Don't you guys love it that Shogo is already an experienced swordsman but is humble enough to train from step 1 as a begginer here? That's a real martial artist
It's quite amazing how the teacher 1) identified that Shogo practices Iaido, and 2) which school he is from, simply from the way he sheaths. A very well made, and very educational, video yet again. I am a big fan of your work.
His niten ichi-ryu was smooth, Miyamoto Musashi would've looked like that in real life. Controlling two swords with different length and weight is hard.
It is really neat. Its completely different, but at the same time its so similar. We all made the same weapons in completely different places because our bodies are the same.
It’s also interesting how alike they are too. You can train in longsword and pick up a katana with little to no drawback. I’m sure some things like drawing and sheathing might be a bit strange to a western fighter. But again essentially they are both long swords
I’d love to see if these instructors would let a German come try this with a zweihander. Another longsword but you know BIGGER I think that would be an interesting culture mix maybe even get different people into these arts
That was a great observation to drop your weight lower as you go down the mat! I could see that you were focusing extra on your stance with the 2nd mat and the results speak for themselves. He's clearly a good teacher.
What sea you crossin' ? Sadly I can no longer achieve such as my first oversea trip was to Sweden But better late than never I have decades remaining to visit japan still
A true master swordsman is humble, and respectful. Shogo was humble enough to train from step one. And indulge the master if the Dojo. Not just for the video, but just respect. And I thought the master did well. Shogo is a true honourable samurai. Thank you.
Shogo, You are constantly adding to my list of things to do when I can get a chance to visit. Thank you for another wonderful video, between this and the Samurai experience, I am really looking forward to go.
Both suits of armor were beautiful! A very difficult choice: the fearsome mempo of Shogo's suit, or the iconic lacquered steel plate of Kazu's? I've seen many depictions of samurai with their sheathed katanas held forward, partway out of their belts. I never understood the significance until the (amazing) instructor explained the history of the position. I'm indebted to Shogo for sharing this!
my respect for the samurai just went up about 30 notches. that's really impressive that they were able to maneuver the way that they did in all that armor
I be love how you remained teachable and humble to the point the instructor had to notice your form in order to know you were experienced in a similar martial art
29:23 Wow! That's Miyamoto Musashi's dual-wield style. I know that Miyamoto Musashi is one of the best swordsman in Japan, he's also my favorite samurai as well. Thank you for making a video like demonstrating how to use a katana to slash tatami mats, etc. I also want to learn a Japanese culture from you Shogo! 🇵🇭❤️🇯🇵
When I first practiced tameshigiri it was a full roll. I wore armor as part as my kit (as infantry soldier and private contractor) but never worn Samurai Yoroi. Cutting in yoroi is an experience I still need to try. This is awesome!
I fight in European armor with my HEMA group. I can say over time and practice you get used to it. A tailored fit can also help distribute the weight but absolutely it is a lot of extra weight.
@@toxi87 but samurai armor is a bit different in a sense a lot of moving flapping armors as well.. in fact i knew it would be heavy but not this heavy.. its just amazing how these guys run around wearing these back in the day..
@@SiD19884 Yeah the weight distribution on samurai armour is considerably less generous than a lot of the later European configurations. Apparently the O-yoroi type that was common among the wealthier samurai was so heavy (30kg) that it was only very rarely worn when dismounted.
As a hugeeeeee fan of samurai armor history, seeing a place like this that allows one to wear it and perform cutting techniques is truly magical. I've been wanting to gather a large collection of armor for giving free public lectures on the history, form and function of samurai armor across the centuries but this video made me rethink and tell myself, 'I can go bigger than that...' Now, I am going to try my damndest to gather a collection and open a business where people can learn all about these legendary warriors and have fun photoshoots like its the Gempei War or Sengoku Jidai depending on what era of armor strikes their fancy. (O-yoroi or haramaki all the way personally!) Thank you for expanding what my dream could be, Shogo!
This was incredible and eye opening to see how heavy that armor actually is. I dont normally look at videos like this but seeing the way different cultures are i might fly out to japan for a couple of days.
Thank you for this amazing video as always. I love Japanese culture but above all katana training. I don't do katana training but i would like to come to Japan and train there. So thank you for this amazing video.
This is such a beautiful video! To see those magnificent and MAJESTIC armors blew my mind! They are truly exquisitd! I still can't comprehend how the samurias were able to fight wearing such heavy gear. It's unbelievable and I have an even greater respect for them than I already had. The katanas are also magnificent. Also, love your posture when mat cutting! Thank you for this video!
