居想会の居合（いあい）野送り

This is 無外流 Mugairyu a Japanese koryū martial art school founded by Tsuji Gettan Sukemochi (辻月丹資茂?) in 23 June 1680.

The Sensei's instructions are relatively easy to follow even if one does not understand Japanese. Some fast and beautiful action at 1:58 in the clip.

野送りの居合の動きはシンプルです。真っ向からの敵の刃を体捌きと受け流しで凌ぎ、かわす刃ですかさず敵の首をとります。早く動き出せば追われ、遅ければ敵の刀を捌く事はかないません。居合の実に奥深い要素を秘めています。・居合での抜刀と受け流し敵の刃の間合いを見切り、膝全体を緩め右に重心を移動させます。移動した重心は右足を送ることで均等が生まれますので、同時に上体を右45度上に体を開くように抜刀し、切先をやや跳ね上げます。ただし、居合の動きのように鎬で受けると言っても刀がフラットな状態で受けると、抵抗が大きくなり敵の刀は落ちません。受け流すという事であれば右傾斜した体に添うように刀を操作し鎬で敵の刀を落とすほうが、現実的です。居合での形としてご理解ください。受け流しの稽古では、相手と自分の刀の交点を抵抗なく落とす居合での刀操作を身につけます。・居合での斬り右傾斜した体軸を垂直に戻しつつ、刀の物打ち部分を敵の首に当てます。このとき右足を軸にすると体が回ってしまいますので、体軸を強く意識し刀を右手で振り回さないようにします。右拳が直線的に敵の首に向かうラインをイメージし、肘、肩さらに胸を使い体軸により近い部分で刀を扱うように居合の形を行います。

Google Translate of the above, taken from the "About" in the YouTube post:

· Iai movement of feed field is simple. Surpass in the body handling and parry the blade of the enemy head-on, I take it immediately at the neck of the blade to dodge enemy. If you are busy moving fast, I will not come true that as late as the handle the sword of the enemy. I have really deep hidden elements of Iai. · And parry sword in iaido Vacate the interval of the blade of the enemy, to move the center of gravity to the right to loosen the whole knee. The center of gravity has been moved so equally born by sending the right foot, draw a sword to open the body to the upper body at the same time on the right 45 degrees, I splashed a little point of a sword. However, if you receive a flat sword while also saying ho as received by the movement of Iai, sword of the enemy does not fall resistance increases. Better to drop the sword of the enemy with the sword as ho operate along the body, which is inclined right thing if you parry, but I am realistic. Please understand as a form of Iai. In the practice of the parry is wearing a sword in iaido dropping operation without resistance the intersection of the sword and your opponent. · Kill in Iai While the vertical axis of the body back to the right-leaning, I applied to the neck portion of the enemy's sword out stuff. Because the body would turn to the side of the right foot and this time, I do not swing the sword with the right hand a strong awareness of the body axis. We do a form of Iai to handle a sword with an image of a portion closer to the body axis line right fist towards the enemy in a straight line on the neck, elbow, shoulder further using the chest.
