Yoshioki Sumita

Language: Japanese, English

I'm Yoshioki Sumita of "Toyama-ryu Bizenkai" which offers "Iaido trial cutting" and "Armor and helmet dressing experience" in Machida city, Tokyo. Our ancestors were samurai in Okayama Prefecture, which is famous for Japanese swords. Currently, I am an assistant Iai instructor at the Headquarters Dojo of the All Japan Toyama-ryu Iaido Federation, and I am also an assistant instructor for Yabusame (horseback archery, a Japanese Shinto ritual).

For the last 20 years, I have been visiting overseas branches in America, Europe, and Asia several times a year. In addition, I have been in charge of trial cutting experiences for more than 500 foreign tourists and experiences for foreign VIPs through embassies. In this experience, you will not only be able to actually try cutting, but you will also realize that concentration is important. Through our curriculum, we hope that you will feel the spirit of martial arts, which emphasizes tranquility. Please enjoy the sharpness of a real Japanese sword at a real dojo.

More info A special course for cutting Japanese swords ☆ A guide who has over 20 years of experience as a yabusame instructor at the headquarters dojo of the All Japan Toyama-ryu Iaido Federation offers a special course for cutting Japanese swords. We will guide you safely. Experience the unique way of cutting a Japanese sword.

In this course, you can experience 3 types of swordsmanship (Iai, Gekiken, Trial Slash) as well as Trial Slash while wearing armor.
In Iai, you will learn how to handle and swing a sword, and in Gekiken, you will learn how to keep a distance from moving opponents and how to attack and defend, and you will wear armor.

Trying to cut while wearing armor is heavy, making it more difficult than usual. You can feel the weight experienced by samurai in the past, and realize how hard it was to move while wearing armor. I can do it.
