Tsumeai no Kurai Nagoya Castle 2010

Tsumeai no Kurai is the 2nd set of Koryu kata practiced in Muso Jikiden Eishin ryu.



I came upon this accidentally on Youtube, it was not listed as Tsumeai no Kura, but simply as a demonstration at Nagoya Castle on May 5, 2010.



The way it is demonstrated here is somehow different from what I was taught, but it is the best video I have ever found about it.

BUNKAI for Sodesurigaeshi

 

 

A BUNKAI is a practical application of a technique (waza), the essence of it. As you can see in this video, there may be several Bunkai for each technique.

Practicing a waza without understanding its Bunkai is more Dance than Martial Art. There is nothing wrong about dance, but you have to decide what you want to do. 

The masters demonstrating Sodesurigaeshi's bunkai are : 

• Hakuo Sagawa (1917 – 2004) MSR 
• Iwata Norikazu (1913 – 2011) MJER

 

Note : MJER : Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu; MSR : Muso Shinden Ryu
