Kuba vs. Sadoos Katana fight 2 :P

[Sqlldude]

That looks like alot of fun:D I'ma try this with my friend!:D Have fun dudes!:D

[onelove4ever]

dear god i hope i dont look like that when im training (no offense)

[arthuspendragon]

Maybe you should try to train in armor (Gloves + Gambeson [padded armor]) then you needn't try to evade the blows. It would make your fights look more realistic. It is a nice try an with some training you could become good swordsman

[Brianyip1]

u have no skills whatsoever -_-

[Sadoos]

Did I ever say I do?

[RaiteiKazuo]

btw u shld practice using full swings. Try bringing the bokken back quite abit and then swinging down as hard as u can. Stop during mid-swing and i think u shld get the basic idea and develop frm there.....

[RaiteiKazuo]

Most of the time u guys are swinging randomly and not trying to hit ur bokkens against each others. Ur avoiding too much and this screws with ur technique. And u guys are pulling ur bokkens back too far. what u shld do is hold them ALMOST straight and dont avoid each other too much. it's essential that u attack and not lock swords. This is more or less a basic piece of info for using bokkens. Try finding sum1 more experienced at using a bokken and get them to teach u guys.

[MalnerProductions]

you are holding the bokken wrong.

[RaiteiKazuo]

agreed

[jeremyireland]

I'm sorry that you don't have dojo around. However, even a bokken is a very specific weapon. Being a kyoshi in kenjutsu, I've seen many people get seriously hurt with bokken when they don't know what they are doing. I can clearly see that you guys don't know what you're doing, so just be careful. I recommend if you're just gonna free spare get some actionflex bokken and maybe some head gear just to protect yourself. Even my advanced students use these tool when sparring.

[demonslaughter0990]

has anyone thought these two are justing having some random fun. i fight bokken with my friends all the time. we all suck and just slice at each other. but we have fun. cut these dudes some slack

[Sadoos]

Yeah that's great fun. Haven't done it for quite a long period of time though :(

[Sadoos]

no chance :(:( No dojo around. Shame :(

[Hawaiianstile]

bottom line. learn to use them before um using them lol then you wont look retarded lol

[Sadoos]

Well, I cheer myself up saying I'm not the worst among bokken swingers on youtube, and well it's true just watch some of the sparrings.If we look retarded, I'm afraid to ask what some of the rest looks like :]

[Hawaiianstile]

a good point indeed, but you should try taking kendo its about the most inexpencive martial art there is to take, and hella fun too

[theressomany]

As much I can see you think too much about getting hit by the sword. I mean when you strike and then try to avoid each others swords, and so you lose balance and become funny. Dont mind aboud defend so much, japanese swordmanship is about offense. And offense is about speed and balance.

[JosephTheBrokenPlate]

Very nice. :)

Try to keep in mind though, the sword is often used as an extension of the arm. I noticed a lot that you try and use the point only. Try to make the sword flow with your body, almost as to make it a quick dance. I don't think doing the YMCA would win you the fight, lol, but, still a very good video.

I need to upload another video soon. :D

[demon69120]

Cool stuff... but your "attacks" are a lil to short... stay in one battle and the videos will be supreme(Atleast I like them)

[TheAlmightyBchild]

Matches like these are fought realistically. A killing blow ends the encounter and scores a point. The combatants then return to their starting positions and begin again.

[Vulpics]

Pfft, Argue all you want. I'd say they are off to a good start.

[DJMOCRO07]

You guys suck you need some lesson's from me xD

[Sadoos]

Well, if we speak about sucking, you certainly are someone to give lessons.

