Just raised what I had written. That's a damn long Stuka. let's change that to 9shaku 5bu shall we.

I wish we could see that video too! no plans to put it on youtube?

Yes This can be a tricky technique. But for me its all in the timing and knowing your blade well enough. This is actually my favorite waza! and I know that a lot of people are going to call me crazy...

Nice post!

You are quite right, I was just venting over some similar cases that I have witnessed recently of some high level Sword practitioners.

Yeah and after he embarrassed himself and his entire dojo he picks up his sword and keeps going as if nothing had happened. No apology to the person he almost stabbed with his sword.

I have seen...

Here is a nice little gem from the modern collection.

Patience! It wont happen over night but it will happen!

Yeah there are some nice little sparks there!
We still have those two swords in the Dojo and we use them for Tachiuchi demonstrations to this very day.

Yeah I have quite a bit of old footage but it doesn't all run form beginning to end. There is a bit here and a bit there, some b/w some colour, some not so clear but watchable.

I will upload...

Glad you guys enjoyed the video.

Yes this is Oe Sensei's set of revised Kata, or at least as they are taught at our dojo. Here is the list.

1. Deai (出合)
2. Kobushidori (拳取)

Nice Pics.

Thank you for posting.:grin:

Hardest one for me though is definatley Mae. Never seem to be happy with my Nukitsuke!!
