@boratstuntdouble nontheless, cutting with a saber is pretty hard. Strengh angle and technic. It may looks like it (I agree), but I suppose thats because hes putting alot of power in his cuts
@markusstyler that "carpet" is called tatami, a carpet made out of rice fro mwhat I can get ( Maybe the plant or something like it). They use it in many kendo and slicing weapons martial arts because it is a great representation of the density of a human body. Just roll a tatami on a bamboo stick, and it makes a great representation of a human leg.
The obvious and enjoyable nostalgia of a grand master doing it the 'old way'! However, I 'think' I could do this with my modern chain-saw just as effectively - but not as quickly or artistically!
Wow, smooth, clean cuts. This man has spent many hours to be this good. I would like to see some of the people with negative comments try the same cuts......From far away.
@Artelmis You can actually. You can take his classes in Los Angeles. Not sure if he teaches classes around the world, but Los Angeles seems to be his main teaching place. Only for $100 a month :D
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WTF.......that fuckin JAP carrot head was pathetic! even a little boy can do better and faster! Wasted a few minutes of my precious watching that shit!!!
I'm typing out of ignorance, but why is what he's doing hard? Is he really skilled? If it were a dull blade I'd totally get it, because speed+technique would be doing the cutting. But his blade is ridiculously sharp and it seems to be doing all the work. Some cuts didn't even seem so clean.
@gargamel6699 if you want to see just how technique works, and precision, check out the samurai who cut a bb in half while it was being shot at him. thats technique for you.
@gargamel6699 well you must not do shinkendo or any other swordmanship. he cuts very good. thats why he was 7 time national japan champ. there are 10 precepts to good swordmanship. such as grip and blade angle most new cutters will knock the mat over and just smack it because it takes time to perfect the 10 precepts. also kaiso has very good credentials. read his bio online. also the way he cut that bamboo without splitting it is impressive. whatch other cutters and maybe you will understand.
@leopower7 Its a demonstration. Real swords (even if they were un-sharpened) could cause serious injury if a mistake were to happen. Better safe than sorry.
japanese sword is not sharper than for e.g. damascus swords. katana's brilliance isn't that it is just sharp. it's the combination of sharpness and resilience gained by combining high and low carbon steel into one blade.
@jubitoftw hahahaha! are you kidding me? The Katana is by far the sharpest sword ever made. It was folded over 250 times. THe Katana is sharp enough to cleanly cut through multiple bodies at once. I think it even holds the record of going through 10 carcasses. Damascus is also a type of metal that was crafted into swords. Usually for Persian warriors. Also many Piercing-type weapons. So again I will say that the Katana was and is the Sharpest Weapon that ever was or will be made.
@vampiricgothique666 folding the steel doesn't make it sharper, but stronger. it's the polishing that makes it sharp and smooth. also, folding a katana more than cca 20 times (depending on type folding of the blade) makes no sense because it no longer makes it stronger (but, rather, weaker). sorry to rain on your parade but these are facts and they are easy to check. all the best, over & out.
@jubitoftw Well the only thing your right about is folding it doesn't make it sharper. However the stronger the blade the sharper it can be made. And I know what I am talking about. A real, Samurai Katana is folded 250 times. That is fact.
@charlieoath777 yep. Thats Tatsu, you should look up on the guys stats man... he's a fucking master swordsman. Current world-record holder of the Kabutowari as well :)
how would a samurai faight an enemy with a shield ? ? ? ? someone like a spartan warrior? ? ? and . . . plis dont take seriusly that shity series of deadliest warrior. . . if anyone have an idea I would like to hear it.
@perrocalientucho Dunno they were from different times and places, theyd probably use agility to overcome the shield, you know like duck and roll around it to attack the still turning enemy. Just a thought
@perrocalientucho i believe u speak spanish because of ur name so i will tell u in spanish so its easier for both
en fin en la epoca de los samurais, tambien exisitan los guardianes de los templos los cuales usaban escudos con espadas, o lanzas, las espadas samurais son famosas porque eran capazes de atravesar estos escudos debido a su filo, asi que me imagino que tambien podrian de haber atravesado un escudo espartano midiendo la diferencia del trabajo que tenia el escudo y el filo de la katana
@DjAlgis I don't believe they had movie camera's until the late 19th century, so you must be about 130 years old to have seen a real "decent samurai" at work.
Toshishiro Obata je me souviens que cet expert en art martiaux (et surtout dans le maniement du Katana) jouait le rôle de Tatsu, le bras droit de Shredder dans les 2 premiers films "Tortues Ninja" :) Dommage qu'il n'avait qu'un rôle de "comique" j'aurais aimer le voir dans un vrai film d'arts martiaux...