[DJMOCRO07]

suckers you suck to much you need by learned the way of the samurai Muhahuahahua lozersss

[Sadoos]

yeah, bad ass comment, If you could only speak more understandable english, I'd be pleased :]

[DJMOCRO07]

Cry Cry you nobody the only thing you can is play with little things and not with a reall japanese sword

You and you cheap wouden or what ever things you got in your hand in that little agly video of yours muahuahuaauhaau Pwnd

[Sadoos]

Looking at what you say and checking out your channel simply makes me laugh, that's all I've got to say to you :D

[RaiteiKazuo]

You fuck head. If u wanna fight with a real katana go ahead and dig ur grave. UR A FUCKING DICK!!!!!!! People fight with bokken all the time. The alternative is a bamboo sword. Seriously. If u wanna make fun of these guys for just trying to use a wooden sword, all i can say is that ur an idiot. When i say that i mean it in the most inhumane way. Your bran cannot dunction with the thought that most people dont wanna die from practicing. That is all

[RaiteiKazuo]

lol.... agreed.....

[ShadowScarab]

and you would know the `way of the samurai` would you?

[dauhp]

pah

[Sadoos]

umm, can you be more precise?

[poopwadmcgee]

i am still impressed on how good you guys are. just sayin.

cool video. :)

[konttka]

looks like fencing..

[neomartinm]

borring...

[Munkerzz]

Not terrible at sparing, though I think you better at tricking from what youve posted.

Try to keep the sword more central to your body so your better protected. When your stricking and your opponent is on the defencive, try a little deception by bringing your bokken as if you about to strike the neck one way then in a whipping motion bring it round and srike the other side.

[Sadoos]

thanks for the comment, we both weren't sparring a lot and had no formal training so we couldn't have been very good at sparring. And well I certainly am better at Kenvert, but still long way to be perfect

[ShadowScarab]

hey sadoos it's me scarab from the sword temple, no offense meant at all but you both need to continue with a follow through when you strike.

[Sadoos]

I never get offended when someone just makes comments with constructive criticism :] I'm fed up with haters, not the group mates :D

[ShadowScarab]

so hows life your end?

[Sadoos]

if you just could use less spoken english, i can't seem to understand that :P

[ShadowScarab]

sorry, how are you?

[Tomosan2888]

I think this is good... You both show some good qualities, you are both looking for and finding the gap in your opponents defense and attacking it. The technique, posture (especially the footwork) needs work. But on the whole I liked it :)

[janusmagus]

just a thought...you guys seem to fight in a linear fashion. Sometimes sidestepping an attack is far better than blocking.

[gothicluke]

if u guys dont use katanas dont call it katana fight wtf

[Sadoos]

oh shit, u killed me, damn, it was like a tanto in my kidneys xD If you have naruto videos don't call urself gothicluke. Dude 'WTF?' is the thought that came to my mind when i read your comment. DO you know what a bokken is?

[ZeKoolio123]

I feel that Kuba extends his left arm too far out, but other than that, you guys have great form. You guys have skill, unlike half of the videos with bokken on youtube ^^

[Sadoos]

We are not that good. But well, at least you don't cry when u watch our vids :P Well as you can see above there are a lot of idiots who can't apperciate skills of backyard-martial artists :P

[ZeKoolio123]

XD backyard martial arts are fine =P

like, they may not be taught in a dojo, but when it comes down to practical use, its just as good =P

[Sadoos]

lol, thanks for supporting :)

[RaiteiKazuo]

actually learning backyard martial arts is dangerous without proper guidance.... just avoid hurting urselves... k???

[LKSLKS6]

ty neumíš bojovat s bokkenem,takže si nemáme co vyčítat :-D

[Sadoos]

nigdy nie powiedziałem że umiem debilu. co się przypiedalasz. Idiota. A ty umiesz że komentujesz mnie? Umiesz sobie nawyżej wsadzić go w dupę.

[LKSLKS6]

You are too much watch tv...:-D

[Sadoos]

ne umis mluwit angelski . spierdalaj

[julounin]

Slang in Polish always sounds so awesome. Every time I hear "spierdalaj" or "kurwa" it's like music to my ears. My family is Polish by the way, and I can speak Polish well myself. However I stink when it comes to writing.

Any way, take care.

[Sadoos]

In this case using not very appropriate language was unavoidable :P

[LKSLKS6]

nerozumím ty buzerantské polské hovno...you don't know how to use bokken...you are stupid!!

