Kalman Csoka Double Swords at Diamond Nationals 2007

[Deksfilms]

go carmen, go

[LARSONx39]

It was to hide footwork

[visualkei72]

somebody has been watching too much anime.

[MsHannahElisabeth]

just because we do this for show doesn't mean that we can't actually fight ... good job kalman !!!

[freshk71]

pretty cool

[IceSick88]

VERY weak routine. Didnt do one thing with his left hand.

[omartist]

HAHAHA, ok guys in the event that we need to have a sword battle, we will call you awesome samurais ROFL, listen, kalman is a martial artist, a real one, he can fight, and he can use his sword to cut for real if he needs to this is a SHOW and in this show he is the best, I LOVE YOU GUYS! pure entertainment with the "wouldnt last in a sword battle" i ask, whens the last sword battle anyone has been in? BAHAHAHAHAH

[zenaku85]

lame. and those people can't shut up already. nobody cares if you know him.

[alvinhdavenport]

um do those big pants have a combat advantage or is it just for tradition?

honest question

[karatecat3]

tradition, samurais wore them so it would hide their footwork and make them look like they were floating.

[Aegis82]

@karatecat3 Not exactly... The hakama is a pair of samurai riding chaps that they would wear to protect the clothing underneath from dust and horse sweat. Nothing to do with hiding their footwork. It then became a part of training tradition.

[zenaku85]

@alvinhdavenport it's both. those big pants(hakama) are very flexible to move around. when kneeling and stand up quickly during a sword fight and more.depends can't find word to explain it. but it does has advantage over tight pants.

[RajaJayasinghe]

wow nice moves but i want to beat those bastards talking all the time. shut the fuck up stupid cunts ..

[oscar311]

for people who thinks that some of the moves aren't practical, obviously in our age we don't use sword skills for 'real fights' anymore, we got cops and the military for that... or our lawyers... so I appreciate this more as an art form than something used in combat situation (now that we have guns etc.).. as an sport-art I think this is quite good..

[braaaaaap2234]

BEAST

[chamrock9]

r those sword reel dat dey can cut demselfs???

[diggdawg89]

@chamrock9 Fail

[DiabSoulBooker]

@chamrock9 is it cool where you're from to pretend you're ignorant and can't speak or spell correctly? honest question.

[chamrock9]

@DiabSoulBooker does it friken matter how i speak!.?honest question.

[DiabSoulBooker]

@chamrock9 I suppose it all depends on whether or not you want to be taken seriously in life, or if you want people to dismiss everything you say, simply because you can't construct a sensible sentence.

[chamrock9]

@DiabSoulBooker i dont care wat people think about me if dey dnt like my writing than dey can go screw themselfs!

[stealthbeast]

I'm waiting for someone to do this, have it slip out of their hands, and harpoon someone across the room.

[meinfuhrerr]

Megszólalhatna Kálmán!!!

Szép magyar neve van!

[meinfuhrerr]

Can not you see?

:(

[meinfuhrerr]

This is a joke!

[grimsdyke]

@meinfuhrerr Why is it a joke?

[DerMalus]

go calvin D:

[MudScarf]

@panssi

Yeah...

It was a bit embarrassing to watch most of the time, but a few of the moves were extremely cool.

[xayakosalim]

all kids who is watching this rigth now, my advice go and learn some decent kendo, iaido or kenjutsu

[Theta4]

I find Calman's friends extremely annoying. I wonder if what they were trying to achieve by screaming "let's go, calman," over and over again.

[covingtonium]

yeah they probably wouldn't think swords were so cool if they actually got cut with one

[Karateforlife777]

Pussy.. What a FAggot. Those are fake swords. Hollowed out Aluminum. Pretendign to be a samurai in a gay hakama that is too short. Thats the problem with american MA these days. To many Faggots in them. And this is what you get.

[njannini]

A man who has one multiple national and world champions? Silly us, we must have a desire to be successful.

[Karateforlife777]

World Champuion? By whos standards.? Anyone can put on a tournament and call it a world championship. Thats the way the amateur system works. It's a fact that there are over 800 world championships in the US held every year in the Martial Arts world. Do the math motard.

