We teach empty hand application and henka for most waza in the system, although it isn't exactly what is in the Yamauahi-ha MJER book.
I have this book: Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu - The Iai Forms and Oral Traditions of the Yamauchi Branch
It is half in Japanese and half in English. The history section is good and it also includes...
Sekiguchi sensei interview. (Translated from Argentina article)
I thought it was very interesting and even had some things in it I did not know about Sekiguchi sensei. Figured I would share and...
This book has some pretty good biographies, although some are shorter than others. It is for the Yamauchi Ha though, which is a branch from Tanimura Ha, so the headmaster list varies from what you...
The Austin Komei Jyuku dojo is doing a cultural event / demo at the Austin Martial Arts Festival (http://www.amafest.org/) on Oct. 11th, 2008. It will include Iaijutsu waza, naginatajutsu waza, and...
Hopefully I am not resurrecting too old of a thread...
I made the move to Austin in May and had a baby in the same week (crazy busy). I recently got the time to work out all the logistics of...
I am moving to Austin at the end of May 08. I plan on starting a satellite school under Walt Bushey Sensei (http://www.katsujin.org/) who is the head of the Texas Komei Jyuku under Sekiguchi Komei...
We have practiced horseback variations of waza (as the attacker on the horse, not so much defending yourself from a mounted attacker). They were just henka but really fun to do... although we had to...
Was the sword the primary weapon he used in this battle? If not, he may have drawn his sword in close quarters and used iai techniques, then returned to using naginata/yari.
We have done a nukiuchi henka where you jump up from seiza (not fly through the air.. just jumping up to a horse stance) while you kiroroshi. Sekiguchi Sensei has us do it as a drill sometimes (over...
If only I had 13.5k: http://www.ricecracker.com/japanese_swords/katana/sk6.htm
That is one of the few antiques I have seen with the right length for our style.
I train in Ryoen Ryu naginatajutsu and MJER iaijutsu. Our naginata training involves tanto waza and iai when you play the role of uchitachi. I just assumed other naginata styles did too. Hopefully...
I train in naginatajutsu and iaijutsu and really enjoy both. You will probably learn some tanto waza in the naginata training which is always a plus. When we do bunkai in naginata class, it is...
I had this problem before, not so much for sweating, but because I did not wipe my blade down good enough after a tameshigiri session (in between cuts). I must have got a little water from the wara...
I just shot you an email, I am interested.
There may be some on youtube.com or video.google.com, but you might have to sift through a bunch of bad videos to get a good one.
I probably should not have bundled Sean's shinken with the antique I also took pictures of. Sorry for the confusion.
He just added 4500 year old bog oak. It would be a nice bokken to put in a display box and hang on the wall.
Just letting you all know that http://www.bukikan.com/ is selling Komei Jyuku (Yamauchi-Ha MJER Iaijutsu) style bokkens. Everything is hand made and you can get all sorts of exotic woods. Right now...
I filmed that video and that was her very first time test cutting (with any weapon). She has improved a lot since then.
I train in Ryouen Ryu Naginatajutsu as well as Yamauchi-Ha MJER Iaijutsu. I do not know much about Jikishinkage Ryu, but Ryouen Ryu is very combative and I enjoy it very much. Most of the bunkai...
I am a member of the Texas Komei Jyuku dojo and train under Walt Bushey Sensei. If you do not mind the hike to Lubbock, he would be more than happy to talk with you (or you can sit in on a couple...

I just wanted to show everyone pictures of this years training with Sekiguchi and Shimizu Sensei. I was able to make the Albuquerque, NM trip and Sekiguchi Sensei named the shibucho for NM (Randy...