a sword cuts as it is "pulled". not out of the scabbard but while cutting. to demonstrate this to yourself, you can wrap your hand around the blade and squeeze. nothing happens. however if you pull the blade through your hand, it will cut. you can cut a man in half this way. this guy needs a bat, not a sword.
the hand thing works becuz the blade is stationary if it is moving that doesent aply, try this take a razor sharp blade and push it into your hand (its probly gonna cut ya so dont) now take same blade and have it hit your hand going say 40 mh regardless of weather its pulld or not and there ya go. ever hear of a 3 body blade? cant do that if you pull the sword.
@DjAlgis what you are used to seeing actually is based on the sword, not much skill. you see these new "competitive grade" katanas aren't made like a katana should be made. The Katanas that Obata would use are made for combat, and made to cut through 3 inch thick bamboo, and are strong powerful swords that wont break. the Ji of the blade is usually slightly curved and they have lots of niku. The swords you see used by other people online are made to cut tatami. its usually thin like a machete.
@furvuscorvus and quite effectively at that... since most soldiers were conscripts with little training, these trained women were scary to say the least :D
@DjAlgis dude, that's free standing bamboo. its not tied town or anything. there is a reason why toshishiro obata was multiple time cutting champion in Japan and the United States. He's just the best there is.
@Chiperdada I don't understand when you say its "free standing bamboo". the middle of the bamboo is stuck on a smaller post mounted on the wooden stand... thats why you see so much shaking when the bamboo mat is cut.
@DjAlgis if you mean the last part really look at him i don't think he's swings look more balanced as if he was fighting a group not his fastest or strongest but just enough to get it done
@MrBoneStripper98 Look on this samples below, any other white weapon is not so quick as sabre and fore sure any sword even Japanese katana. See yourself how quick polish hussar sabre is. This last video lasts only 15 seconds can you count how many blows fencers gave to each other? Any Japanese fencer wouldn’t have a chance with master of polish hussar sabre.
i have watched a few vids with the sabre you mentiond, and wasent impressd. could you send me some links to better ones, cuz you tube has a thing for providing some very good but also some very shitty vids.
@MrBoneStripper98 And look on blows that Japanese fencer gives, most of them is from behind of head, when those plows are powerful but very slow and they expose all chest and abdomen. Fencer with saber in les than a second will cut guts out before fencer with katana will end his move.
i have watched a lot of katana sword work and thats not very true considering they wher mostly attaking oppnents that wher armored they sruck where it was the most efficiant. and if that be the neck, abdomen, leg, arm, ect. ect. this is just a demo.
@Lrofd oh shut up i study french in and it sucks and i think french people are the most ignorant people and they invented racism and i'm black so i'm not their biggest fan for many reasons
@kaya17able Hating a people for hating you only breeds more hate, no? To quote Ghandi: "Be the change you want in the world". Besides, this is 2010. We're supposed to have moved past such primitve emotions. One bad french man doesn't equal all bad french men in the same way as one idiot black man doesn't equal all idiot black men, yes? Don't punish the coming generations for what previous did. That's not fair. To yourself and them
@Canoots BAHAHAHAH that's pretty funny dude. but surely you're aware that the "mats" you just mentioned have more or less the same sturdiness and resilience of a human limb. The Katana is the 2nd SHARPEST blade in the world. 2nd only to the SCALPEL. and it is the SHARPEST SWORD overall. hehe. a little bit of respect would cost you nothing but a humbled soul.
@heurodis A blade is only as sharp as someone makes it. One style of blade is not guaranteed to be sharper then another. Stop getting so wrapped up in the JSA, and realize there are other swords and other forms of swordsmanship out there, which are just as good, and take just as much skill.
@Tendrax Oh did I give you that impression that I was wrapped up in the JSA?. for that Mea Culpa. I meant only to give you the fact. oh and to express my incredulity of "Canoots" statement. I will never nor will you ever hear me, claim that JSA or it's form is the best at its field. You on the other hand is rather being too defensive. perhaps you should consider the content of my words? I've already expressed my desire for a little respect, surely you could be agreeable to that.
@heurodis Hhaha nice post! :D Me like! And I agree, the Japanease are such an extraordinary and fascinating people. Due to the lack of resources on the islands of Japan they had to utilize what little they had so they created weapons of incredible quality. Durability was very sought after. I wish I was born Japanease... :(
