I was staring at the target, waiting for the top part to slide off slowly after he cut it. I thought the dude cut it with such speed and skill that it looked like nothing happened at all. Pfffft.
the way of the sword is the closest to a duel you can get, the way of cutting is kinda formal, of course it's needed but it's not as important as technique and spirit, found in kendo, well whatever there's no more "real" warriors coz now it's peace, but I'm just saying it's the closest thing to a real duel ^^
how the fuck did he let go of the sword???...I mean, I am a beginner in kendo and I have never let go of my shinai (even the real one) like that. Poor girl.
After her sword cut the bamboo I thought it was going to continue into her leg. I had a second heart attack when I saw her holstering moves. I bet she is on a first name basis with the 911 operator.
I just watched ThatJapeneseGirl's video and the girl did get hit with the sword, AND the guy next to her. The blade hit him sideways (not the cutting edge). All I have to say is yikes.
Cool demonstration/competition, though. We don't seem to have those here.
i thought for a moment that applemilk had finally succeeded in morphing completely into a japanese girl. but then i saw how polite and well mannered the girl was and that blew my whole theory.
No, the hilt (known as the tsuka when referring to katana) is carved from wood and doesn't have the same weight as the blade. However, most modern nihonto are relatively light and well balanced. Were you referring to balance point of the blade?
Yeah, that is true... You should be able to balance the blade on a point just above the tsuba (the guard). Most would probably balance on some point between 7-12 cm above the tsuba. In reference to your earlier comment, I thought you meant the actual weight of the blade being equal to weight of the tsuka, but I understand now that you meant the balance of the blade. =)
I love your intro song. I still can't find the song. OMG! that happened so quick I missed it. that girl kicks ass, god for her. wow. this stuff is SO fascinating. awesome awesome awesome awesome
yeah, his quick reflexes save him from a slicing. The samurai girl did get hit but not by the blade - it was the hilt which is still heavy and and with the momentum behind enough to cause a bit of pain.
By the way, Victor. If I ever go to Japan (I have a strong feeling I will), u wouldn't mind just saying hi, would you? I'll let u know when I'm on the way :P
I get the feeling that she was uncomfortable with the camara being there, was she? Like she didn't want to turn and face the camara, she looked cute but I wanted to see like a close up lol, cool vid man.
actually there were a bunch of cameras there and Vic's new one doesn't look a standard video camera. Just the crowd itself is enough to make them nervous.
The girl has better grip but the guy has more accuracy because when she went to go put her sword away she missed a few times and the guy got it a first time..But either way if the guy was fighting her and he lost grip of his sword, she would have whipped his ass....
yeah the sword hit the girls leg if you watch the vids carefully, she limps a bit after. Did nobody ask her if she was pk? or if she was cut? they didnt seem that bothered
It hit her. But from that video it does look like it didn't. I can forgiver your insolence. ... this time. But actually I didn't even notice. I was too busy filming. I talked to her afterwards and asked if she was OK. She said it still hurt. Now you may STFU.
well good she was ok. ah yeh i think ur right! at 1st i thought the sword was the other way but looks like the hilt. those things are pretty damn heavy!
actually you did ue a cord to tie your hand to your katana by looping it around the tsuba, after battles your hands would be so weak you would need it to make sure things like that didn't happen
She might be medically treating her teeth.
