Understanding Fear, Function, and Conscious Programming in Classical Samurai Martial Arts
This is in response to a question at our annual Gathering of the Clan in regards to conscious programming. Our normal, fear based, fight-flight programming does not allow higher physical, mental, and spiritual function. What is the process for programming for superior function that is the basis of high level Samurai martial arts? This talk gives some insight into that process.

Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Putting this aspect of kuzushi together we use two training partners. It is essential to learn this method of moving and unbalancing an opponent/opponents. Deception of movement, ability to unbalance/control your opponent, the ability to rapidly adapt to multiple attacks as there is no need to weight and unweight your feet when moving are foundational to classical high level koryu kenjutsu. Wha...
Kenjutsu Fundamentals Kuzushi/gathering/unbalancing 4th in a Series
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
A great deal of classical Samurai military arts is very subtle and hidden. It is designed to be so. There are no big flashy movements. Deception is fundamental and this starts with movement. Learning to move in a classical manner is a lot of work and reprogramming, it is however the foundation for everything. Everything thing in a classical martial system is Kenjutsu, that includes the jujutsu/...
Kenjutsu Fundamentals-3rd in a series on Kuzushi, Gathering, with the Sword
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Год назад
It is essential in Kenjutsu that you be able to gather your opponent as you cut him. This unbalancing gives you both a beat of time and space to manage your relationship with your opponent and manage/control his blade. Aiuchi, mutual killing was common which is why the most evolved styles of Kenjutsu emphasized Kuzushi with the cut. No strength, no leaning, no flexing of muscles, reach through ...
Kenjutsu Fundamentals 2nd in a series on Kuzushi/Gathering
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
Kuzushi, Gathering, is fundamental to classical Kenjutsu. Since all movement in Classical Koryu is based on Kenjutsu it is essential to understand and learn how to unbalance/gather an opponent. These movements and relationships are not from normal movement. Pushing, levering, flexing etc. are not what is being demonstrated here and will preclude your ability to perform these movements successfu...

This is experiential training where it is necessary to feel what is happening however I will do my best here to explain and demonstr...
Kenjutsu practice-Solo one hand Suburi
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.Год назад
Suburi is a fundamental sword movement. It is the foundation of one of our Kenjutsu kata and it teaches us to program our movement according to Principle. As Kuroda Sensei once told me, "people are misunderstanding kata. Kata is not about real fighting, kata takes us into a different world." The mind and body are accessed in a fundamentally different way in classical Kenjutsu. The kata are ther...
Nami ryu Tameshigiri-Using your center to power two cuts
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.Год назад
In Nami ryu all motion originates from your center. We train not to separate our arms from the motion of our body, this is called Juntaiho. The concept is very much a part of the process of becoming one with your sword, first become one with your body. Later and with much training the arms can move without obvious body motion and still not be separated however that is a much more advanced pract...
Defense against a Prison Shank Attack.
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.2 года назад
The prison shank is a common knife attack. This solution comes directly from Kyoryu principles and movement. You must practice this slowly until all of the parts of this movement happen spontaneously and at the same time. Extreme relaxation, do not tense, do not lever, do not use your bicep. You are creating the Void at the same time you are taking up space. In the training example I am giving ...
Penetration testing of one of my new knife designs the CRKT HZ6 tactical knife.
Просмотров 3,9 тыс.2 года назад
Penetration testing the HZ6 from CRKT through plywood. Wood is quite resistant to penetration so make sure that you grip the knife properly if you are going to do this. Put your thumb over the back of the handle. This handle gives exceptional grip and the blade shapes maximizes both penetration and slashing. You can find out more about this knife at www.crkt.com/hz6.html Feel free to ask questi...

Aiki jujutsu technique San Kajo explained by James Williams Sensei, Nami ryu Kaicho
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
In Nami ryu our Kenjutsu and our Aiki-jujutsu are identical movements. In essence, everything is kenjutsu. Close combat with edged weapons is a contact environment. In the classical training used for lethal combat the jujutsu/aikijujutsu is not leverage grappling based as in so many modern derivations. Time to solution is a critical factor as in any lethal engagement.