[njannini]

According to NASKA. Many Many times. Do you know what that is? Or are you just a closed-minded biggot like most YouTube morons?

[Karateforlife777]

@njannini NASKA is owened by point fighter duche bag Larry Carnahan. It has no real standing in the martia larts world. It's a pure invention of his imagination and it's simply a for profit venture. Nothing to do with BUDO.

[njannini]

NASKA has nothing to do with budo? So I guess all the traditional divisions are a load of crap, right?

[Karateforlife777]

@njannini besides the term Sport Karate is an oximoron. In this case you are the moron. There is no such thing as sport-karate duche..!

[njannini]

You mean aside from the fact that karate is a sport? That they're competing in a tournament? What would you consider "sport karate"? And please, if you're going to try to insult me, try to spell it right. You're just proving to everyone that your a child with a big mouth.

[MovieMaker61]

@njannini Njannini I just wanted to point out that in your comment back about spelling things wrong you actually spelled "your" wrong. It was a contraction of "you are" so it should have been "you're." Thanks for your time. See I just used it there ya tard!!

[njannini]

Movemaker, I used they're every time in that post because I said "you are" in every case. Not sure what you think you're reading.

[njannini]

On a more personal note, you seem to be spouting off quite a bit about faggots, pussies, gay hakamas, and American MA. For someone that's trying to illustrate a point, you're not helping yourself by using such childish vulgarities. If you don't like it, don't watch. Simple, yes?

[njannini]

And as far as your statement, "Thats the problem with american MA these days. To many Faggots in them." That's racist, and ignorant. Extreme martial arts tournaments are held all over the world with competitors from all over the world. People like you shouldn't start talking when you don't know what you're talking about.

[abomenteRaizh]

He could beat your tiny ass!

[MudScarf]

@Karateforlife777

Don't be such an idiot, this has nothing to do with martial arts; it's just supposed to look impressive.

But I'm not about to argue with someone named "Karateforlife777". You're either a clever troll or a complete loser.

You have no place calling anyone a faggot.

[Karateforlife777]

Shut up Motard. And Go and suck your daddys shit infested dick faggot.

[MudScarf]

@Karateforlife777

u mad? :D

What I do with my time is my own business, and my father can't help his disorder.

[legendarygrave]

great display... but that's all.. display... lack of spirit and true swordsmanship. This is the real problem in how, especially USA, turned true art and culture into system and sport. Stripping down the spiritual and cultural lifestyle of those who in ancient times lived by the sword... and died by it. Again, very good for a sportsman, but not much for a true swordsman. When you learn to live and respect the art beyond a sport or a hobby then you will reach wholeness and perfection.

[FnarEva]

@legendarygrave

I understand these are sort of..erm...display routines...with martial arts inspiration, right?

Because as you pointed out there is nothing of swordsmanship in it.

I guess it's how seriously they take themselves. If it is not meant to be a martial art, then it's ok.

But if it is...tsuki..tsuki...tsuki... pure and open target during all the time.

As a kendoka I find this highly amusing.

[travisanderson7]

@FnarEva Swordsmanship involves split second timing, a profound understanding of body mechanics, timing and psychology. All of this goes into a methodology that demands perfection of technique or death. There isn't a second chance with a sword and trying to make it appear "fun" and "extreme" only tries to deny the true heritage of the art they bastardize.

[CaptainLutra]

@FnarEva i totally agree with you

[dikburunlu]

nice...

but who has orgasm while the performance? :S

[OculusDraconis]

I loved it but I just wanted the people taping it to SHUT THE FUCK UP

[FluffyPi]

can't blame them cheering him on lol

[OculusDraconis]

touche

[FluffyPi]

xP lol

[kiloshinoda]

he looks like Tom Cruise from The Last Samurai with his long hair (:

A very spectacular duel katana form.

[josephcutino]

"Xtreme Jealousy right here." - I been on that stage more times then all your friends combined, at my level I don't even consider to reconize the word Jealousy. bottom line. HE RELEASED HIS WEAPON FROM HIS HANDS, like all these new extreme forms doing flips and fancy moves, in a padded room with me and you, i'd be the one walking out, also "calvin" ran out of cardio after 2 minutes? BLOW ME

[njannini]

Joseph, "at your level" you should have more respect for others. It appears you need to be knocked down a notch yourself.

