As a 6'5" Jodan player in Kendo, i feel a strong connection to the kamae of fire. Between katate and morote waza, you gain the ability to disrupt your opponents spacing, and hit him in the gaps in his defence.

The previous time I drew parrallels with european 15th century stances, and here it continues: In German Liechtenaurian tradition the Shin-no-Seigan (does that mean guard of death?) is called Pflug (plow)... Even the feet placement is the same. Hira Seigan looks like Longpoint (Langhort), but with a few key differences: since a two-handed longsword has two edges and has a different shape and guard the hand position differs. But keeping the hands loose is the case too. The main difference is that it's not about measuring distance, but forcing your opponent to attack your blade before he comes close enough to attack you. This is reminescend of how Seki Sensei stressed that it is advantageous to let your opponent start moving before you do in a previous video. Migi Jodan and Dai Jodan are guards, but your explanation about them reminded me of named attacks: according to your explanation it sounds like Migi Jodan is made to lead into a diagonal downwards cut (oberhau in old german, litterally "over-strike"), while the Dai Jodan is made to lead into a vertical flinging cut we name scheitelhau (Germ.: crown strike), which is interesting: Do all guards have one assigned attack? If yes, is it incorporated in your Budo to use the "signature attack" of a guard from the wrong guard in order to surprise your opponent? (asking this because in Liechtenaurian tradition both Migi Jodan and Dai Jodan would be called a Von Tag (from the roof) guard, which is (most of the time) placed on the shoulder, but can also be held above your head. There are also other upper guards, like the einhorn (unicorn) which looks like the Dai Jodan, but with the sword tilted diagonally forwards, or the ox, and so on)

Well, hand and blade positioning is slightly different for the "plow", and you want to use the Gehilz(crossguard) and the blade to cover your openings...something the katana can not offer
@scariuslvl9987
Жыл бұрын
@@RoninTF2011 sure! there are nuances, after all the shape of the weapon does massively impact the use you make of it. The crossguard does indeed offer considerable protection. That said, I'm fairly certain that the blade of a katana can offer cover for your openings just as well as any similarly sized blade.

The kanji for seigan is composed of sei (正, “correct, justice, righteous”) and gan (眼, “eyeball”). It's the guard where you point your weapon at your opponents eye.

Checking measure by using the sword tip covering the foot is seriously the most ingenious thing I've learned on all of sword youtube. I practice and spar HEMA multiple times a week and I'm going to check this one out using Longsword and Rapier. My prediction is that it's a universal sword tip. Thanks MASSIVELY.

i noticed that at the end of the stances part of the video, Seki Sensei had sheathed his sword but was keeping his peripheral vision on the camera person. i wonder if this was from the concept of keeping combat ready at all times or possibly for the safety of the camera person? or possibly something else. i absolutely loved the video 💜 great work.
