RSW 2008_11_30a (Sparring European long sword vs Katana)

[volarion]

@kamakana30 see v=ln94E9AGYTc. they do pretty good

[kamakana30]

its gay that no one can actually fight like tha did back when the still exsited.

[DarkBlaze1000]

its a shame that kendo pros dont really get paid let alone the kind of money boxers earn just found that out and it really made me upset

[DarkBlaze1000]

its not that katana doesnt know what hes doing long sword guy is just faster and on a high skill level then him but with the hard pratice he'll be fine if i were him instead

of salking about the lost id observe his movements and apply them to my own

to become a better fighter that all

over all nice vid :)

[DarkBlaze1000]

can you become pro at this sort of thing

is this a sport can you get paid

what kind of equipment did they use in this video and where can i buy some in north carolina dick's sporting goods?

i really what to become a pro in sword fighting but someone told me that kendo doesnt allow the use of the wooden longsword and thats my problem

can you help me?

[ihaterobbie123]

the guy with the "katana" has no clue what he's doing...

[gregbreinholt]

quit your whining

[duskbladex]

@gregbreinholt no he srsly doesnt... just because he has a costume and a sword, doesnt mean he knows a damned thing

[carlern55]

i mean the tequnices sorry if i writed it wrong! wrong long sword tequnices! wrong wach some long sword teqnice videos on youtube! Ps: the Higlanders did figth that way there wear no tequnices thet needed to figth with those wepons!

[gregbreinholt]

Sorry, all the attacks in your video were against the opponents shields; this makes no sense!

This is not a good technique (unless part of some feint), and I do not know of any style that does this.

I would like to see the 'fighters' try this in actual sparring, rather than choreogrqphed; they will get cut to pieces!

[soundshade]

The guy with the longsword should try steping around more rather then going head on. I fight longsword and it looks to me that he is more easten trained then westen.

[gregbreinholt]

You are absolutely right.

This was a year ago...but I still have lots to learn.

[xytar12]

nice... I like it

keep up the sparring :D

[haifad]

claymore person should yield the sword more, instead of fighting with the katana guy with strenght, and he should also rely on using his false edge to attack :)

[insertoriginaluser]

This looks way fun xD I wonder if I can join you guys sometime just for fun? (I don't think I'll be able to join sgsparring though...)

P.S. Greg, we've met before :D

[gregbreinholt]

It sure is! :-)

Come on down to Toa Payoh city park at 10.30 Sunday morning.... but let me know who you are first

[gregbreinholt]

Yes, I agree completely :-)

[dsdarken]

People should spar different with styles unlike their own alot more often in my opinion, Good stuff ^_^.
