  • Walking down the street with a katana....LOL..yeah in Manhattan I will do next time...

  • ...also real japanese sword stances are not nearly as big and ridiculous as this taekwondo looking stuff. and I'm a blackbelt in taekwondo. Kukkiwon, not ATA stuff like our Expert here.

  • how many times does he use the word 'slashing?' a japanese sword is not a slashing weapon. huge difference between that and the actual cutting that it's meant for.

  • Learn better stance when using a katana, you really need to learn how to properly hold the sword and 2nd how to properly cut. Not swinging a sword around like a toy

  • You have the right idea of how to go about it but you used to many unnecessary slashes there. But the proper way to do it through Iaido is to hit them with the end of the hilt just below their neck only drawing out half the sword. then taking the sword out into a stance where you thrust back bringing the sword up through them, and them using a simple forward cut on the first opponent this is kata 4 Tsukaate. Have a gander at it

  • if you're aprroached by two people in japan in suits please don't attack they are probably just Missionaries! XD

  • im no troll but this place is a mcdojo

  • @xxxshadow92 I think he's talking about a samurai in feudal Japan not modern times.

  • As someone who owns a licensed katana i could not help but chuckle at the "you're walking through the city with your katana at your hip" part. Yeaaaaaaah, chances are the two guys you'll be defending against in that case will be policemen.

  • hmmm well im just guessing but two people who want to take someone on who has a sword in there hip ar probuble not gona get that close and they wold probubly have guns so ye kids dont try this

  • See McCarthy Sensei for actual sword technique...

  • And those poor robers will not live to see the next day...

  • poor guy does not know take a katana jajajaja first learn then teach

  • This is so ridiculous that I'm actually tempted to start a youtube channel and make a video showing how bad of an approach this is.

    But since I'm lazy, I'm going to make a comment.

    2 people approach you at the same time and distance. If you do not move, you're dead -- while you attack one, the other kills you.

    You must move in a way that puts enough distance behind you that you can turn and put both attackers in front of you.

    I suggest moving and attacking 45 degrees to the side, then turn.

  • Didn't release the blade via the tsuba with the thumb.

  • @tshirt2008 oh really now?

  • next video; how to shoot 5 opponents in the head with a revolver

  • @tshirt2008 I aM a N!nja! Dont mESs with me!!1!one!1!

  • Le me walking like a boss on the street with the katana...2 wild samurai appear

    Use twisting slash...its supper effective

    Continue walking down the street like a boss

  • im sorry but is this really necessary to know people dont use swords to fight is either hand to hand get shot or stabbed.

  • real life version of Mr. Mackey from south park ?!?!?!?!?!

  • @nakarsa M'kay

  • This Video is totally pointless...

    He "defends" against two imaginary attackers, who havent even drawn weapons or do anything against him.

    It is easy to "defend" againt 100 petrified enemies.

    Possible, realistic outcomes her:

    - he punches one with his Gachira and the one behind him stabs him witch his weapen

    - he tries to punch the one in front but with only one hand at his weapon and the Kissaki pointing to him, the one in front of him graps the Tsuka with both hands and takes the katana

  • just a note you never, strike at a opponent with the end of your handle when the sword is drawn like that, it allows the enemy to grab your handle and thrust your own sword straight through you. learn some martial arts before going you tube you backward hick

  • @Raikoukouken well if this was a normal sword, then you would be correct, unfortunately, in this case you are wrong, in martial arts, especially if the Samurai's eyes, every movement of the sword must have its own purpose, one cannot simply unsheathe the sword, Samurai where taught to make as little movement as possible and to make everyone count. thus, pulling the sword and striking the opponent in the face with the butt of the sword is the correct way, but there are other ways in doing it too

  • i wish to have wooden katana

  • You clean up your sword, kay. And then you go to jail,

    kay.

  • your walking down the street. traditional samurai. you notice someone is walking towards you. then basicly you kill them and then you find out that they were just walking past you.

    kay.

  • walking down the street with your sword, attackers pull out semi machine guns, empty their mags on you, you're dead, okay? :P

  • @FireFistPortgas Well he said "A TRADITIONAL SAMURAI" I dont think there where machine guns in the "traditional samurai" times. It's like tshirt2008 says, people; if you don't like the video, just do not watch but please DO NOT disturb.

  • @LancesGun75 First it was a joke, second i phrased it like dear Tres Tew (the guy in the video) gives his explanation, didn't mean to offend anyone lol, besides, if i wouldn't like katanas and the way they're used i wouldn't have found this vid in the first place.