I'm absolutely impressed! This is one of the things I invision to do if I manage to visit Kyoto one day. It would be a dream holiday! Must've felt like you could fly after taking of the armor. XD Thx for bringing out such videos so regularly. Arigato gozaimasu Shogo!
This video has made my Drawing and sheathing my Katana so much better. Also the tip about pinching the spine of the Katana as you sheathe it is so clutch. Having never been to any classes or anything (mainly cause they don't exist where I live) videos like this that really show proper form on how to do things is so helpful to the self taught.
Thank you for watching! I now work here is the interpreter, so if you’re interested I hope you can make a reservation! www.airbnb.com/experiences/4577764?locale=en
this video is SO cool! thanks alot for making and sharing this! i actually know how you must have felt in this thick armour. i used to roleplay as a full plate armoured knight for 4-6 hours a day for 4 days on a large scale event in the summer sun! it is immensly tiring to wear heavy armour for several hours consecutively. :) i would love to one day try wearing a suit of japanese style armour! thanks alot!
28:17 As armor continued to evolved daggers became more of a highly prioritized weapon to bring in case your main weapon is either lost or damaged beyond use. For example knights, as mail was the main armor before and swords were a primary weapon. But as armor evolved swords slowly became a secondary weapon to use as weapons such as bludgeons and axes became more common to help with armor destruction. I believe Samurai did the same as Katanas stayed by their hips and Naginatas, Yari, Tachi and bows were more of a primary weapon.
This is an experience I would love to have on a trip to Japan. Along with the ninja dojo. Thanks for your videos! P.S. do you know of anyone who has done videos regarding things in and around Iga?
ruclips.net/video/QssD1riUYHY/видео.html We went to the Ninja Dojo too in Kyoto, the instructor is a Iga born man who is a official instructor of the Nindo association! If you have any questions maybe you can contact him😊
I figured out moves and read up and finally taught classes, in South Africa. It's so cool to see how much I got right, but, the ending was super cool. Cutting a iece of flying tatami and using two swords, probably just like the samurai did, was amazing. I learnt so much. Thank you. Wish I could be there
I am from Serbia i love Japan and Japan history i read Bushido and i love samurai heritage i would love one day to visit Japan and expirience the way of samurai life
Great video! I love your mission, your enthusiasm, and your spirit. As a former US Army officer, I wonder if the armor would feel familiar, or alien? You’ve renewed my determination to go see Japan, but not just as an anime factory. Rather, I hope to see it a bit more as it actually was, and with your help, as it could be :)
As I personally wore both european medieval and modern armor, I can say those two feel distinct from dach other. Curious about the japanese style of armor, since it is attached in a very different way.
I was an 11B and just from looking at it it should feel pretty similar I’d say, the weight is exactly the same as my IOTV was without the extras attached when you add on the extras like the yoke collar sapi plates etc it’ll be heavier and the armor itself is shaped pretty much the same as well
Oh man this is the first time I've seen a Yagyu style/derivative move done live! Really cool! I also love living vicariously through your experiences. I felt like a 12 year old otaku again watching you and kazu go through this experience!

Thank you for all your very interesting and informative video's Shogo. You both looked AMAZING in your Samurai Armor. i love watching and learning even at my age .
Thank you again for this video! Hope I can take note of all the wonderful places and experiences you have presented on the channel. I remember different Ryuhas like the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu have parades on the Katori Shrine and the members would wear Samuari Armor on a parade. :)
Amazing! Thank you for introducing these new Arts and Content it's really entertaining, definitely try to take that opportunity when the time comes in the future
Hello guys all the way from San Carlos,Arizona. San Carlos Apache Tribe. All my life I've had such respect and admiration for Japanese culture. I enjoy your channel .
I'm now reminded of all my sensei taught me as a teen before he went back to japan after he turned 60, and my kendo club and the kata we do every week.
im from iran and im absolutely in love with japanese culture , katana , samurais , samurai armor , mempo , everything japanese 😅 and japanese people manners wish i was living there :) also you guys look really chill and im sure it would be fun to hang out with you
I liked the video because I always wondered how they drew those gigantic swords from their sheaths. The idea of pulling the sheath back is something I never considered. Congrats on one million subscribers and I will be looking at your other videos to learn more.
I was in Kyoto two weeks ago. Flew in from Australia.Even stayed a few blocks from here. And only now do I discover it. Guess I've gotta go back one day to experience this place.
