These Iai arts were performed by NAGAE Matasaburo, in his sixties (guess). He was born and lived in Nagasaki, received the 7th grade of Kendo and 8th grade of Iai from Zen-Nippon Kendo Renmei (All-Japan Kendo Federation). He also practiced Shinto Munen style Iai. The original movies were recorded in 8mm films, then edited in a VHS tape. It's not known who took and maintained these films (maybe one of Matasaburo's disciples did). They were converted to DV (digital video) format, stored in HDD, finally created QuickTime H.263 format (360x240, 15fps, compressed).

This essay will examine the meaning of the term “johakyu” (序 破 急) and how the concept is expressed in iaido kata. I will first examine the term’s history, application and meaning; and following this, the expression of examining johakyu in Ipponme Mae of the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Seitei Iai.

The origin of the forms of Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei Seitei Kata started in 1967 when it was realised that the majority of modern Kendo practitioners in the ZNKR had little or no experience of the techniques of using a real or live sword. And had realised that Kendo had become the way of the shinia . A committee was set up, comprising of the following members (...).

The 12 basic forms are called Seitei-Iai (Standard-Iai). They were created by the the Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei (ZNKR = All Japan Kendo Federation or IKF). They are training forms, which include all important sword technics. Seitei-Iai forms will provide the basic education (Kihon).

NOTE: Japanese martial arts are very diverse, and so any generalising statement or rule will have exeptions, probably about 50% of the cases. None of the following should be taken as absolute truth.

Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei Iaido was developed in the 1960s and 70s by an appointed panel of the All Japan Kendo Association (ZNKR or JKA). The original intention was to produce a standard that could be used for gradings nationally and internationally. The idea was to provide a common foundation as a way to unite the various traditional schools of iaido or koryu and to expand the scope of the ZNKR. It was not merely a method to get kendo players to pick up real swords as has been incorrectly assumed.

Dans un souci d'unification et afin de permettre à tout les pratiquants d'avoir une base commune, les experts de la Fédération Japonaise de Kendo (Zen-Nippon-Kendo-Renmei, ZNKR) ont développé une nouvelle école le Seitei-Iai (ou Iai ZNKR) qui comporte aujourd'hui 12 Kata inspirés de Kata de divers Koryu.

- La pratique de SHINDO MUSO RYU JO JUTSU - Shoshin, l'esprit du débutant - Pratiquez, pratiquez, pratiquez - Pratique traditionnelle

This is the first in a continuing series of articles on the Japanese art of iaido the modern discipline or way of drawing the sword that was popularized in the 1930's. It was derived from iaijutsu, a sub-specialization of kenjutsu (sword arts) that was practiced by professional (samurai) warriors and involved methods of drawing the sword and cutting as a single motion. Future articles will focus on concepts that relate to practice and then on specific analyses of kata and basic techniques.

Historique du Muso Shinden Ryu Iaïdo LA TRADITION SHINTO RYU LA TRADITION CHUJO RYU LA TRADITION KAGE RYU Hayashizaki Jinsuke Shigenobu : une existence mystérieuse

Musō shinden ryū (夢想神伝流) est une branche de l'iaidō qui peut avoir comme origine le fondateur de l'iaidō, un samouraï du nom de Hayashizaki Jinsuke Minamoto no Shigenobu. Cette école unique d'escrime (iai) qui naquit pendant la période Edo, a été préservé dans une ligne continue de maîtres à travers les siècles. Elle a été codifiée par maître Nakayama Hakudo (1869 - 1958), et enseigné à travers le monde par maître Takeshi Mitsuzuka et d'autres comme Malcom Tiki Shewan par exemple. Des styles modernes de shinden ryū ont divisés le curriculum en de nombreuses sections.

La grande majorité des écoles de iaido accorde la systématisation du principe de "dégaîner en coupant" à Hayashizaki ; malheureusement le consensus ne s'étend pas à sa biographie. Malgré les efforts de nombreux chercheurs, la vie de ce personnage reste obscure en raison du manque de documents et de l'excès de légendes. La biographie qui va suivre n'a donc pas la prétention d'être exhaustive, il s'agit juste de la compilation des assertions les plus reconnues.
