I use both green & dry bamboo as targets; however, using these materials can be very dangerous. One small mistake & the blade could break. Please have the proper training & supervision before attempting test cutting practice.
is it me or he draws the katana like somone with no training whtsoever ?well he doesnt even pull the slightest bit the tsuba to draw easier .Well thats me and i am no expert...
Technically horibble cutting. though of course he cuts through all the bamboo and tatami, the way he cuts is out of proportion. Massive swings with no body control or balance. Then again, it's just a cutting test..not a real tatami omote demonstration.
is it just me or does his footwork and ballance seem a bit off/ out of sync? ive always been trained to flow, but he seems a bit more forceful with his moves.. like hes swinging with his arms and only following with his body.. (im sorry if im wrong, im only commenting from the general sword training ive had, so i dont know if that is intentional with the style he is using. if so, please let me know)
Well, to be honest... the problem probably comes from the fact that he is apparently.... Not Asian, That's kind of important. But really besides that one scream yelp at 1:52 , He was pretty good at cutting =]
Maybe is about the style indeed... the way he sheates the sword is reminiscent of iaido... But then again my main style is not representative of current martial arts, since is a Nihon Kobudo... Tatsumi Ryuu. But it indeed look odd.
I'd like to see you do that in a vid because you have to tense up as you swing otherwise you'll only do yourself more harm than good, if not just plain break your arm. I've practiced some Ken-Jitsu myself and I know this much as an amateur. Also the katana is just a pretty sharp blade in general so you have to be rather careful as you use it.
Then just go by instinct as well, I can understand where you're coming from to this degree. I've also practiced the Fairbairn system so I know what you're talking about. Plus what I was referring to was if you're already in combat and may be fully prepared (or as prepared as one can get in a fight) in general.
Tameshigiri is not keiko (test cutting is not sparring), they test different skills. In addition, when cutting bamboo, one needs to cut in between the bamboo's knuckles so as to prevent blade damage. This pin pointing can slow one's cutting.
He acts as though he is chopping wood and not wielding a very sharp and light sword. You do not need to have a very bracing and forceful approach to wield one of these swords effectively. Let the sword do the work......
With properly soaked single roll tatami omote or wara, not much power is needed to make a successful cut. However, thick bamboo, especially dry or multiple poles, does require a certain amount of strength.
Very impressive but I have to say that the swordsman seems to be over-extending himself, like he his having to swing harder because he is not quite close enough to his target and as a result becoming off balance. Just an observation.
pretty good.. no offence meant just observation but you have so much hesitation in your swings you should plan your moves befor drawing the blade so its at ease instead of hover ur sword in the air for 0.5 seconds to find a spot to cut.
Most suitable production katana are made from high carbon steel, regardless if it is L6, T10 or what have you. Due to the carbon content, constant care such as oiling is necessary to prevent oxidation.
As long as the cutting is in context to traditional training (cutting tatami omote, wara & bamboo properly), the blade is guaranteed not to bend, chip or break.
If you want to use it as a "machete", you would be wasting your money. MAS offers products designed for serious sword art practitioners, it makes no other claim.
The test was performed all at the same time & there was no sharpening in between. MAS swords are tempered to withstand the rigors of traditional tameshigiri/begi (test cutting), even for bamboo. In addition, they have a lifetime warranty on the blade itself.
IMO, they offer some of the best productions swords available.
As stated in the clip description, this was a blade performance test asked to be performed by the manufacturer. Several traditional targets (wara & bamboo) with varying degrees of difficulty were used to test the sword's cutting ability.
A thorough written critique was made & can be seen on the links provided in the description.
The Korean Kumdo Association is under the International Kendo Federation. Within these groups, this would make make Kumdo & Kendo the same, otherwise they would not not be allowed to compete together.
Japanese Kendo today is a specific martial art. The term kumdo in Korea is a generic term so several organizations with differing curriculums & agendas exist.
Deceit is nothing new & affects every facet of life. Be wise enough to discern the lies & respectful enough to not be a part them.
How one moves is not really dependent on race but on the particular area of study, what task one is attempting & the amount of experience.
Attempting to cut thick dry bamboo depending on speed alone will prove to be futile. Alignment, angle, balance, tip control, coordination, strength, etc., in addition to adequate speed is necessary for proper execution.
No one is perfect & the key to proficiency is consistent legitimate training.
Mi dispace ma Io non posso scrivere nella lingua Spagnola, forse tu puoi capire Italiano. Tagliare bambu non e' facile percio ha bisogno forza. Anche, questo video e' una essame per la spada, non e' demonstrazione della mia abilita'.
I am rather confused by your comment since Aikiken has no batto nor tameshigiri aspect.
Secondly, the type of chiburi/noto will depend on the ryu & what is being accomplished. For example, Toyama Ryu only has 1, whereas Nakamura Ryu has 8.
Lastly, bamboo is not as forgiving as tatami omote or wara. If the distance or cutting angle were off, the bamboo would not be cut.
i was saying that the balance looks off when striking from from horizontal positions with the bamboo like the blade wasn't sharp enough or you were putting to much force behind it
The only mayokogiri (horizontal cut) was made on wara (rice straw), not bamboo. Because I was asked by the manufacturer MAS to test the sword's cutting ability, I used traditional materials that were difficult to cut.
The mayokogiri was made to dry, double mat wara which is very cut resistant. In addition, dry bamboo, wara wrapped bamboo & multiple poles were used to thoroughly test the sword. As you can see, it successfully cut the materials with no damage to ha or koshirae.
notice how when there are more bamboo targets his screams get louder, and you don't have to shout when you strike, ruins the element of surprise. =D fun video
freeze at 0:09 and you'll see his back foot is almost off the ground, and even if he uses his back to strike he seems to be a tad too stiff. Then again I don't study this art so what I just said means nothing.
at 2:03 exactly. watch as he strikes at the end he has barely one foot off the ground. he is so off balance. anyone whose good will see that and dodge accordingly that one foot barely on the ground means you could do all sorts of fun stuff.
too slow man, meh i can really talk. i've just started tameshigiri at my dojo, but i have been doing kendo for 9years and iaido for almost 5. youngest instructor in the city, yeayea!
Wrong, doing this will cause tension and in battle will telegraph your intention, a strike is suppose to be fast, fluent, and functional. Even Miyamoto Musashi has said this in the Book of Five Rings, Fire Scroll, under "Three Shouts", 4th paragraph.
Shouting and crying are tools in japanese swordsmanship to mount a rhythm and to stir the opponent with fear. Therefore throws him off rhythm to where you can overcome him easily.

Actually, when you finish sheathing the sword, you should pull the saya towards the sword, not push the sword the final way down.

Wrong, doing this will cause tension and in battle will telegraph your intention, a strike is suppose to be fast, fluent, and functional. Even Miyamoto Musashi has said this in the Book of Five Rings, Fire Scroll, under "Three Shouts", 4th paragraph.
