Here is a demonstration by the late Sugino Sensei.
I know that there is a lot of controversy surrounding Katori but I always enjoy seeing their techniques performed.
My only complaint is that I just wish they didn't kiai so much - though it is good practise at ignoring distractions :lol:.
ROFLKLITA! It's so not fair . Our only defence is to do the Toho kata series ... it's the only one in MJER with kiai .
Aye, Toho is an amalgum of kata from several schools gathered together by the All Japan Iaido Federation to give a flavour of other styles:
Mae Giri (MJER)
Zengogiri (Mugai-Ryu)
Kiriage (Shindo Munen-Ryu)
Shihogiri (Suio-Ryu)
Kissaki Gaeshi (Hoki-Ryu)
I have to say tho' that we're not convinced that these techniques are very 'true' to their roots, going by the differences in Maegiri compared to Mae (from Seiza No Bu), the kata that it's supposed to be .
