3 TYPES OF BATTO and NOTO TUTORIAL

In this video I show you BATTO and NOTO, which is drawing the sword and sheathing the sword. BATTO and NOTO are very important basic skills for the samurai sword.
From BATTO we will do SEIGAN-NO-KAMAE. This is one of the most basic stances in samurai sword martial arts. Today's video shows techniques from the Kaz Method, which I developed from my experience in Taté and several disciplines of Japanese sword martial arts.
**Note: in Iaido my version of YOKO-NOTO is called tate-noto.
However, these techniques on my channel are my own method which I have developed called Kaz Method. I am calling it yoko-noto since it slides horizontally (yoko) so it is easy to remember.
Whether the katana is horizontal, vertical or another angle, the principle behind the sheathing is the same. I am not ignoring or disrespecting Budo naming conventions. However, since there are many types of Ryuha (schools of martial arts) each with their own types of naming, it is not possible to satisfy everyone's naming conventions.
I teach the principle behind these techniques to performers so that they can handle any scenario in their work. It is derived from my experience as a performer and a martial artist.
To understand the principle beyond the form, to be versatile in responding to a variety of situations, this is at the root of my teaching.**
Please note, this video is for informational purposes only.
Kaz Kobayashi will not be held responsible for any injuries arising from a viewer attempting these sword techniques on their own.
If you are a beginner, please use a BOKKEN. Using a katana (real or replica) without training can result in serious injury and death. Please be sure to work with a professional trainer when using a katana until you are sufficiently skilled.
You can contact Kaz for lessons or please seek local dojos.
I hope you enjoyed this video.

I prefer Japanese swordsmanship because the swords are more beautiful and really works of art. I am from England and would say our way is more like being a butcher, the Japanese way is more like a surgeon. Also the armour plays a big part, Japanese are more manoeuvrable making it more like a deadly dance! Just my opinion! Each to their own. Take care. Stay safe 🙏

@@KateJohn2013England European swordsmanship is definitely not about "being a butcher" it's every bit as elegant, surgical, and disciplined as Japanese swordsmanship, there are plenty of ugly Katanas out there and plenty of beautifully crafted European swords and vice versa, Japanese armour didn't evolve like European armour. Honestly comparing the two (Japanese vs European) is unfair, a Samurai was essentially the equivalent of a knight, knights and Samurai usually had expensive, very well made gear, and were highly trained, so comparing a Samurai to a common infantry soldier isn't fair, of course the Samurai is better, but compared to a European Knight they aren't inherently better or worse in any way. you can Just say you like Japanese swordsmanship, you don't have to crap on European martial arts, or even dislike it all, you can just like what you like.

@j.d.4697 Жыл бұрын

@@lucasfv1357 The thing is, HEMA training is structured completely differently. It's taught like any sport or art in Europe, which I'm not saying is bad, but compared to that, Japanese arts put extreme emphasis on the abilities I listed above already beginning with the rituals. And I think the rituals make up the biggest part of that.

Its all in the feet, and wrists. "Iado", as my instructor Darrell butchered it, taught me a lot about form, technically perfect form, and "good" form. Its a subschool MEANT for perfectionists, but when its bokken-knockin' time, the aid its knowlege provides an aggressive and decisive mindset and benefits to one's initiative, as well as, perhaps surprisingly enough, grappling. At at 2 crucial ranges and when kneeling or sitting. Reccomended for any HEMA man, Traditionalists who revere the aesthetic AND combative spirits intimately woven into the daily discipline, or any fencer that wishes to supplement existing skill with the fullblooded beauty of the Classical Japanese arts and their rich legacy.

While Kazu demonstrates a deep and profound respect for his historical roots, to say he is among the last few Japanese men that value their ancestry and masculine identity is a little bit of a stretch. With all due respect to you and to Kazu Sensei, I would ask that you not take this as a personal affront to you, but nothing more then what it is, anothers opinion. I would agree with you that Kazu sensei is as much a spirit of the katana as he is a Sensei.

Unfortunately for me, I am going through treatment for pancreatic cancer, and have no strength to speak of, and tire quickly. I have great respect for the discipline you exhibit. I think, that in order to perform such movements as you demonstrate, your mind must be clear of any conflicts, or cares. You must have a calm, clear mind. Thanks again.
