ive been doing arnis for a few years now but im inrested in doing somthing with long swords or even a katana but i wouldnt know where to start is there an kind of basic style which is uniivearsly considerd the basic style i know ots a stupid question but i figure i more likely to get a decent anwser out of you guys then anyone else...probally
yeah but how much of that would actually be decisive cuts? It appears that the side would hit many more times with all the twisting than the blade would...
Positively speaking_ I'm glad tht U have the appreciation & desire to apply your time to train N the use of these "Chinese Longswords". As U practice keep N mind the importance of not only fluidity, but "conviction N purpose"; meaning understnding the difference btwn wht is an actual strike & wht is merely a transition to a posture for "preparation" to strike.....conviction N purpose! I knw U could B an awsome swordsman 1 day. Please keep practicing safely & good luck N your training.
all i would need to do to stop that is put ONE sword in the way of the blades and then the SECOND in to his gut... learn some real sword fighting techniques please...
an amateur video. why not. an advice to make it less amateur: don't lift your leg when you're not supposed to, it's the easiest way for a fighter to take you off balanced.
I love videos like this, not just for the video itself, but for comments from people who know a hell of a lot more about fighting than I do, arguing over a technique's effectiveness or lack thereof, and whether or not the people in the vid actually know what the hell they're doing and if it's a good reference.
In the creator's defense, he DOES write in the description that his is "playing" with the swords. Though it is a tad mileading that the vid title says "technique". In any case, it is clear that any longsword style could undue this pattern in one well-placed blow, whether it be from a simple knight's longsword, a bastard sword, a greatsword, a talwar or shamshir even, rapier, broadsword, or japanese blades like katana, o-katana, nodachi, hell, even chinese gim, taiji, dao, or dadao.
Altough great for show, these techniques lack both power and effectivness. I once had a new student try this against me, and I simply struck his fists as they crossed. This pattern assumes that the other person will be too busy backing away. Once you know the pattern (which is not that hard to find out) you will see that it is very easy to inturrupt.
i agree with tlhoney but if u think about it this movement makes the hands extremely slippery so there are to conclusion in my opinion:1)if u r not very experienced u can cut yourself(because the blades rotate in a random movement manner) or 2) in a fight Vs one or maybe more a hard horizontal blow can make u miss the movement speed u used and break ur concentration,disarming u or even make u hit urself.I think this technique should be used only in a demonstration and not in a real fight.
seems like he uses techniques from poy's. (you know the balls on a robe, and some people put them on fire for show.) Not really martial arts. There are a lot of moment that he is flipping the sword handle, something not favoured in combat. But you what can you tell from one vid.
Poi balls were actually originally developed as a way to practice technique for the patu, mere, and kotiate style clubs. It would not be difficult to adapt the styles to swords, and it would probably work pretty well.
Actually, what he is doing is quite similar to some of the middle-eastern disciplines. If you can do it fast enough, it works surprisingly well when one is dealing with multiple opponents.
Nice to know how to handle a katana like that but there is no such technique which is thought by japanese. Bunch of westerners who doesn't know the real use of katana. No Disrespect. Keep it up!
awesome :)

There are ways of dealing with those issues. Look up T.O.A.S. Nabard's sword techniques.