@ChrisRiley93 mmmmm I meant no disrespect ChrisRiley93 but surely you understand that a sword is FORGED and not merely sharpened?? meaning and I've not intention to injure your pride, that it's base elements are crucial to and directly related to it's sharpness. the Katana was made in a unique style that enables it to be durable and be extremely sharp.. oh and I may have made a mistake by not putting a quotation mark. That claim (sharpest sword, 2ndsharpest blade) is WRITTEN in the BOOK OF RECOR
@ChrisRiley93 BOOK OF RECORDS.. it had been featured in several documentaries, NatGeo and Mythbusters. you may find these in Youtube. or simply googling them. No offense meant, I myself is a fan of the Bastard sword, Long Sword and shield. It just wont hurt to admit certain facts. or simply put.. please get over it ^_^ you are not being restricted to like ONLY one particular fighting style nor being forbidden to wield certain swords. the sky is limit, my friend.
@MrBoneStripper98 in the americas (and probably other places too) some tribes used wooden swords with pieces of sharpened obsidian which being like glass can be made many times sharper than steel as the blade. while i think that that would be a crappy sword it is sharper
oh yea lol (i actualy love obsidian) obsidian is realy strong i wonder what a full sword blade made of pure obsidian be like. probly realy brittle but it would look cool.
it would work but you would need the right kind of glass, pirex,(probly not though) lexan, or that one stuff it has a rippley apearance to it but i hit a big window of it with a hammer as hard as i could (old condemd building) and it just dented the the spot where i hit and not alot ether just where the hammer made contact, something like that would probly be your best bet.
or maybe trilon but i think thats only a coating, yea if you do, do it though (lol) i would forge it like steel and fold it like they do for a katana (it will take a very long time) till you have several thousand "layers" if you do it though (witch would be awsome) let me know. go to my wall or channel and let me know.
Obsidian IS glass and it sharpens to the molecular level but only if knapped,flaked or sheared.Other methodes to work it can produce sharp edges but not at its best.This only works as glass is harder than Steel(being 5 on the Mohs scale)but so brittle it cant be used in large pieces without snapping
@heurodis sharpest, that's a pretty silly thing to say. the katana is excellent for cutting flesh, but you know, it'll never cut through chain mail like many western swords will. everything has a use and nothing is 'best'
Your response shows a little bit of knowledge on blades.simple glass and obsidian produce the sharpest edges known to man when knapped,flaked or sheared because they shear to the molecular level.
Medical speciman cutting machines utilize a piece of fractured glass to shave frozen samples for optical microscopes.Many blades are sharper than the Katana-mostly of knife size as sharpness is determined by hardness(to a large part) and the harder the blade the more brittle it becomes.
toughness determines the edge holding ability and "strength" of the blade.Katana also had the micro serations of forge welded steel to assist with cutting ability.
@heurodis Scalpel is not a sword, it is a mere surgical knife. True it is sharp, but the katana would win against the scalpel if put in a battle. So that makes the Katana he best Edged Weapon on earth.
@billyspurr Yeah, everyone in Japan knows him as an Aikido and Kenjutsu master and trainer. Here in the U.S. he's simply known as the grunting and snorting Tatsu from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
He uses a very short tsuka on his sword. I could never get comfortable with a tsuka under 11 inches and his looks to be shorter than that. Of course i have big hands though.
@theawakener7 Well Aikido is based partly on the sword. Most techniques are taught as a series of sword cuts so a demontration of tamagashiri is as much a demonstration of Aikido as demonstrating the more "peaceful" neckbreaking techniques such as kaiten nage. :D
There are many reasons one might question Toshishiro Obata, he has made a lot of people angry over the years. One way you cannot question him is on his skill with a sword. To do so would show the height of ignorance.
To those talking mess about the power and speed he puts into his tameshigiri cuts, you should already know the mats represent human limbs and as such realize obata practices his swordsmanship in the thought of a real fight. Which means yes even though he could cut the mats with far less force then hes using, would you really swing softly if someone were trying to kill you with a sword? Its all about the basic military principle of train the way you would really fight.
Its so funny to read some of these comments about some of these dudes trying to analyze than give their masterful professional critique of a world reknown master of the sword who would cut them down before they realized it. Its also funny how the white dude has his top knot lol.
His form is very good, but he seems like he uses way more than the force required to cut the mats. His movements are very wide and so is his stance, he could cut those mats with just as much skill and precision with a quarter of the effort he is using.
I was expecting a little more than this from toshishiro obata. Hes swinging his sword like a bat!