Just WOW! I can't believe you can actually do this and it's a lot cheaper than expected. When I am in Kyoto (hopefully) next year this will be on othe top of my list.
Thank you for letting us join you on this experience Shogo! This confirms that the earlier o-yoroi was indeed pretty heavy beause they were basically hanging on the shoulder. At least compared to the later tosei-gusoku that were tapered down the waist so it doesn't feel as heavy (i think it was already inspired by western armor design?).
The Master not only has a Fully fledged katana, he has a wakizashi to go along with it. Basically a daisho He wields the katana with much finesse, it's beautiful to look at if I do say so myself. Unfortuanetly I've never been able to train with katana but I look forward to.
This is such a cool experience, and have more respect for the samurai warriors. How they ran and fought in that heavy and restricting Armour is beyond me
Around 5:35, when the instructor discusses "Who is guilty" when two Samurai fight, I found it very interesting when comparing it to current laws regarding firearms. Brandishing a firearm can be considered a threat and justify self-defense in many places, thus placing the guilt upon the one who drew their "sword" first; brandishing could definitely be compared to drawing a sword on someone. Interesting how modern laws regarding guns can be compared with old laws regarding swords.

Cutting that mat in armour was defientively different from doin it without....
Hello my friend I'm very interested in this experience, is there a way to speak to you other then youtube?
disappointed, the video title is misleading, the mats were not in armor at all 😜
Don't you guys love it that Shogo is already an experienced swordsman but is humble enough to train from step 1 as a begginer here? That's a real martial artist
🙏🙏🙏
Yes,I'm VERY thankful for this!
I love it when Seto-san caught on to this as well
It definitely can help other class mates learn from the higher up's form and even boost their want to learn more
it is know that even masters train the groundings, in every mathial art.
It's quite amazing how the teacher 1) identified that Shogo practices Iaido, and 2) which school he is from, simply from the way he sheaths.
A very well made, and very educational, video yet again. I am a big fan of your work.
I was very surprised too when he knew which style I belong to! It definitely proves that he is very experienced and skilled✨
@@LetsaskShogo it’s like when an anime character calls you out for holding back
@@LetsaskShogo Thanks for making cool videos!
which minute did he guessed which school he is from?
@@einfachilya6903 It's a long video to go hunt for it but it's the part where it says Eishin-ryu in the subtitles.
So cool how swordsmen from different schools recognize each other's style by looking at the techniques.
26:11 the thought of a samurai gently clapping for you and saying you're awesome is hilarious
29:28 OMG I did NOT expect that! he's an incredible instructor. I'm glad I stayed till the end. Thank you, Shogo.
i know right, that was really cool
His niten ichi-ryu was smooth, Miyamoto Musashi would've looked like that in real life. Controlling two swords with different length and weight is hard.
@@aericacio seeing miyamoto musashi in real life would be a terror
A dangerous man
He became zoro fr
It is really interesting how different it is from western sword play.
And this instructor was truly amazing.
Yes, he is a very kind and great teacher!
It is really neat. Its completely different, but at the same time its so similar. We all made the same weapons in completely different places because our bodies are the same.
It’s also interesting how alike they are too. You can train in longsword and pick up a katana with little to no drawback. I’m sure some things like drawing and sheathing might be a bit strange to a western fighter. But again essentially they are both long swords
I’d love to see if these instructors would let a German come try this with a zweihander. Another longsword but you know BIGGER I think that would be an interesting culture mix maybe even get different people into these arts
@Loki of Asgard if you try and use a katana like a long sword your gonna end up bending or breaking the katana
That was a great observation to drop your weight lower as you go down the mat! I could see that you were focusing extra on your stance with the 2nd mat and the results speak for themselves. He's clearly a good teacher.
👍
Shogo, you are 100% responsible for making Japan my first overseas trip 😁 can't wait to be able to travel!
😎😎😎
Same
I swear 😅
What sea you crossin' ?
Sadly I can no longer achieve such as my first oversea trip was to Sweden
But better late than never
I have decades remaining to visit japan still
Shogo's plan to go undercover and unravel the dojo's secret sword techniques fell apart when the instructor noticed how he sheathed his katana
I like how this video already has likes without being posted yet, just shows how much love there is in the community he made.
A true master swordsman is humble, and respectful. Shogo was humble enough to train from step one. And indulge the master if the Dojo. Not just for the video, but just respect. And I thought the master did well.