  • @TITETV

    MEGALOL, this os one of their worst videos, and one of their worst instructors.

    A self made black belt...

  • @tshirt2008 you need to realise that some people devote their entire lives to the perfection of such arts. a perfectio0n that they will never achieve yet they strive for it all the same, so can you really be surprisede that they are insulted by someone making money, using techniques learned from books and films. at no point in any of these videos is anything technically correct. i know people say 'but they're just showing basics' well what is the point of showing basics that are wrong.

  • @tshirt2008 i think thats the problem so many people think like if your samurai your gunna be like Icheago

  • pk ppl. these scenarios hes putting you in were typical scenarios a typical samurai would be placed in feudal japan so STFU and GTFO this channel

  • so your walking down the road and two guys attack you with a katana for a duel to the death you first plan out the fight hit the guy in the stomach and stab the 2nd guy five or more times and finish the 1st guy and then repeat and you have time to bow and clean off your sword before the police arrive

  • @tshirt2008 i am surprised also.a bunch of kids who think because they watched a few anime cartoons they know how to do the things in them.but you gotta remember most of these people are arogent kids. put them up agaist someone who knows how to actually handle a sword theyll mouth off until they get their asses kicked. then some will either wish to learn or drop the pretend samurai thing all together

  • where is it legal to carry a sword on the street

  • @backelskin89 well im not sure about the states but in canada its legal, as long as you have a good reason for it and everyone can see it

  • @poobed666 You just made me want to live in Canada, dude.

  • @tshirt2008 The fact that they are showing so much disrespect shows that they have never studied. They would know that they would have their heads cut off for that.

  • This guy honestly reminds me of when I was a child and used to play with my bokken. I'd imagine things coming toward me and kill them, just like he does. Shit, I shoulda started up a dojo.

  • okay so your walking down the street with your katana, and little does the poor bastard in front of you minding his own business know but your about to nail him in the nuts and chop his head off then ...you decide to make it a full day by also turning the guy behind you into starfrit knife block and chop his arm off. Haha random person Haha.

  • traditional samurai hmkay?

  • @tshirt2008 /watch?v=JLoeVQ28IRo Watch his videos, we know what we are saying.

  • 1. It is illegal in almost every US state to carry around a sword.

    2. It is illegal in almost every US state to strike an attacker.

    3. Buy yourself a 12"+ bowie knife and use that to scare off attackers instead of slicing people with a katana.

  • @guitarist347 its also quite illegal to kill someone with a gun, but looks what happens every day

  • @daveyboy728 It's easier to conceal a pistol as opposed to a freaking katana, dipshit.

  • @guitarist347 all im saying is your first two points are irelevant, the fact that something is illegal does not phaze the mind of an attacker.

  • @guitarist347 Did you know within ten feet a gun takes an average of 1.7 seconds to pull and use with lethal action. A person using a knife could close the distance and use it with lethal action on an average of 1.5

  • Synopsis: punch, stab, /, /, /, clean sword, seath, bow towards dead bodies, ???, win. I just saved 56 seconds from your life. Thumbs this up so everyone can see it or just press this >> 0:56 << And yes I am a smartass with no kenjutsu skills at all.

  • @tshirt2008 LOL I feel you. Some people are so delusional.

    You know somebody watches too much Bleach when: he attempts Bankai during a sparring match xD!

  • why would any person ever walk on the streets with a medieval sword?

  • I lost him at "walking down the street like a traditional samurai"

  • @GhostXDog youve failed to understand my comment again.my point was that if people are willing to make negative comments then they should be willing to show everyone how its done correctly.im not in a street gang,im not seventeen and i have very little martail arts training,people need to realise that keyboard samurai like yourself are not cool,often virgins and rarely have a social life.if you still dont understand my comment then mail me and ill get you some crayons an draw you a diagram

  • @tshirt2008 "if people are willing to make negative comments then they should be willing to show everyone how its done correctly." False dilemma that makes no sense. Speaking and backing your opinion with written proof does not need visual backup. Besides there are many videos out there, and many schools-dojos showing/teaching proper and genuine martial art techniques and not improper and sloppy knock-offs. I'll get you some crayons an draw you a diagram on how to seek them out.

