MUSO JIKIDEN EISHINRYU | BOKUTO KUMIDACHI

MUSO JIKIDEN EISHINRYU | BOKUTO KUMIDACHI #yoshindojo #kenjutsu #musojikideneishinryu Wiki says: Paired Waza (Kumitachi) Musō Jikiden Eishin-ryū's paired waza (kumitachi, 組太刀, Kenjutsu) are often taught only to advanced students after years of study.[citation needed] Some of these sets are rarely seen outside of Japan. Some ryuha have the first set (tachi uchi no kurai) as part of their yudansha curriculum. There is a high incidence of grappling, striking, and disarms in these paired sets. Some waza use both long (ōdachi) and short (kodachi) swords. Some waza begin with swords drawn; others begin with swords sheathed and employ nukitsuke (drawing) techniques. Typically these forms are practiced using bokutō; however, it is also practiced at high levels with shinken. Each of these katachi (essence of kata) was created to promote practice of a key principle of Eishin Ryu under controlled yet reasonably realistic conditions. Tachi Uchi no Kurai Tachi Uchi no Kurai (太刀打之位) is first kumitachi waza set in Eishin-ryū. Both practitioners use a single long sword. The techniques are performed from a standing position. There are two versions of this set: the original set of 10 waza (Tachi Uchi no Kurai) and the revised set of 7 waza formulated by Ōe Masamichi (also known as Tachi Uchi no Kata). These two sets contain similar techniques. Tachi Uchi no Kurai (Koryū) This version of the set contains the following 10 techniques: 出合 Deai 附込 Tsukekomi 請流 Ukenagashi 請込 Ukekomi 月影 Tsukikage 水月刀 Suigetsutō 絶妙剣 Zetsumyōken 独妙剣 Dokumyōken 心明剣 Shinmyōken 打込 Uchikomi Tachi Uchi no Kurai (Kata devised by Ōe Masaji) This version of the set contains the following 7 techniques:[30] 出合 Deai 拳取 Kobushitori 絶妙剣 Zetsumyōken 独妙剣 Dokumyōken 鍔留 Tsubadome 請流 Ukenagashi 真方 Mappō Tsume Ai no Kurai Tsume Ai no Kurai (詰合之位) is the second kumitachi waza set in Eishin-ryū.
