New Yorkers Discover Way of the Samurai with Forza

[Diva120]

This is an amazing GYM class. It is never billed as a martial arts class or defense class. If you have tried it and think it's goofy - ok, but don't bash it because you THINK it's silly.

I'd like to try this as well, however my hometown is too bootleg for something like this. Our Gold's gym just closed its doors and kept everyone's money with no warning except "closed, out of business" .

i try to tell in a way that you yankies can understand

go to a real kendo class and get your ass cicked (deaply), then realize what is giapanese sword and what is nothing

[lovefunbeer]

@kendoigorilla your a damn @ss this is a work out plan there not warriors they are just trying to be fit let them live and keep your fucking negative shit to you self you fucking brit

[kendoigorilla]

@lovefunbeer

then why use a sword? where is the point? if there is interest in latana usage you have to study how it work, how it cut, how to move your body in relationship with a antagonist, etcetra.

in other words hou to fight

i'm not negative i'm objective if the katana or boken is just a weight use a weight, a indian club a kettelbell or whatever else! it seem that for americans fullfill your mouth with samurai, warriors, japan and so on without any idea about, it's cool. Realy sad

This is a "wanna Be, Tai Bo".. Just call it "Ken Bo".. I'm not against working out or making money, but you pay for what you get.. If the instructor took Martial Arts training, why doesn't she just teach it? I just don't want people like "Tai Bo", feels like they took Self Defense training and start having UFC Fights.. Just saying, if you like this crap, Mind as well go to a real Kendo Class.. Than you'll see your not working out either, your protecting your loves ones from an asshole..

@topshonuff Why don't you keep your negative crap to yourself. Unfortunately in this video you don't see too much of the actual workout. First of all, yes, Ilaria is a Martial Artist, holding several black belts in different disciplines. Also, she trains Sword fighting herself with a REAL SWORD at a martial arts facility. Moreover, her workout are adapted to fit into a gym setting so obviously it's not real martial arts, but it's based on the discipline. I have been taking this class for 4 years

@huskine0721 Greetings.I wasn't trying to be Negative, But to informed People of what their Doing.My comment was, if they enjoy working out, sweating and being discipline, why Don't they just Join a Real Kendo Class.I took Kendo Class and Yes it's very hard, that's why I Recognize some of these Routines.You get more if you go to a Real Class and You can Defend yourself.Maybe even get a Black Belt. I'm still calling this a "Tai Bo Wanna Be".. You do get 2 Free Classes to any martial Arts Class.

id love to try that.

[BorovnianHeir]

If you can't attend her class you can buy her Forza workout and try it at home.

If you're interested in the japanese sword I would suggest Kendo instead of this. This is just aerobics with a stick.

[topshonuff]

I'm with you, just try a real martial arts class.. You will be in shape of how hard you push yourself..
