Aikido Sword Fighting: Ken-Gi Two : Spiraling Throat Cut: Aikido Ken-Gi Two

[srdreed]

alright how about you narrow that grip a little bit and you wont have to release one hand to do anything. your grip is wider than that used on a jo. your not gonna cut or block with those loose grips.

[Fjerid]

I have never seen a man holding a sword by its blade like this dude does with his top hand. Pretty awesome i must admit

[iPknEdge]

look where this top hand is lmfao. ( you can tell he ain't never held a real sword . ) LMAO

[TheKingtut111]

@iPknEdge i am with you that not how you hold a sword of that kind

[standeman80]

You guys got more videos than you have subscribers ;O

[85709399]

i like vegas

[85709399]

cool show.....

[kujatheangelofdeath]

lol you idiots if you look this guy up hes one of the top exeperts on akido and ontop of that he has military training meaning he could probably reduce anyone of us to an unrecognizeable pulp with any weapon he would care to use.

[blackstar5026]

he can't even do it :s... and i know it because i do 7 years aikido.

[unixtohack]

Very interesting to see en try to understand his movements. Very smooth.

[MasterlessGamer1]

well i kno what to do against you

[PetzAres]

@thorazini1 from a layman's point of view^^.....in fact this guy has no idea of real swordfighting...what he shows is more meditation than real combat.....So, no he couldn't cut most of us apart^^

[gnark1ll1us]

dance moves

[jessebrownie]

@muker123 Yuuuppppppp :D

[jessebrownie]

Stupid Caucasian Man playing with a Samurai Sword, you may never fight like a Samurai, but at least you can die like one.

[Slotty]

@jessebrownie and I dont think he knows about the way the Japanese fought. they were all about honour. in the beginning the battles was fought one vs one untill one side won, later they went into mass warfare after nearly losing to the mongols, but they still fought 1 vs 1, just that in battle.. if you were 100 vs 1. there was only 1 guy fighting him, i he died, then another took his place, trying to defeat the enemy :P so this is mostly meditation/training :P

[GoGoVengo]

@Slotty seriously, do you think civilised races could be so dumb? it comes of as both misinformed and gullble.

[Slotty]

@GoGoVengo seriously, do you like read any history at all? Japanese Warfare was all about honour back during the middle ages, Soldiers had atleast a couple moths of training with the Katana, Bow or Yari ( which was the only weapons the common soldier used ) in Europe we gave the Peasants a pitchfork and used them as human shields, in japan the peasants job was to provide the Clan with Food so they we´re never used as meatshields,, so please. read some history before you start ranting

[AlexanderRobocop]

@Slotty there are plenty of instances where peasants were driven onto the battlefield in japan, there weren't many battles with only samurai, think about it, why would you decimate your entire 'upper class' when there are plenty of lousy peasants with pointy bits of bamboo?

[LockOnWR]

@jessebrownie

being a samurai is not about being japanese or asian.. its about your spirit and devotion. durrr

[VideoDesiner]

hes dancing?

[MrZeus169]

the way of the swordsman

[15kardozo]

Hey what about a fucking diet... you the discrace of the samurai

[hendrikmarine]

@15kardozo What about you put a break to your toungue? you are a disgrace to every warrior… I dont even need to mention that this man can tear your fuckhead body to peaces in an instant do I?

[FinalKenny2]

Is this the Aikikai Kata?

[kendoka0girl]

I remember this from my Aikido training. I've since switched to Kendo and Iaido.

[kenshin420jj]

any real Kendo ppl should understand his movements.

Aiki-Ken is very good!

its an offshoot of Aikijutsu/Ono itto ryu and Kashima Shinto ryu.

evryone of you....spend too much time thinking and not doing.....why not learn somthing instead of always hating on somthing?

[pazzerhead]

i can do that....with my dick

[THRILLINGSTATIC1234]

all your videos are mixed up cant tell which one to watch first

[pwnageAAXAApker]

If you cut the guy's head off, I don't think we have to know what he's doing XD

[Yashstradamos]

fat American teaching Japanese akido, what has the world come to?

[bellafullo]

I think aikido is a great martial art, but this guy should learn how to use a bokken properly.

[Wiseman501]

I hate the way you cut half of your range of motion away when you use a "Thrust or stabbing technique" Did you know that leaving the tip of your blade out in the open while 'setting up' for that stab will make it ten times easier to knock it aside, slide up your blade and arm, then slice that unblemished neck of yours right in half? EVEN IN PRACTICE it helps to pull back farther, it adds power and speed to your thrust, and gets you farther out of enemy range. Also use your feet. In, out, around.