[SithV1]

Kalman Csoka is the most talented Xtreme Swordsman I have ever seen. What an amazing form.

[gscott419]

been in xtreme martial arts since 11 and this is by far best double sword kata(form)i've seen...nice

[loveanimes]

an amazing performance!

[Lynwe]

wow. extremely beautiful performance

[josephcutino]

if you let go of your weapon your a fucking asshole

[diggdawg89]

JEALOUS FAG

[ThePitbull66]

Xtreme Jealousy right here.

[ostek16]

woww is amazing  =O

[dsb713]

i wanna learn how to use double blades....T_T but im more of fighter and weps...but i wanna learn...:P

[haziqjuf]

serously camera man you needto SHUT THE FUCK UP...

[rawrhissmeow]

Seriously. Camera people need to shut the fuck up. Supporting your friend is one thing but I wish his swords were jammed inside those loud motherfuckers. Ruined a perfectly good form...

[Shade0591]

I followed this from a website that claimed to teach Japanese marital arts. Bullshit-do as I call it.

[rowdytime10]

U ARE A BEAST MATE

[ToddsMod]

5 seconds in and he's already bloody awesome... This is guy is absoloutely INCREDIBLE!

[ToddsMod]

I'm not even going to dignify that remark with an answer.

[ToddsMod]

What's incredible is how picky you are. Oh, he doesn't live up to MY standards so I'm going to insult him and everyone who appreciates his talent. Why don't you give it a go, a double sword form? Then we can all judge you.

[ToddsMod]

Hmm. Yeah. You're obviously not a martial artist. And the challenge still stands - do better! Go on! I dare ya!

And I read the email. And the comment you deleted. I am English, hence I don't have a 'mom'. So your comment was redundant.

[ToddsMod]

It seems you are a martial artist. I was deeply mistaken. However, there is no need for those comments. Besides, I am 14. You are 47. Why not flame at someone your own age?

[ducktapesandwhich]

GO KALMAN.

[UnderJOath]

OOoooooooooh!!!

[opfball91]

ooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!1

[Octobersunshine1]

1:17 and onward is very exciting.

[Octobersunshine1]

OMG that is some serious Nitojutsu! AMAZING.

[vitalislaci]

He's a clown :oDDDD

[goldylocks302]

for all you haters out there who bomb this guy for not being QUITE UP TO YOUR @#$%!*& STANDARDS, ask your self... am i not sitting at home on my LAZY ASS WATCHING A GOD DAMN YOU TUBE VIDEO??? yea i thought so.

[Pinoyyyyy]

if u use this acrobatical form or swordfighting, and i just stand still u have way too many openings.

[xoski]

shuta fuck up end his  sakc

[Gendotheone]

c´mon people, do you really think he´s going to fight someone like that, those moves are NOT MEANT to be used in a fight, they are just forms, although not traditional, many martial arts have forms that are acrobatical but they are not practical in a real fight so they dont use them.

[godanp]

wtf!!! how the hell do you get that imaginative.

[icecrimson]

NICE!! even though theyre video game moves theyre still cool!

[Biohazard1369]

I love those swords...ARE THEY PAINTED?!

[Pinoyyyyy]

its not painted its just the lighing reflecting from the sword

[Biohazard1369]

k thanks man, i thought it was but i wasnt sure

[Shade0591]

Wow. Most of that would get you killed in a sword fight. So many openings and the idiot doesn't have a clue as to what he's doing. ACROBATICS AND MARTIAL ARTS DON'T MIX.

[ivanovivan11]

Congrats to Kalman for his excellent technique and concentration but this is something taken out of a manga cartoon.

No sword expert would throw his sword in the air because he isn't a drum mayor.

His sword is his life.

[gotshotokan]

Awesome!!

[Hawaiianstile]

these things are funny lol. people play around with swords just like this at anime conventions XD

[blackbeltgirl01]

Does anyone know what this song is? Thanks!

[misterkami2]

GO KALMAN

[ukmonk]

awesome!! great form and fantastic technique!! :)

[CozBoz2]

Those yanks sounded a little too excited...