The hisshou needs another run
you can turn down the playback speed of the slow motion replay down to 0.25 and it's still hard to follow exactly how he manages to keep that blade aligned with his hands.
One of the best to ever do it
Wow 🤩 was his skill was unbelievable
How does it slash ?
It slashes very aggressively. The constant curve facilitates slashing.
rest in peace
is there a specific name for his style ?
I’ve been looking all over eBay for a hisshou, but can’t seem to find any. Could you point me in the right direction to buying one?
Sir this is a Wendy's...
Really loving my Otanashi Noh Ken
Excellent
Kuroda Tetsuzan Sensei has passed. One of the great swordsman and teachers of the modern era. He was a friend, mentor and teacher for 25 years, may he rest in Peace.
R.I.P Sensei.
Holy shit
RIP sensei.
A good man, an outstanding teacher and a once in a generation swordsman.
Oh how I wish all of your designs were still in production.
As do I...
This is nearly inhuman, given his age. So incredible, and that seems to be a very effective kobudo. Pre edo, likely even pre sengoku. I've never seen this particular ruyha but its clearly a logical, effective form, which screams actually used in combat, to me.
@SystemOfStrategy Hey, James! I really like your blade designs. I just wanted to ask if there's going be another production run regarding JWD blades? I've been trying to find HZO002 Hira Zukuri O-Tanto but they're sold out everywhere.
We are working on one, not sure of the time frame right now. Thank you for the nice comments.
@@SystemOfStrategy Thank you for the reply. I hope I'll be able to nab one once they come out!
@@SystemOfStrategy Would like to see something like the CRKT Yukanto (maybe even with a shorter blade) return, for people who want a more budget-friendly option.
@@JT-466 Have a 4.75" fixed blade coming at SHOT show in January.
@@SystemOfStrategy Cool, I like your designs. Would like to see something like the Yukanto or more compact versions of the CRKT HZ6. When I look up duty knives they are usually in that price range (or even less like the Glock field knife).
That's alot of money real quick! Nice cuts!
Amazing technique we used this technique in our dojo jukido ❤❤❤❤
😂yes easily drawn and accessed by the enemy who then has immediate access to your throat and a blade fuck dude don't call yourself tactical you are fucken tacticant think about basic gear placement. Like seriously think about it dude you bust into a room looking like that and get jumped one grabs your gun another grabs your body and one easily gets that knife out and then up and in to your neck for fucks sake this it's anything you should advertise to people
britain
Mr. Williams love your work. The Hisshou is my prized blade in my collection.
Can you add at the end: helmet on attacker, rubber knife, at least half speed if not 3/4. How u train is what u get in reality. What works great at 1/30th speed might do so well when it's the real deal.
Please kindly re-upload without the busted water pipe in the background - a struggle to hear what seems from the glimpses i catch to be a valuable talk.
I’ve heard this voice on a man in a blue gi training seals
Is it true that there are no "real" katana anymore cause they were either all destroyed or hidden?
Not true, many old swords still around.
Where can I get a large stand like that. The one I have used in the past, will not allow me to proceed I'm cutting multiple times. The way the stand moves with the mat, once there is impact and a sword will fail to cut again.
I cannot cut with first iai, from sky to ground in a rapid enough/fast enough path Of travel, cutting from the draw. So this should be my routine I'm guessing.
Remember that the cuts originates from your center. When you tie the body movement into the cut it is much easier to be efficient.
@@SystemOfStrategy yes sir, after you. I can only thank you for your intellect.
Placement looks dangerous. Could be safer in the center of your chest right over the heart for quicker access. Im just talking shit you're the pro not me. 😅 Just subbed hope you make more blade videos.
Is Hanwei Odachi factory sharpened?
Yes
Is this what "otanashi no ken" means? I had a hunch that the name implies more than just the quiet deployment of the blade.
Otanashi no ken means silent blade. The connotation could be in the deployment and/or use of the blade as well.
@@SystemOfStrategy I was referring to the way you block, re-direct and follow through with your own attack. Without rattling sabers.
Who would have thought these would be impossible to find in a few years 😢
Large bowie knife Vs large Japanese tanto . . . which would win? vote below :
Everything flows perfectly together. Great cutting!
Very impressed, subscribed and shared your video on my channel, so great to see a true master in action, verbally and physically, great show
Thank you, much appreciated. Many decades of training and hard work and also being fortunate to run into some exceptional teachers of which I am extremely grateful to.
@SystemOfStrategy I was wondering if you can help me, I missed my chance to pick up your CRKT Hisshou, why has it been discontinued, that is a Grail knife for me as I have a channel and review swords and knives, do you know where I can still get one?..I am in live with that piece
I will check around. Looking on some of the internet sites for used knives etc is probably best. @@JoeSteel1
Smooth !!
The Japanese really knew what they were doing in regard to weapons back in the days of the samurai.
Life or Death is serious motivator...
I love the knife designs, James. I would especially like to see the older designs available in a stonewash or matte gray finish. Maybe CRKT will do a few like that in the future?
Thank you. I wish they were setup to do that however it would have to be done by someone else.
God I wish crkt would make more lol.. I want one so so bad
Can you please re release these lol I cannot find them at all and if I do.. it’s like 2 paychecks lol
Hard to find I know....
@@SystemOfStrategy I’ve got that hz6 on its way to me… I really wish crkt would release just another single run.. of all three sizes lol
So would I! @@jeffcon123
That was a THICK tatami.. I couldn't do it... not yet anyways. His face kinda scrounge up at the end there
Special like Simple Jack.
Sweet!😃
That is berry difficult with a sword that is dull at $900 and has a history of no succession in cutting mats.
did these ever go into production?
😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome design terrible steel i would of preferred plain ol carbon . Holds an edge way better. Then again this design is really not for cutting
That one is designed for marine tactics aka seal underwater missions. It will penetrate a torso just fine . That's is soul purpose. It's not a multipurpose tool knife it's a human meat cleaver/heart poker.
Best knife hands down if you have to kill a table 👍!!
Controlled environment with no resistance to the defenders moves. Speed it all up 10 fold with an attacker that resists defence moves .
This is training and the first time they have seen these moves, go slow, be correct.
What if you turn a corner and you're assailant is right there? he just grab your knife so easily and turn it on you?
You have to learn how to go around corners first of all. Second when properly trained you respond more efficiently that the person attacking. Third even if he can find and grab the knife I have multiple weapon choice at hand.
@SystemOfStrategy thank you for reply..
Don't corner close, give yourself as much room as you can away from the corner paying attention to the clear line in the process. You will have a tool in your hand, long gun, short gun, etc. so give yourself enough room to keep it in the fight.
Your
