Yushinkan which teaches Yushin-Ryu is an Iai, Kenjutsu, and Tameshigiri Dojo with its headquarters in Osaka, branches in Kyoto, Tokyo, and Mie. About 100 students are training in Yushin-ryu, and I have trained at the Kyoto branch for about a year now, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. There are some interesting unique characteristics to this ryuha that you wouldn’t see anywhere else, so I hope you can watch this video until the end to learn about it.

Thank you Shogo for the amazing video! It was great to see the training, I hope one day I can try it too!
I would love to fly to Japan to go train there, you HAVE NO IDEA. Also, your sensei looks so chill! He really looks like a cool guy.
It takes money to make money.
Wow!
I wanted to ask are there any old samurai or shogun laws that have survived and are still used to this day in Japan
hey shogo, could you please do a video on the Samurai Ryūha?
like the itto-ryu?
Konnichiwa Sensei 🙇♂️ cool Video 🙇♂️⚔️⚔️⚔️
Hi Shogo All your videos are gold. Thax for the effort and time. Can you make a video about Ashi Sabaki in Iaido? Thx
Very enjoyable video! Love your content.
Sadly there aren't any dojo's like this where I live, because this looks super fun.
Nonetheless I like that I can atleast see these sorts of things through your videos. Take care!
According to Shintoism, does soul fell in any situation & anywhere for eternal time after death? Does Shintoism believe in immortal soul for eternal time?
😊😊🥷🏻🏯🎋🔪
i really enjoyed this video and have alot of intrest for it, i really think it was amazing to learn and watch the pepole do the training. You are the person who made me get my intrest for the katana agian, and this time i am very sure i will keep trying the home traning video since i live a place where its hard to find iaido lessons. You have inspeierd me to much there is no way i cant thank you. I wish you great luck in the future shogo-san and thank you so much.

蛤😅？完全看不懂。
I like you're content and videos you're awsome man 🙂
I love your content! I've always wanted to pick up Iai. Do you have any recommendations for a hopefull?
Hi, you channel is very cool. Could you tell us what is the correct way to pronounce "Katana" like the native japan people speaks?
I have a question, how do I tie a sageo?
please can you do a video on Iaido stances for the katana
It is waaaaayyy out of context, but i still want to know your thoughts on that subject.
Have u ever heard about Massacre of Nanking. What do u think on that?
And why japanese government still denying it?
I've been very interested in Iai for a while now and, after watching this video, I might just have to see if I can swing by this coming August when I visit Japan!
Edit: Just made a reservation to come on August 25th! Really looking forward to it!
Hey Shogo last year you did the "find your perfect katana" video. Can you make one for foreigners entering Japan? as I am not sure if I even could buy one when I come to visit Toky next year
I have literally learned something new at every point in this video, especially the Iaido portion. Well done!
nice ,but i came to see you perform the Kuzuryūsen
Shogo, are you and Kazu pure Japanese? your English sounds very natural
I am a month late to the video, but I must say this was really interesting to watch! I love the idea of combining iai, kenjutsu and tameshigiri into one.
Thought you were leaving? Why are you still there?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi, shogo!
Love the video, but I was curious — might we be able to get a video about Uesegi Kenshin sometime, sort of like you did for Miyamoto Musashi?
The problem with making this a business is the tendency that you'll focus more on profit than on your art. You can even see the examples in Disney movies.
To be fair, it is one of the reasons martial arts become stagnant. When you make a cult like organization, profit comes at you regularly. So just dupe the students with sweet words and bogus techniques and don't let them test their martial arts outside the cult.
I just watch your short video about "why Japan slaughtered cats & dogs". But since there seemed no comment section, so I go to this video. The government shouldn't take that action, because it's cruel.
The government should manage the animal to live harmony with human.
To control the dogs/cats, must be sterilized / neutered.
Like ISTANBUL, Turkey, the government take care of them. the dogs & cats live peacefully. This gives wonderful impact to the society that make human happy too.