[tarcal87]

ya i bet its not good for his concentration

[DamienZshadow]

I agree, I mean I appreciate cheering during competition and when something awesome happens, but not overdoing it like these guys do.

[JakeShallcross]

BEAST O_O

[Beast13x]

Wow. Veeery Impressive! I know for me, after reading Musashi's book of 5 Rings, the Two Sword Style is very deadly and, even whe doing tricks such as that, you tend to take your eye off the second Katana, which is the one that provides the killing blow. Musashi sued a Tachi and Katana, however...Very awesome well done, mate!

[thedingbatt]

just plain impressive and completly original... that was damn good

[RiskoVinsheen]

Wow those were some nice moves. Agreed with some people they would be impractical in a fight but then again you may end up scaring the opponent away with all the spins and such.

The ONLY thing I have a problem with is the guys going "Let's go Kalman!" over and over again. Yeah cheer for the guy but don't say the same thing over and over again.

The form though... awesome!

[baikabaga]

sigh. alright, I hate to do it but I gotta pull a simon cowell on this one. the routine was well coreographed but there are not many extremely difficult manuvers displayed here. plus the tricks in the middle seem to be, just that, tricks. I'm not saying that the man doesn't have skill, it's just that what he showcased doesn't seem too practical. that's all

[xkaratekid13]

Thanks for not being a jerk about it like seem ppl who just say this is garbage. some stuff my be impractical but its a form. thanks for appreciating the skills involved

[cocopelli23]

Yeah, after watching this dude, my karate school's now instituting sword form, but not until you're a 2nd degree black belt. Little late, don't ya think?

[KaRaTeGiRl52]

i saw that guy that night do that.

it was AMAZING!!!

--i am looking foreward to seeing him this year at Diamonds!

=D

[nikoticco]

do ever fight people in these compititions

[nikoticco]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[mrflashkick]

so fucking awesome man

[abarusso]

go kalman go!

[karatemitch]

someone know the name of the song please?

[Vman9484]

the artist is either X-Ray Dog or Immediate Music and the song is called Trinity. It's from the Spider-Man III trailer.

[NeoTeamsuperfly]

go job man !!!! crazyyyyy i like it 5stars

[avi2cfc]

damn daimond nationals is always crazy,

2005 jonathon boyd blind fold sword form, and now this double, vicious

[dapnd]

I dislike his use of bad posture to try and look "dramatic", and his hair bugs the crap out of me... but he's an excellent technician; that's quite the kata. unfortunately, I have to watch this with it muted so those my head doesn't explode from annoyance... sheesh! shut the hell up, spectators!

[philyking]

omg i remember when i saw this. IT BLEW MY MIND. seriously, i dind't think anyone could beat Mark Clanazado-no idea how to spell it, forgive me - but this guy seriously owned ass.

[Cali3ur]

OH Shit dat was sick!!!

[anurielis]

I wonder if he gets as annoyed as I do listening to you repeat his name multiple times?

[JJRIVE17]

[Vman9484]

Kalman is the shizzle lol

[icedragonblade]

does anyone know what this song is??

[clloyd4]

[Amakitty95]

I'm so glad I went. In fact I was about 3 rows in front of the guys cheering for him. I think he won. I thought the guy before him was good, but Kalman was really good!!!

[KIDboxcutter]

[gigerm]

i love how u here mine and renney's voice on the video lolol

[birdhouse555]

Oh My Gosh.

That was so0o0o intense.

[Amakitty95]

I was there. I was behind the ppl saying go Kalman. I was SO mad at those ppl, but his preformance was good.

[timflynn98]

Try that with a real sword, not a fake XMA sword

[flashpop69]

well. lets see you try that, and accomplish that. then ill personally use a "real" sword

[doublecorksaresik27]

dnt care wut u hataz say dat wuz sik

[Vman9484]

wow very original, I don't think I ever seen someone do two swords for a competition form before. awesome job!!!

[DowntownPaulyP]

I was there...dude pulled a perfect 10 from 2 judges, what an incredible show.

[flashpop69]

[xkaratekid13]

[flashpop69]