[pacosaidso]

Thanks for a good video.

[ronin2167]

There were thousands of different ryu in the days of the samurai and they all had different approaches to how to use the sword, and they all were effective for their application. Only thing I don't agree with is his grip is too wide.

[Taypaan]

this is bullshit

[midgetsarerare]

if he would get a lil more active on that demonstration i would be more interested i bet i could woop him in a good sword fight

[sachifre]

This is an exercise of ki on the move. Not kenjutsu. This is not combat and should not be portrayed as combat. His movements are fluid and correct for what he is doing.jamjax is correct. This is an exercise of harmony. I too, study kendo and iaido, this is aikido. "Different strokes, for different folks!"

[Metal4life527]

that's what she said

[OMFGHUGEWOLF]

@sachifre year old reply but all the strokes are ment to be the same

[xcosmicsoulx]

What you sword fighting fanatics fail to realize is that these martial arts with weapons, or not, are passed down from their origins, virtually unaltered, because their sheer technique is actually effective in battles and duels in history. This stuff is epic win, and regardless of the shape the demonstrator is in, he's doing it right, and you're watching him from afar.

[Wiseman501]

@xcosmicsoulx He may be excecuting his style properly, but I'm here to tell you... This isn't MY preferred fighting method with a katana. He's far too rigid, even in kata. His grip is past the tsuba... Come on. If I was in a sword fight with this guy the ideal strategy would be to use footwork. In and out of his perimiter. I could imagine a couple of ways to attack his poorly tuned grip as well. He's just too rigid...

[IEKUKATAKA]

@Wiseman501 What part of "This is Aikido and not swordsmanship" do you not understand?

[jumpupdnbdj]

@IEKUKATAKA Tai JItsu mostly originated from kenjitsu, so in a sense they are the same.

[Aphablueforce]

Getting tired of all these crap being said. If you dont' like it, don't watch it. This video happen to be very good tutorial if you understand all the method being use here. Bunch of BS coming from dumb people that don't even know shiet.

[Shiinnie]

i agree

[delia1028]

WHY IS HE SO FAT?

[niclas0405]

he's american?

[wiresystem]

all aikido mothafakas are fat like steven seagal lolol....it's the art of the fat men!

[demonbane25]

then you have no right to ogle asuka kazama... so sexy yet deadly with her aikido...

[Lou33mig41]

he could still kik ur ass

[bigtimz123]

This guy realy sucks if he was on the street he wud be fuked no amount of 1s 2s 3s or 4s cud save him

[willisfoshillis]

Uhh guys... you're critisizing what is essentially a youtube tutorial...

I think that this was made for people who just watched an anime show and want to "learn" sword techniques but are lazy or don't want to pay to study under a real master

[azildjiandrumemr420]

this is aikido for sure. there is nothing rushed or forced in this kata. Not bad thought, I've been taught a longer variation of this kata. the 11 cut kata. Anyone know which one I'm talking about?

[zooyorktrooper]

im sorry but his is performed half ass, even I, a student of kendo for only 3 years see holes in his techniques

[jamjax]

Kendo cuts and stances are not the same as Aiki. These kata are for learning harmony. I play kendo and i think the same way as you, but i think it is us who miss the point of this style of thinking.

[shimamigobligah]

I... Don't... Understand.... Why he is turning around after only taking 1 step to face his opponent lol

[lORDELO2]

here's sum real aikido sword fighting fags

watch?v=XeWa9CbfgFI

[kendoka0girl]

Very informative!

[andrewdafoe]

o.O its intresting to watch thats for sure

[samdonelly7]

@kfblss137---Thats why countries such as Russia whose armies rely on tactics instead of numbers are superior.

[jumpupdnbdj]

@kfblss137 I would of thought that your insults brings you to the same level would it not? Just an observation.

Wishing you great training and peace.

[WillKenzo]

@kfblss137 I really don't think that a real sensei would waste his time putting videos on the internet. They wouldn't be satisfied by teaching what his masters taught him in such a poor way like in here where he can't correct you if you're doing something wrong and that sort of stuff. Normally there's a lot of respect involved about teaching oriental martial arts.

[marcelriddell]

face it yanks cant do martial arts! this is like watching a an old man waving his walking stick about!

[1miso1skullbreaker]

Keep telling yourself that, as no matter what you say "yanks" will always be more powerful than you. Have fun not being in The most powerful Nation in the World.
