practicing in the night or dark doesn't even make sense, this looks like some sort of parking garage or something, why there unless you are just attempting to teach yourself and in reality do not have an actual method of teaching
this guy looks like one of those LARP guys who doesn't know shit about actual martial practice, looks like all he's doing is flourishing the blades without any sense of actual pragmatics, PS actual practice doesn't involve so much spinning of the body,
This kata looks cool and complicated. But having studied Batto Do and Kenjutsu for the past 15 years, I have to say I am not impressed. There is no power in your strike you dont extend with your sword. I respect what you are trying to do, but you need practice. You should not swing your swords, instead extend with them and bring them down with the entire weight and power of your body. Also, never put your sword away like that.
maybe but i find a better style for dual swording is more based uppon the counter, bringing it down with your weight is fine but you wont be as quick on the responce defence. i prefer to let the blade do the work of the cut and my part is the counter.
ah, sweet, from what is actually visible it looks like you have some good skills, but its too damn dark, can't you reshoot it in a garage or a gym or something?
Its not easy to wield 2 swords with precision and strength. Its kinda awkward really. You automatically spend more time worrying about striking yourself. Thats why he doesn't look so convincing. 1 sword style is more comfortable and natural.
not really. think about it; when fighting hand to hand, do you worry about hitting yourself with your off hand? All it takes is a bit of practice and getting into the mind set of, "the sword is an extension of my arm." then, you just two really long, bladed arms. On the flip side, thats the reason you don't use a pair of katana: so you don't trip over the too long blades.
Well, obviously anyone couldn't do that, but it really was just a bunch of basic twirling. I'm not saying he's not a talented swordsman, just from the looks of this video (at least, what I could see) it was just a few fancy spins and twirls. None of the cuts had any force behind them.
believe me not anyone can do that!!! I've trained a few people that don't even understand the concept of block, cut, block, cut.... so no, I've trained with Revan and he is a very talented fighter! most people can't even keep track of one sword, let alone two! so open your mind before you open your mouth!
So your one of the few on here who looks like he knows something about swords, Would love to see it again in daylight? Keep up the good work, What martial art are you studying?

Good dexterity, but poor strikes. You would benefit from formal Kendo or Iaido sword training.