@MrBoneStripper98 And look on blows that Japanese fencer gives, most of them is from behind of head, when those plows are powerful but very slow and they expose all chest and abdomen. Fencer with saber in les than a second will cut guts out before fencer with katana will end his move.

i have watched a lot of katana sword work and thats not very true considering they wher mostly attaking oppnents that wher armored they sruck where it was the most efficiant. and if that be the neck, abdomen, leg, arm, ect. ect. this is just a demo.

Don't punish the coming generations for what previous did. That's not fair. To yourself and them

Canoots 1 year ago
@Canoots BAHAHAHAH that's pretty funny dude. but surely you're aware that the "mats" you just mentioned have more or less the same sturdiness and resilience of a human limb. The Katana is the 2nd SHARPEST blade in the world. 2nd only to the SCALPEL. and it is the SHARPEST SWORD overall. hehe. a little bit of respect would cost you nothing but a humbled soul.
heurodis 1 year ago 40
@heurodis A blade is only as sharp as someone makes it. One style of blade is not guaranteed to be sharper then another. Stop getting so wrapped up in the JSA, and realize there are other swords and other forms of swordsmanship out there, which are just as good, and take just as much skill.
Tendrax 1 year ago
@Tendrax Oh did I give you that impression that I was wrapped up in the JSA?. for that Mea Culpa. I meant only to give you the fact. oh and to express my incredulity of "Canoots" statement. I will never nor will you ever hear me, claim that JSA or it's form is the best at its field. You on the other hand is rather being too defensive. perhaps you should consider the content of my words? I've already expressed my desire for a little respect, surely you could be agreeable to that.
heurodis 1 year ago
@heurodis Hhaha nice post! :D Me like! And I agree, the Japanease are such an extraordinary and fascinating people. Due to the lack of resources on the islands of Japan they had to utilize what little they had so they created weapons of incredible quality. Durability was very sought after. I wish I was born Japanease... :(
FoggyFishburne 1 year ago
@heurodis Just because it is a katana, doesn't make it the sharpest blade in the world. ANY sword can be sharpened as sharp or sharper than a katana.
ChrisRiley93 1 year ago
@ChrisRiley93 mmmmm I meant no disrespect ChrisRiley93 but surely you understand that a sword is FORGED and not merely sharpened?? meaning and I've not intention to injure your pride, that it's base elements are crucial to and directly related to it's sharpness. the Katana was made in a unique style that enables it to be durable and be extremely sharp.. oh and I may have made a mistake by not putting a quotation mark. That claim (sharpest sword, 2ndsharpest blade) is WRITTEN in the BOOK OF RECOR

