“Subscribe to our channel: School: Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō Ryū Heihō Kawasaki Shibu Sugino Dōjō Event: Meiji Jingu Kobudo Demonstration 2018 Date: 03/11/2018 Venue: Meiji Jingu, Nishisando Shibachi Representative: Iizasa Yasusada (Sōke 20th generation) -- PRESENTATION: TENSHIN SHŌDEN KATORI SHINTŌ RYŪ HEIHŌ KAWASAKI SHIBU SUGINO DŌJŌ -- Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu is one of the oldest Japanese martial arts. It was founded in the 15th century by Iizasa Choisai Ienao, who was a famous spearman and swordsman of that time. You can still observe in the techniques of the school the characteristic movements due to the fighting conditions of a real battlefield: wearing a 35 kg ancient “Yoroi” armor, moving on potentially uneven ground, the warrior sees his movements slowed and restricted, and he has to strike on particular spots to efficiently go through his opponent’s own protection. The Sugino Dojo, branch of the main line Katori Shinto Ryu was founded by Sugino Yoshio in the 40’ and is currently led by his son Yukihiro Sugino, at the Yushinkan Sugino Dojo in Kawasaki. This video, in particular, shows only the Kenjutsu demonstration among all the other weapons included in the school’s curriculum. Other weapons are shown in separate videos.