Shogo is a true honourable samurai. Thank you.
And the Master with the moves at the end. A true master.
Shogo, You are constantly adding to my list of things to do when I can get a chance to visit. Thank you for another wonderful video, between this and the Samurai experience, I am really looking forward to go.
Both suits of armor were beautiful! A very difficult choice: the fearsome mempo of Shogo's suit, or the iconic lacquered steel plate of Kazu's?
I've seen many depictions of samurai with their sheathed katanas held forward, partway out of their belts. I never understood the significance until the (amazing) instructor explained the history of the position. I'm indebted to Shogo for sharing this!
my respect for the samurai just went up about 30 notches. that's really impressive that they were able to maneuver the way that they did in all that armor
The following night: Shogo has nightmares of murderous tatami mats chasing him with katanas, crying out for vengeance.
It's the sword-frogs you've really got to look out for.
😱😱😱
🤣❤
Finally, last week you made a video about ninja, and now you made video about samurai, finally!!!!!!!
10:16
This man is a sharp eyed teacher. It also does your instructors/dojos credit that he could cite their names from watching you sheath once
I be love how you remained teachable and humble to the point the instructor had to notice your form in order to know you were experienced in a similar martial art
This looks very cool
29:23 Wow! That's Miyamoto Musashi's dual-wield style. I know that Miyamoto Musashi is one of the best swordsman in Japan, he's also my favorite samurai as well. Thank you for making a video like demonstrating how to use a katana to slash tatami mats, etc. I also want to learn a Japanese culture from you Shogo! 🇵🇭❤️🇯🇵
Can we just appreciate the free education and the humility Shogo showed in his video.
Exact point of Kazu feeling the sheer pressure of his ancestor's spirits watching him 14:46
much love from Turkey
When I first practiced tameshigiri it was a full roll. I wore armor as part as my kit (as infantry soldier and private contractor) but never worn Samurai Yoroi. Cutting in yoroi is an experience I still need to try. This is awesome!

The guys with horses got it easy.
I hope you guys can bring back the soul of Japan with just your videos. You guys have a very tremendous history.
As a hugeeeeee fan of samurai armor history, seeing a place like this that allows one to wear it and perform cutting techniques is truly magical. I've been wanting to gather a large collection of armor for giving free public lectures on the history, form and function of samurai armor across the centuries but this video made me rethink and tell myself, 'I can go bigger than that...'

(O-yoroi or haramaki all the way personally!) Thank you for expanding what my dream could be, Shogo!
The instructor at the end, cutting the already cut end while it's falling! Absolutely insane.
I love the frog and the rabbit drawings 🤩
I’m currently planning a trip to Japan and I was looking for things to do in Kyoto and I think I’ve found it! Thank you!
At last a video with samurai armor in practice 😎👌
Excellent work, Shogo. It's one thing reading about, and another one, seeing them on.
Do you know Metatron's channel? He has his own set of armour and he uses it in many of his videos, you should check him out. ^ ^
This was incredible and eye opening to see how heavy that armor actually is. I dont normally look at videos like this but seeing the way different cultures are i might fly out to japan for a couple of days.
omg that was the best thing on RUclips thank you for this it made my day and i know you guys enjoyed it wow thanks you I bow and say thanks
Thank you for this amazing video as always. I love Japanese culture but above all katana training. I don't do katana training but i would like to come to Japan and train there. So thank you for this amazing video.

That was an amazing display. The armor is so intricate and beautiful. The cutting was very cool as well

Hello everyone, and thank you for watching my videos!

I'm planning a trip next year! Please keep showing cool historical events I could attend! Thank you!
Thank you again for this video! Hope I can take note of all the wonderful places and experiences you have presented on the channel.
I remember different Ryuhas like the Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu have parades on the Katori Shrine and the members would wear Samuari Armor on a parade. :)
Yes I’ve seen the parades before too! Now I know how hard it is😂
Amazing! Thank you for introducing these new Arts and Content it's really entertaining, definitely try to take that opportunity when the time comes in the future
I love learning about other cultures and your channel has been nothing but a treat, Shogo. I thank you for your wonderful videos!
Definitely an experience to try. Thank you for spreading the beauty of Japanese culture in our day. Greetings from Italy. Peace.
Hello guys all the way from San Carlos,Arizona. San Carlos Apache Tribe. All my life I've had such respect and admiration for Japanese culture. I enjoy your channel .