  • @GhostXDog no need to get crayons for me,i understand what your saying, what your saying is that people on here should be able to rattle off any old bull shit they feel like?i could tell you im michael jackson back from the dead and youd just eat that up like a complete clown?. if thats your opinion on this then im ending this argument,your obviously a fantasist who enjoys making false claims and reading the claims of others.

    yours sincerley : HRH Queen Elizabeth II

  • @tshirt2008 wtf are you talking about, some here done kendo other have visited or seen these 400+ year old samurai schools, they never EVER teach what this jack-ass show.

    And those schools+sword teaching are based on people who experienced combat, who survived and wrote down what worked.

    This is all about being flashy, nothing of this would work in reality.

    Simple stuff always work, being flashy never. Check mma and see how many kung fu artist have a chance.

  • @GhostXDog well said

  • "expert Tres Tew". Expert in saying 'mkay' 35 times in 10 seconds.

  • Comment removed

  • @tshirt2008 exactly because I understood both the comment and the extent of your retardation I wrote what I wrote.My comment was referring to the obvious fact that 'practical' technique inventions-applications on a possible street situation (as both you and the 'instructor' imply) are both irrational and fake for obvious reasons that your brain is evidently unable to comprehend. The people who invented Kenjutsu were Feudal warriors, pea brainer. Now fuck off and go train at your red neck macDojo

  • Yes beacause I always keep my katana with me on the street -.-

  • ffs how many times did he said ''kay''

  • To be honest Samurai were a bit smarter than that.

  • What if pedestrian number 3 has a gun

  • @tshirt2008

    U spoke my words ^^. Damn Keyboard Samurais! Most people critizin me havent vids of their own. I do have Watch my channel and watch my friends list Zukuru.

  • @DerSpartaner having vids of your own does neither make ones argument true nor false automatically. You cannot invent retarded techniques in your fast food Dojo and teach them as genuine. Learn what the fuck you are talking about first.

  • for once his moves make sense-this is more realistic than formal Iaido kata-he just cant handle the sword well

  • 1st: those are pathetic ways to attack someone and are easily visible and countered.

    2nd: You didn't close distance to either opponent, so if they were actually where you were striking, you would already be dead. Any apprentice swordsman can account for blade distance from your opponent.

    It would probably be best to stop claiming you're an expert when you're not even a beginner.

  • @tshirt2008 WHAT ARE YOU SAYING.... isnt those showes real????? I often get dilivered pizzas by sword wielding cats from time to time, after i've eaten/smoked/drunked/taken a bunch of (enter hallucinogenic drug here)!

  • The video's title should be: Help me I'm a moron 12 yo

  • Before this I've had no chance against two samurais attacking me at the same time. Perhaps aganist one at a time...I learned how to block from the other vid...

    Well all that changed now. Prepair evil samurai pairs, lurking around dark corners! Uhm...why are you advancing from the same direction? Thats not fair! Will you stop right there, I just jump between you.

    You, sorry, with the funny hat, would you step back a bit. Cool.

    Now I kill the shit out of you!

  • why is his name trace 2 ? and not just trace

    - and why would you be walking down the street with youre katana on youre hip.. im pretty sure thats illegal

    + i dont think that many people would attack a guy with a katana

  • This man needs to exchange his dull blade for a shinken... I wanna see how many fingers he loses.

  • Surprisingly, his tip about turning the sword sideways so it'll pass through the ribs is actually correct. 5-to-1 odds he pulled that from a book.

  • thanks for your tutorials ^^, i can see that they not best that what internet have, but i thanks anyway :)

  • sick!!!! now i can take two swordsman at once awesome!!!!!!!!

  • It is like the blind man leading the blind man . You shit me buddy .Who is walking down the street with katana . Even Tom Cruise forgot his sword in "The Last Samurai" street fight scene . Have a sit & take your rest . Regards

  • and then you cut your fingers off =)

  • Fighting with a "KATANA SWORD".

  • excuse me "hi my name is Trace2" ?! cause when his parents tried to call him Trace the birth certificate people were like "we're sorry but that name has already been taken"

  • Ha ha ha! You are walking on the street, with your katana ( A WEAPON!!!) on your hip! Ha ha ha! Is there anybody who actually do this?!?!?! Is there anybody stupid enough to attack you with a katana on your hip?!?!?!?!?!? Hmmmmm....???

  • @ederrit Man I would totally sprint full boar at a guy with a katana at his hip in the middle of a busy street, just to see his dumb-founded reaction as to why the heck someone is attacking him when he has a sword on his hip in the middle of a crowd. xD

  • that wasnt fast

  • Look down at koiguchi when doing noto and loose any little zanshin you have, Then again you probably dont have a clue what im talking about. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

  • it is not his fault. he is just a product of his teacher.

