Ciao.

[Sirsmokesalot]

Hello!

Just downloaded the Video, all i have to say is thank you verry much Mugu!

[Kapplow]

The vids on the original site don't seem to work for me. Does anyone else have this promblem? Or does someone have another source perhaps?

[guchido]

I really improved my tsuki with this video. Domo arigatou gozaimasu, Mugu san

[Mugu]

Glad I could help. Enjoy your training :)

[xavier24]

I also would be interested by this video.

Could somebody just host it on http://la.gg or rapidshare or something please?

[EBP2K2]

I have most of the 'collection'... however they are in FLV format, and youtube doesnt like them for some reason... i wish they'd be better way to distribute them...

on that note, i can't say much more than what others have said about the videos... they are basically same drills you'd do in your dojo... however to see them being laid out step by step (more or less), they are really helpful... especially for folks like most of us who dont get to practice everyday... watching the video is like having an introspection of your kendo... allowing me to visualize myself doing good kendo (yeah right)... x.x haha.

i'm still trying to convert the flvs into format youtube likes... hm...

[EBP2K2]

finally got around to converting. holy jebus it takes forever (from one format to another)

here's a short test video.. kote nuki men i think

If so then what about uploading them directly on rapidshare? So you won't have to waste time converting the files and the quality will be much better.
If I am not wrong, on rapidshare you can upload files up to 100 MB each.

Just an idea, thanks again for sharing such interesting material.

[bullet08]

i still can't see the file. it's getting 404 on all links. i even tried the japanese forum, and i'm still getting 404. can you PM me and send it over email?

IMO the source's quality isnt all that great to begin with. >.<

i think uploading to youtube ensures they stay on for everyone... :) probably in a day or two, i'll try to get most up.
