Iaijutsu Shoden Level : SEIZA MAE - SHOHATTO

Seiza Mae (Shohatto) is the first technique of the shoden or beginners set of waza taught in Muso Jikden Eishin Ryu (Muso Shinden Ryu) Iaijutsu.

This is the first of a set of compilations of videos shot during the 20th century by past masters.

Some of the masters featured in these compilations are :
Kono Hyakuren / 河野百錬 (1898 – 1974) MJER
Yamamoto Harusuke (1892–1978) MJER
Nakayama Hakudō / 中山 博道 (1872 – 1958) MSR
Omori Masao (1911 – 2006) MJER
Hakuo Sagawa (1917 – 2004) MSR
Junichi Haga (1908 - 1966) MSR
Haruna Matsuo / 春名松男 (1926-2002) MJER
Nagae Matasaburo (1910 - ) MSR
Iwata Norikazu (1913 – 2011) MJER


I was not able to identify all of the masters featured in these videos. Your input would be appreciated. Some of them practiced under Oe Masamichi, founder of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu, and Nakayama Hakudo, founder of Muso Shinden Ryu, is featured in a few of these compilations.


May this inspire and help your practice.