  • @kaifinn

    it appears more like he hasn't got any....

  • @watercolour but what when he has?

    that kind of sensei's are so bad for martial arts.

  • noob

  • This guy just raped the true essence of katana...and..fuck!Why the hell am i watching this shitty McDonalds stuff anyway?..

  • PLEASE WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SHOW HERE ? HOW TO GET KILLED OR LOOK LIKE A FOOL ..... YOU ARE DOING GREAT THAN CAUSE YOU ARE A DEAD FOOL IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE PRACTISING

  • ''walking down the street with your sword'' what the hell

  • @LOS1354 LMAOOOOOOOOO

  • @LOS1354 back in the day you carried a sword... now a days its a gun.

  • @LOS1354 its about what to do if you were a samurai during a time when that was common

  • @LOS1354 - real men walk with swords

  • okay?okay,okay?

  • Guns are for pussies. True discipline and skill comes from close range weapons. If only we could ban guns and bring back those ancient weapons, heroes will be made.

  • @anythingnew You do realize banning guns isn't going to stop people from using them, right?

  • @The42ndAirsoftLegion

    I know, but by banning, it'll be imposed that bullets are limited. Because not everyone will know how to make em. So, people will think twice before popping a clip or they'll have to pay a ton of money to a gun-smith for more ammunition. And there may not be many gun-smiths left in the world because they get cracked down.

  • @anythingnew It's called the black market. How do you think convicted felons get guns and ammo? There's not a lot of people willing to buy a gun for a felon by proxy, because that's a felony. Banning guns is not going to keep them out of the hands of criminals.

  • @anythingnew Not really... no one can turn back the clock of time... it always keeps going forward... but you might learn how to defend yourself from modern weapons with ancient weapons. you know what they say, nothing is as good as the original.

  • @anythingnew that's so true. I'm glad that theres at least one reasonable comment in the comment-section of this vid unlike almost all the other comments here :-)

  • A form is a way to memorise sequences of movements into your mind. Some martials artists only go by the forms, while others always try to do the parallel with reality and to think about the concequences of every little parts of a form. Personnally, I prefer the kind that think by themselves. If you understand what you are doing it is much easier to apply it or modify things to match reality. Forms and applications can be very different things, so it depends on what you are trying to do here.

  • kay ... kay ... kay Lol

  • little cowboy will never become a great samurai!

  • because your going to walk as a traditinal samurai in the middle of a night

    and care to slice them in pieces by theyr any movements ^^

  • So hang on. You draw the sword, with the tip pointing at you, and smack someone in the groin with the butt of the handle. Did you even think this through before you started filming?

  • ur name is trace 2

  • thats a good move ill use it to beat up my bros!!! (not with real katana but wodden one)

  • if the attacker have mac11 you'll be an idiot looking fool with that three feet sword

    he'll have to spray u're ass to relive u from the shame..and you'll still die looking like a fool

  • @toro199999 - Some idiot always has to mention a gun in any sword video. I'm not even going to try and change your mind, but perhaps you should consider that if you're within around 21 feet the guy with the sword will kill you first.

    The Mac-11 is also known to have insufficient stopping power and requires good trigger discipline not to empty the magazine in a second, leaving you defenceless.

  • @frostek my point is not to bring a knife to a gun fight, and i respect the katana sword i know about guns and swords more than you know i presume cause it happens that i have a real katana in addition to other swords and guns..i'm not a violent man but i respect the technology by which the katana is made generations ahead of it's time..i thought this video like a sword demonstration not a killing guide..instead he should post a video of how to disarm an opponent..u dont go around slicing people

  • @frostek

    sorry but if youre up against anyone with any measure of combat pistol training armed with anything above a 9mm, my fav being a model 1911 .45 acp, the swordsman would probably get about 12 feet before having at least 3 rounds in his chest and maybe one in his head depending on the marksmanship level of the gunman.

  • i recommend you to start off by studying the "traditional samurai".

    they didnt wear black belts. you will need an obi and a hakama to securely wear your katana. the handle of the katana points to the right side of your body, where you can draw it quickly in a situation of need. if you bow, do not let your hand shake around loosely. put it on your thigh with your fingers close to each other. otherwise its impolite and traditional samurai had to commit seppuku for being impolite in such a way.

  • That's nice, but we really just wanted to see how to take on two opponents at once with a katana.

    No one really cares how you think we should dress.

