Kristoffer Lawson<p>Is there anyone who does <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/iaido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iaido</span></a> or <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/koryu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>koryu</span></a> <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/kenjutsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kenjutsu</span></a> who would recognise the chiburi from this kata (<a href="https://attractive.space/tags/AikiToho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AikiToho</span></a> by <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/aikido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aikido</span></a> sensei <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Nishio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nishio</span></a>)?</p><p>I’m not sure how well the hive mind on Mastodon will work but I’ve been looking for the answer for some time. Some charts list it as a chiburi from <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/SuioRyu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuioRyu</span></a> while others don’t. High ranking people from Suio Ryu didn’t recognise it. A practitioner of Aiki Toho stated error in table. But I haven’t been able to link to any other school. </p><p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uiiu3YeKTEc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">m.youtube.com/watch?v=uiiu3YeK</span><span class="invisible">TEc</span></a></p>

faraiwe<p>殺人 権 が 活人 権 だ</p><p>"satsu-jin ken ga katsu-jin ken da"</p><p>lit</p><p>"[a] kill-man sword [is/also] [a] live-man sword is"</p><p>"A sword which kills is also the sword which allows life".</p><p>Traditional <a href="https://beige.party/tags/kenjutsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kenjutsu</span></a> dictum. Many meanings. When you take a life to protect a life, you still took a life. The killing weapon is also a life-affording tool.</p>
Kristoffer Lawson<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@faraiwe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>faraiwe</span></a></span> yes I’m aware <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/DaitoRyu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DaitoRyu</span></a> <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/Takeda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Takeda</span></a> practised Ono Ha <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/IttoRyu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IttoRyu</span></a> <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/kenjutsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kenjutsu</span></a>. What’s less clear is if he ever taught <a href="https://attractive.space/tags/aikido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aikido</span></a> founder Ueshiba the Itto Ryu stuff. I would welcome any valid sources that would state that as it would be quite new insight. </p><p>The bokken I use in Ono Ha Itto Ryu is not, btw, the same as Iwama bokken. It is thick, yes, and relatively straight, but has a pointy end.</p>

Both positions are beginner-friendly and provide a sense of safety, but their extended blades limit offensive capabilities and can make practitioners vulnerable to binds and displacements. Most <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/kenjutsuka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kenjutsuka</span></a> use Chûdan while standing still and Seigan while moving.</p>
Aria Burrell 🇨🇦<p>Another thing about me time!</p><p>I'm a former <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/MartialArtist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MartialArtist</span></a>. I studied My Jong Law Horn <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/KungFu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KungFu</span></a> for years. It was pretty high-impact (fractured a metatarsal, broke my nose once) so I took it easy afterward and studied a little bit of <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/TaiChiChuan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaiChiChuan</span></a>.</p><p>Years later I took up <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/Aikido" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aikido</span></a> and Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu alongside <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/Kenjutsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kenjutsu</span></a> and <a href="https://xn--xxa.computer/tags/Iaijutsu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iaijutsu</span></a>.</p><p>Now I'm a lump whose idea of exercise is going up and down stairs. 😉</p>