I'm now reminded of all my sensei taught me as a teen before he went back to japan after he turned 60, and my kendo club and the kata we do every week.
Well done Shogo! Well done indeed!
Those O'Yoroi looked spectacular on both of you!
This is super cool and informative!
I’m glad you say so! Hope you can come to experience it too✨

That looked amazing! Truly, Japan is an amazing place. Maybe in another life I could visit this grand place...
I missed this place the last time I was in Kyoto. Maybe next time I shall visit. Thank you Shogo for showing us this.
I'm very surprised at how enjoyable was this video. Thank you for your hard work.
Wow! What an amazing experience to offer! I'd definitely want to put this on my 'to do when I make it to Japan' list.
im from iran and im absolutely in love with japanese culture , katana , samurais , samurai armor , mempo , everything japanese 😅 and japanese people manners wish i was living there :)
also you guys look really chill and im sure it would be fun to hang out with you
I am jealous of your experience!! And Shogo san you looked so impressive and menacing in that authentic armor! Sugoi!
I loved watching every step, so cool!
I liked the video because I always wondered how they drew those gigantic swords from their sheaths. The idea of pulling the sheath back is something I never considered. Congrats on one million subscribers and I will be looking at your other videos to learn more.
Yup.. This earned you my subscription. Don't doubt your talent, Watashi no yūjin. Great job and Arigatò.
This was awesome! This one video has some of the best close up shots of Samurai armor being put on.
I was in Kyoto two weeks ago. Flew in from Australia.Even stayed a few blocks from here. And only now do I discover it. Guess I've gotta go back one day to experience this place.
You did it ! So proud of you, Shogo ! 😊
Well I am planning to go to Japan after I finish with college I will definatly need to visit this trip it was nice watching you guys.
Just WOW! I can't believe you can actually do this and it's a lot cheaper than expected.
When I am in Kyoto (hopefully) next year this will be on othe top of my list.
Thank you for letting us join you on this experience Shogo!
This confirms that the earlier o-yoroi was indeed pretty heavy beause they were basically hanging on the shoulder. At least compared to the later tosei-gusoku that were tapered down the waist so it doesn't feel as heavy (i think it was already inspired by western armor design?).
Hello Shogo, I really love this kind of experience, I hope to visit Japan sometime with my wife, it's our dream!! Thank you for this kind of content
I love the frog artwork, especially the scared one looking at the tip of the blade. 😨🥺
Definitely one of my favorite videos you've done. Thank you. It was such a gift!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow!!!!! Great video shogo!!!! I’m so happy you made this video!!!!! 5 Stars!!!!! This looks like something I want to try!!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really enjoyed watching this, only an experience you could get in Japan.
The Master not only has a Fully fledged katana, he has a wakizashi to go along with it.
Basically a daisho
He wields the katana with much finesse, it's beautiful to look at if I do say so myself. Unfortuanetly I've never been able to train with katana but I look forward to.
Вы молодцы ребята очень приятно смотреть ваши традиции и экскурсии.
always cool to see you guys supporting businesses, place looks very cool, samurai armor always fascinated me as well
Espectacular la experiencia, que maravilla poder aprender sobre vuestra cultura.
I admire Shogo’s character so much
Shugo was soo happy lol, great video👍
Another great video... You guys did an amazing job... and looked really COOOOOL!
Красиво, эффектно, интересно!!!
Отличный ролик.
И приятно, что автор из Японии, то есть из страны первоисточника, есть основания доверять.
This is such a cool experience, and have more respect for the samurai warriors. How they ran and fought in that heavy and restricting Armour is beyond me
Seeing you guys dressed in the beautiful armor looked soo cool! Love the video shogo! You guys have Impressive cutting skills
Thank you for this amazing video! This reminds me of dressing up and playing as warriors as a child. Very cool!
Around 5:35, when the instructor discusses "Who is guilty" when two Samurai fight, I found it very interesting when comparing it to current laws regarding firearms. Brandishing a firearm can be considered a threat and justify self-defense in many places, thus placing the guilt upon the one who drew their "sword" first; brandishing could definitely be compared to drawing a sword on someone. Interesting how modern laws regarding guns can be compared with old laws regarding swords.
Amazing gentlemen!!!!!. I'm in Yamaguchi on the JET Program right now and I am putting this on my list of must do's when I get up to Kyoto!!!!!!!
This looks amazing. I will be in Kyoto in September, so this is on the list for sure 😍🙏
