    Default Are the movies working OK for everyone?

    Mikko,

    I have been trying to watch the videos you have posted on your page and I can't seem to get them to work for some odd reason. I keep getting back an error message.

    Any thing I can do to remedy this problem?

    Thanks,

    Hi Steve,

    Could you please specify the error and OS and program you are using? I think the videos should work with your basic windows (if that's what you are using..) configuration with windows media player or other similar player. I've personally have had some problems with RealPlayer though, when clicking videos in a browser. For some weird reason they work well with RealPlayer too when first downloaded to the local harddrive (which I suggest you try doing).

    The videoclips shouldn't require any special codecs...

    Hope this helps,
    -Mikko Vilenius

    Default Koryu demonstrations & events in Japan

    As some of you might know from reading some of my other posts, I'm planning on traveling to Japan at the beginning of the next year. If all goes well, I should be there for about a year. While I'm there I would like to attend some koryu demonstrations to learn more about the koryu and perhaps even meet some people who are actively involved in practicing koryu bujutsu.

    For those of you who are "in the know" concerning this sort of thing, where is the best place I can find information as to where and when various koryu demonstrations will be held? What can I expect when going to such an event? Are there any special rules regarding etiquette that I should be aware of? Any information would be helpful.

    Thank you! ^_^

    Hi all,

    Date: August 15, 2004. Commences at 11:00 a.m
    Venue: Kumano Hongu Grand Shrine
    Address: Hongu, Hongu Cho, Higashi Murogun, Wakayama Prefecture

    Question Koryu demonstrations & events in Japan

    Hay guys,

    I went to see the Meiji Jingu Enbu Taikai this year on November 3rd. I saw lots and lots of koryu arts in action, some I had seen before and some that I had never knew even existed. I was a bit late so I couldn't get the pamphlet that had every art's and practitioner's name so I'm still wondering about couple of things. Some arts had the same name and looked totally different. I took a lot of pictures and I would appreciate if you could identify couple of arts for me.

    I'm interested in things like what is this? Who are they? Where do they train?

    Let's begin with a question about TSKSR that started in this thread. http://www.e-budo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31794 I decided to start a new thread with all my questions so here we go. I linked the pictures so your browser wouldn't crash.

    Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu

    Is this man Otake sensei and his group?

    Is this Sugino sensei's group?

    http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d6...u/TSKSR_15.jpg


    Yagyu Shinkage Ryu

    Can you explain the differences between these two YSR groups?

    What ryu is this and why do they use so long sword?

    That is not Otake Risuke - I believe it is his son. Otake sensei does not perform at enbu anymore (IIRC)

    Is this Sugino sensei's group?
    Looks like it.

    Can you explain the differences between these two YSR groups?
    Dont know, sorry - I'm sure someone else can clarify this for you.

    What ryu is this and why do they use so long sword?
    I believe this is Shinmuso Hayashizaki Ryu Iaijutsu - they are known for using particularly long swords. Why? who knows - you'd have to ask them.

    Default Thanks

    Thank you Oda for the great pictures!!
    I really enjoyed seeing them.
    I was wondering if you have any more pictures from the enbu.
    I would very much like to see them if you do.
    Thank you very much.

    P.S. The ryu with the long sword is indeed Shinmuso Hayashizaki Ryu according to the name on the board in the picture.

    Default Yagyu Shingan Ryu Arakido

    >Yagyu Shinkage Ryu
    >Can you explain the differences between these two YSR groups?


    I didn’t go to see enbu in Meiji Jingu, but the uniform of two men in the first photo is Yagyu Shingan Ryu Arakido in Kanagawa-ken.
    Their dojo is close to my house.
    Arakido group http://www.kunpooan.com/arakido/arakido-e.html

    I checked movies of enbu of 3rd November, it must be Arakido group.
    http://silverwind.air-nifty.com/2005...i/p1040083.avi

    The second photo’s uniform is Tokyo Yagyu Kai or Nagoya Yagyu Kai(soke’s group).

    Regards,
    Mai Shikata

    The current issue of Hiden has a full report of the day (I couldn't make it) and a list of the styles that demonstrated and the person who led each demonstration.
    My copy is at work, will try to get back to you ASAP.

    Hello Karasu,
    Thank you for the links.
    Do you happen to have any other links to some Koryu videos like the one
    you gave us???

    Andrew,
    Thank you for the heads up on the Hiden issue.
    I will go look for it tomorrow.

    Good week to you all,

    The group in the video file is Shimazu Kenji's Yagyu Shingan-ryu Heihojutsu Chikuosha group, not Kajitsuka Yasushi sensei's Arakido group.

    Actually, this group is not from the orthodox YSR, I believe they are an off shoot, though I am not sure which line. I am a member of the Tokyo branch that is directly connected to Yagyu Soke. I was given "camera man" duty during their embu. I am at work now but later i will try to post some of those photos.

    There are so many strands of the Shinkage Ryu that to call one an offshoot is somewhat misleading..There are several lines directly associated with the Yagyu family and many others that seperated in the 16 or 1700's..Many of these other groups exist and at any given enbu several can demonstrate...I have seen at least 8 and counting...Not including the Owari groups under the Owari Kan Ryu...There are many.
