アレックス先生、会津藩そして日新館のことを伝えていただきありがとうございます。 Thank you, Professor Alex, for letting us know about the Aizu clan and the Nisshinkan. Merci, professeur Alex, de nous avoir fait connaître le clan Aizu et le Nisshinkan.
Sensei… did you any presentation about life in Tosa? The relation between different classes in Tosa, and maybe how this could create a relation with Meiji restaurarion? Thanks.
This interesting. A coworker of mine just had some genealogy done that shows her as a descendant of the Aizo clan so I've been looking for neat stuff about her history to show her. This looks like a good documentary for that.
Nice video . I still prefer Sengoku (that may be misspelled) period with the warring states . Please dont misinterpret I'm not promoting war I'm simply saying that since the Edo period budo and martial science has been watered down. Just my theory but I believe this is why so many fantasy based martial arts exist today. We can have the mind , body, spirit connection and study the beauty and all that stuff we love without losing the actual martial philosophy and effective techniques. I'm sorry but budo/martial arts purpose is NOT TO END VIOLENCE AND BRING WORLD PEACE THROUGH WATERED DOWN INEFFICIENT AND INEFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES . U can definitely curb violence through discipline in the arts etc. But if we pretend that the point is not to be effective and do bs phoney punches and eliminate the actual power of martial arts well we might as well through out everything and start over. I dont know what happend but at some point the new fantasy based crap took over and now we stuck with mcdojos world wide . Time to revert back to the effective approach to budo Jiu-jitsu/ Jiu-jutsu, original judo (kano Jiu-jitsu) not sport focused eliminating effective techniques thanks alot IJF smh (of course even watered down it's still more effective than things like modern aikido, taekwondo etc) properly trained daito ryu , kendo and other sparring based weapons arts (if not too sport focused ) we are bringing back true budo ppl are starting to see through the bs and real warrior philosophers are coming back . Osu! #armyourself #natoriryu #jjgf #kanojiujitsu #jiujitsuglobal #realjudorealbudo
I fully agree with you, I’ve also found most modern traditional martial arts resemble dance routines and ceremonial displays rather than actual combat Essentially real warrior samurai began to die out in the mid 1600s after the sengoku era ended, and after several decades people made the effort to try and preserve the techniques and skill of their ancestors, but the samurai had no wars to fight and over the centuries these passed down techniques and manuals of combat became more and more watered down and made into an art rather than a simple fighting system. A samurai from 1600 probably would laugh at a samurai from 1800. Also martial arts have been even more tarnished since they became commercialised in the 20th century . Judo fighters and Ju-jutsu guys were still pretty badass in the early 1900s, it’s mostly the spread around the world that has ruined traditional samurai fighting systems
