well this man has been training since a little before world war 2. if your style is legitimate then it is not inferior, just different. modern iaido/kendo are very good at their purposes, which is differnt then this school. this school was developed for the medieval battlefield.

I have practiced a combined form of Japanese swordsmanship for most of my life and I'm still light years away from these guys in all areas. Maybe I'm just still young or my style is somehow inferior or diluted.

it depends on what you are talking about, if you want to do those flashy/for-entertainment-show-only moves ,any light weight/aluminum sword would do ,just google it, but if you feel inspired by this video and you are interested in Aikido, google about it, and try to find a good real sword (it doesnt have to be sharp to practice Aikido).

You have to go to Chiba, it's near Tokyo. The shrine and dojo is there. You have to make a blood oath to the god of the shrine and swear an oath to uphold the principles, not talk about the secrets learned in the school, and to not cross swords with anyone without permission.

There are Iaido schools in America, but they are kind of rare. Sometimes Kendo dojos also offer Iaido.

yes the purpose of chiburi is, in theory, to remove blood from the blade. however, as my battodo teacher points out, it is questionable as to how much blood it would get off. in reality it probably comes from just a quick battlefield removal of the blood so that it is not running all down the sword. a warrior probably would not really resheath it without AT LEAST using something to really wipe the blood off. however it is still a part of any japanese sword drawing art that i know of.