@ChrisRiley93 BOOK OF RECORDS.. it had been featured in several documentaries, NatGeo and Mythbusters. you may find these in Youtube. or simply googling them.

what is the sharpest???
MrBoneStripper98 11 months ago
@MrBoneStripper98 in the americas (and probably other places too) some tribes used wooden swords with pieces of sharpened obsidian which being like glass can be made many times sharper than steel as the blade. while i think that that would be a crappy sword it is sharper
smokescreenninjato 11 months ago
@smokescreenninjato
oh yea lol (i actualy love obsidian) obsidian is realy strong i wonder what a full sword blade made of pure obsidian be like. probly realy brittle but it would look cool.
MrBoneStripper98 11 months ago
@MrBoneStripper98 i have always wanted to try make a glass sword, with the right kinds of glass I think it would work
smokescreenninjato 11 months ago
@smokescreenninjato
it would work but you would need the right kind of glass, pirex,(probly not though) lexan, or that one stuff it has a rippley apearance to it but i hit a big window of it with a hammer as hard as i could (old condemd building) and it just dented the the spot where i hit and not alot ether just where the hammer made contact, something like that would probly be your best bet.
MrBoneStripper98 11 months ago

smokescreenninjato 11 months ago
@smokescreenninjato
or maybe trilon but i think thats only a coating, yea if you do, do it though (lol) i would forge it like steel and fold it like they do for a katana (it will take a very long time) till you have several thousand "layers" if you do it though (witch would be awsome) let me know. go to my wall or channel and let me know.
MrBoneStripper98 11 months ago
Obsidian IS glass and it sharpens to the molecular level but only if knapped,flaked or sheared.Other methodes to work it can produce sharp edges but not at its best.This only works as glass is harder than Steel(being 5 on the Mohs scale)but so brittle it cant be used in large pieces without snapping
jadekayak01 11 months ago
@heurodis sharpest, that's a pretty silly thing to say. the katana is excellent for cutting flesh, but you know, it'll never cut through chain mail like many western swords will. everything has a use and nothing is 'best'
lusteraliaszero 1 year ago
Your response shows a little bit of knowledge on blades.simple glass and obsidian produce the sharpest edges known to man when knapped,flaked or sheared because they shear to the molecular level.
Medical speciman cutting machines utilize a piece of fractured glass to shave frozen samples for optical microscopes.Many blades are sharper than the Katana-mostly of knife size as sharpness is determined by hardness(to a large part) and the harder the blade the more brittle it becomes.
jadekayak01 11 months ago
toughness determines the edge holding ability and "strength" of the blade.Katana also had the micro serations of forge welded steel to assist with cutting ability.
jadekayak01 11 months ago
@heurodis Scalpel is not a sword, it is a mere surgical knife. True it is sharp, but the katana would win against the scalpel if put in a battle. So that makes the Katana he best Edged Weapon on earth.

@theawakener7 Well Aikido is based partly on the sword. Most techniques are taught as a series of sword cuts so a demontration of tamagashiri is as much a demonstration of Aikido as demonstrating the more "peaceful" neckbreaking techniques such as kaiten nage. :D

There are many reasons one might question Toshishiro Obata, he has made a lot of people angry over the years. One way you cannot question him is on his skill with a sword. To do so would show the height of ignorance.
Iaazathoth 1 year ago
To those talking mess about the power and speed he puts into his tameshigiri cuts, you should already know the mats represent human limbs and as such realize obata practices his swordsmanship in the thought of a real fight. Which means yes even though he could cut the mats with far less force then hes using, would you really swing softly if someone were trying to kill you with a sword? Its all about the basic military principle of train the way you would really fight.

artfan101 1 year ago
His form is very good, but he seems like he uses way more than the force required to cut the mats. His movements are very wide and so is his stance, he could cut those mats with just as much skill and precision with a quarter of the effort he is using.
