Cramped space katana quick-draws (Iaijutsu)

@Rainmaker1973 What would he do if I pulled out a gun?

@Rainmaker1973 @grok How long does a person need to train to be able to use a sword like this?

@Rainmaker1973 Cramped space 9mm wins every time

@Rainmaker1973 1番凄いのはこれ。 黒田鉄山先生を彷彿とさせる体捌き。

@Rainmaker1973 Love iai, been practicing for year until I cut tendon 🤣

@Rainmaker1973 Demonstration of Japanese iaido (quick draw sword technique)

@Rainmaker1973 Iaijutsu is the art of drawing the sword and striking in a single moment — where calmness and awareness decide life or death.

@Rainmaker1973 Bushido is the traditional way of life of the samurai, passed down in Japan since ancient times. #Bushido #Samurai #JapaneseWisdom

@Rainmaker1973 i find it funny that your guest/host trying to kill you was such a regular occurrence that they trained for that specific situation

@Rainmaker1973 I don's see a Crusader with a 25kg armour and a Zweihänder, doing this.

@Rainmaker1973 How do I draw in the Strait of Hormuz?

Readiness is how prepared you are for the unexpected. This Iaijutsu master shows exactly that — training to draw and strike flawlessly even when trapped in a space smaller than a phone booth. In real combat (or life), you rarely get the perfect open field. The samurai prepared for the worst: tight corridors, sudden ambushes, zero room to swing. Mastery isn't flashy moves in open space. It's precision under constraint. Stay ready. You never know when the walls close in.

@Rainmaker1973 OG know

@Rainmaker1973 🎶 Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, He was fast as lightening...⚡

@Rainmaker1973 Getting ready in case ninjas show up ... you know, as one does

@Rainmaker1973 At that range I'd go with grappling first, to get a better position, and then you can hack away.

@Rainmaker1973 Great skill. Watch this, my favourite movie on japan. youtu.be/w-KoebXfESM?is…

@Rainmaker1973 @grok is this true?

@Rainmaker1973 So, if anyone is sitting in that special way, one foot forward, with one hand cupping the neck of his sword, he's ready to strike you. And you allow him to sit there undisturbed?

@Rainmaker1973 Practicing laijutsu draws in a space that small requires the kind of body control where the blade is an extension of the practitioner rather than an object being wielded.

@Rainmaker1973 Who’s gonna get close to that guy?

@Rainmaker1973 Nah the Japanese cooked with that sword holy shit.

@Rainmaker1973 Awesome. Director Akira Kurosawa asked Tatsuya Nakadai to learn this technque for the final duel in 'Sanjuro' with Toshiro Mifune. Sanjuro (1962) — The Final Samurai Showdown youtu.be/UkkF6Zz67TE?si… via @YouTube

@Rainmaker1973 If i was Japanese i would honestly do shit like this too. What’s the point otherwise

@Rainmaker1973 wakizashi for tight quarters, no?

@Rainmaker1973 Another job that ai will replace.. oh wait..

@Rainmaker1973 I especially love the wink at the end! Yes, you KNOW you are good.. and we know it too! Impressed! 👌🏽👏🏽

@Rainmaker1973 I want these guys to have an actual use for this skill😂

@Rainmaker1973 So to draw it in a cramped space you increase the space? That's genious.

@Rainmaker1973 Very, very impressive use of space, time & the tool. 👍🏻

@Rainmaker1973 Training for making a sandwich with a regular bread knife in a New York apartment.

@Rainmaker1973 Never trust a dinner guest, no matter how nice they might seem. lol

@Rainmaker1973 Where would this be useful?