  • 0:43 The blade is not going to get pulled out that easy

    To get a good feeling of how it's stuck in a body, get someone to firmly hold the blade of a bokken or a stick and try to pull it out ;)

  • @Ikarus568 it is not much effort if you have the proper stomach, shoulder and arm strength to do it with. not exactly as easy as this looks, but easier then how you describe it.

  • @apachedrifter Better idea! : while the blade's still in the body, pull all of the guy in the air and slash toward the other guy so that you send the first one flying toward the second! :D

  • @Ikarus568 ok asshole, if it was so hard, why is the second move in hachimon me ganmen ate a thrust to teh solar plexus of th adversary behind you, followed by a cleave to the men of the adversary in front of you? explain THT one....since you say its "so hard"

  • @apachedrifter I don't really know why there's a cleave that immediately follow a tsuki in hachimon me ganmen ate (Is that from Kenjustsu? I never heard of that kata before)

    When you pierce someone with a blade, the body will very likely bend over the blade, plus there will be some sort of suction (or sucsion I don't even know if it's an English word!) so the blade gets stuck in the body and you'll need to pull it out with strenght. I've learned it from Shinkendo from my sensei and some sempais

  • @Ikarus568 hmm...ok smarass. look up Iaido Kata Seitei 08 Hachihon-me - Ganmen-ate from thesamuraiworkshop on youtube. prove me wrong after seeing that....good luck since you really cant.

  • @apachedrifter 1- My second reply was meant to be a friendly joke

    2- You are too arogant for a martial artist

    3- I'm talking about how we do it in Shinkendo

    4- It's an old video

    5- GOOD DAY SIR

  • @Ikarus568 im a swordsman, thts it. im arrogant with fkn idiots, which btw, isnt even part of wht we were discussing. i really dont care how you do it and it dont matter if its an old vid, the physics still apply. besides if you run your sword in someone and twist it as you pull it out, it breaks the suction. and i have a question for you....how many ppl have YOU impaled so far? that was a rehorical question btw. as to your second reply? it was sarcastic which can be taken as insult.

  • @Ikarus568 and btw, i never said i was a martial artist....YOU made tht assumption. jsut because i study teh way of the sword dont mean i fall in line with you. now this is all i will say to this so dont even bother replying

  • @Ikarus568 no im sorry, i will say one more thing and one more only. "There are many people who, by being attached to a martial art and taking apprentices, believe that they have arrived at the full stature of a warrior. But it is a regrettable thing to put forth much effort and in the end become an "artist." " hagakure chpt 1

  • @apachedrifter Oh and I just said that it's not easy to pull out a blade from a body so switching to Joudan after a thrust would'nt be possible. I'm not talking about why they do this in other katas, I don't want to look like someone who's bitching over Youtube.

    I mean we're both martial artist, we are supposed to get along and learn from each other amiright?

  • You'd be very surprised by how often that happened to me in my home town...mind you I always carried a bokken. On a different note the instructor here is rather moronic. For one if you have two people attacking from the front and behind they're not going to be linear and you'd be smarter to move to one side bringing them to a front position before taking an offensive.

  • yeah man its an everyday situation that you just walk around in the city and happen to have a katana and at the same time 2 people attack you.

  • @jonaswtfpwned

    no your right....its not an everyday thing. BUT IT CAN HAPPEN. even with a 2lb bokken and your body being hardwired from practice, youll come out better then they will. im pretty sure i could even at my skill level and ive only been practicing for a month now.

  • And the attackers couldn't block?

  • You can carry a katana its not concealed and your not threatening anyone with it. I used to walk to kendo class with it all the time. Got wierd looks is all. I also used to practice in the park.

  • @bentandbroken620 Not in our silly little country ya cant... One look at it and we'd be put behind bars for years.

  • If that was a real shinken he would be missing his left arm.

  • Next time i'm wandering down the road with my sword hanging out of my pants... i'll bare that in mind, thanks...

  • Hmmm... Don't mean to be mean, but aren't you supposed to negotiate with the "attackers" before you attack them? The point is, avoid conflict until it is absolutely necessary.

  • hardcore

  • Comment removed

  • while i love this video i really dont see myself walking down the street with my sword =/ dont even think its legal

  • a katana really wasnt meant to stab its hard to aim its a slashing weapon.

  • @guineapig144

    actualy it is rather adept as a thrusting weapon, otherwise why would there be iaido/kenjutsu kata with it? you just cant thrust forward, you have to bring your hands up as you thrust to compensate for the sori. so the tsuka ends up about a fist higher then the kissaki when it hits. it actually has a lot of piercing power done this way.
