Iaido group in YouTube

Feel free to upload, invite, post, whatever as long as it's good content!

I registered it before some backyard sam-your-eye did it and flooded with crappy SLOs and flashy awesome self invented arts.

Cheers!

I joined the group (we are 5 as of now) and added a few videos to the list.

All Iaido Related.

[Dave Drawdy]

ok, guys, am taking a chance here by 'sticky-ing' this thread. If the intent is to gather and show good iai and related stuff, that would be a service to us all. I would ask that people provide comments on the videos and styles. We'll see how it works out.

I think that's a great idea guys...a nice contrast to some of the junk that's on there when you do a search on Iaido.

[Julian Dupuy]

Thank you Dave!

So far there are 23 members and 29 videos already.

Since this is not SFI's iaido forum but JSA, I think it's appropiate to mention the YouTube group for kendo as well! http://www.youtube.com/group/kendo

But, ahem, they only have 6 videos and 11 members :P

Will there be a "kenjutsu" group handled by budoka before some watermelon slayer on rollerskates takes it?


Cheers!

This looks like a great resource, but unfortunately the links "are offline due to a crappy hosting company". I'd be very interested to see what's in it when they're back online.

Hello everyone,

I have found this footage to be very nice. I personally enjoy the way these kata's are being performed. these a very dynamic.

This one from Nakayama Hakudo is one of my personal favorites as well.

[Thomas Gegenhuber]

Thanks J-M for the links. I didnt know the video from nakayama hakudo. Iwill eatch it a couple of times and try to improve my iai. Does anybody know if there are videos about the kumitachi from muso shinden out there?

Hi there

Is this a dead thread now? Link didn't work so I assume it is?

[Dave Drawdy]

no reason for the thread to be dead, altho the linked youtube group seems to be gone. Feel free to link to examples of good iai.

Dave

[Sam Barnes]

Sorry, yes I meant the youtube group rather than the link! Apologies.

Not sure I should be assessing if Iai examples are good or bad though, so as is my normal M.O I shall shuffle quietly to the back of the class!!

[Dario R]

I love the iaido! Great weapon! anybody got one?
