MenteReligieuse Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Aikido is not a sword drawing style. It is a style who has sources in Daito-Ryu aikijujutsu and other koryus used by ancient samurai. Kinda looks like judo if you wish..but then not quite.
SevenStar Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Hello. Sorry and Thank you for your insight. I have been searching for it and asking around and have asked a freind who cunsulted his Sensei about it and he said he had a vague reference to Battoujutsu as a Technique,not style at all and that it has had changed names possiably. Something about holding the sheathed sword up in a position that would give it a slingshot effect to the draw and a fast horizontal slash. And TY for the mentioning of Idiao. While i was searching around i found a very interesting one, Aikido. Anyways, I am VERY poorly trained in the names of martial arts styles. On another note.I said what i didnt really mean, my friends and i arent really trying to make a style in whole, just a wide area of techniques. Sorry for my incompantance, my martial arts knowled doesnt expand any further than what i got from a TaeKwanDo(i cant spell) teacher teaching me some DT on a military base(as i was born on one) Please excuse the long post : ) Where are you located?
Treebranch Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Aikido schools often teach Iaido. A good kenjutsu school will teach you all the drawing techniques, but I'm pretty sure you will have to study some kind of jujutsu before they let you play with a sword. Budo Taijutsu will teach how to use a sword and lots of other weapons as well along with the fighting ryu. I highly recommend Budo Taijutsu if you want to learn how to handle a sword in a realistic manner. Also like someone mentioned above Daito Ryu Aikijutsu is excellent.

DireEyes Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Aye Aikido isnt sword drawing but i did feel drawn to it for its movements as if one had a sword but when really unarmed. Other than that i found out the name of the other one, i'm a bad speller so dont hut me lol,Idi jujutsu i think it is.(battojutsu was very uncommon name for it). And i'm Located in Louisiana atm, origenally from Pensacola, Florida. if that question was directed to me lol Prolly sounds like * but i just feel whole when i am dancing with a sword...*shrug* I do not congradulate those who are greater than I or those who surpass me. I Respect and Honor them.