[LKSLKS6]

lol!Young Warriors with bokken....:-D

[Sadoos]

Nie będę sie wysilał, mieszkasz blisko to zrozumiesz. Powiem wprost, spierdalaj jebany czechu. Jeb się. Rozumiś?

[LKSLKS6]

small boys...lol

[Sadoos]

you must learn to speak english, I regret to inform you that I'm better with bokken than you are in english :]

[kometsky]

Job well done, Kuba needs to focus more though. a lot of the moves serve little purpose. Kudos to Piotr for the better technique.

[Sam0raiX]

Lol i loved the beginning lol priceless.

Some kendo classes or iaido classes should do

[Sadoos]

poszedłbym na cokolwiek, kendo, iaido, kenjutsu, nawet koreańskie gum do, ale po pierwsze nie ma czasu, po drugioe pieniędzy a po trzecie jest tylko aikido w pobliskiej Jeleniej górze, na którym na pewno szybko sie do miecza nie dorwe ;(

[JuilesSnorf]

tak to fajnie widziec, ze w polsce dzieci (sorry ;P ) nadal potrafial sie bawic na padwórku. a nie jak te muly w niemcach, co nie wiedza co soba robic...

poszukal se szkole na kendo albo iaido, jezeli ci sie podoba ten "sport" zawsze cos nowego sie douczysz

[remofthelight]

i realy like how you didnt stage is good. ive studied under Remten for 6 years so if you got any questions.... ;)

[BrianRoxUrSox]

do you comment on anything where you dont mention that? Good for you

[kalorful]

another thing: grip

right hand grips close to the handguard

left hand's pinky finger rests below the pommel, use the four fingers remaining to grip the handle.

[35mmpaintbrush]

WOW omfg thank you finally someone posts a video of two people ACTUALLY SPARING and not setup...seriously good shit dude after watching so much of the other crap i wanted to show these fakes a real fight and i see you have good job i'll try to get my video posted soon.

[kalorful]

As a sidenote

Try using the Upper stance (like in those samurai movies, sword raised above head) and combine it with Kendo shomen strikes (like quick cut to the head)

In my experience its the best move to counter the middle stance.

[markleslierobert]

quite entertaining

[xxkanielaxx]

it kinda seems ur stabing XP

[xxkanielaxx]

i'm pretty sure the katana is more of a cuting weapon rather then a stabing one. =/

and what kalorful says is true

[Sadoos]

u can cut and stab with sword, i don't see anything bad in stabbing with katana :P

[Avieon]

you both have outstanding raw talent. i think that with some refinement and practice, you could both become truly outstanding sworsdmen.

[Avieon]

as for kuba, i dont have much advice. however, near the end, you started to drop your guard from your waist down, while keeping a steady offense towards piotr. you might want to consider balancing your defense to all parts of your body, including legs, even at the sacrifice of power, but thats just my suggestion.

[Avieon]

you are really talented. my only advice for piotr would be, try not to retreat so much when kuba lunges. the best thing to do i think would be, in agreement with kalorful, to step forward towards the attack. if you must retreat, consider trying a sidestep.also, you could try a few more upward swings. i say this because as i watched your video, i noticed that you swing towards the legs alot. nearly every time you did, kuba would strike your arm or chest.

[cashwell]

its all about when he contracts you retract then when he retracts you contract got it

[ActernusNox]

All these people posting videos on youtube just make me cocky and I am doing my best not to be.

[RoninAshes]

hm Sadoos bez obrazy ale wykasuj ten shit xD to troche zalosne... xD

[Sadoos]

thanks dude i appreciate every single piece of advice, i'll keep that in mind and repeat that to my sparring dude :]

[kalorful]

u guys look pretty good for someone who doesn't train professionally

best tip i can give u, dun retreat when u block. Step towards the strike when u block, and u will be in a better position to counterstrike.

I know this coz i have stick fights with my ninja friend all the time :D

[Ayman250]

do you guys even know what the hell you're doing?

[Sadoos]

yes we do, we just try to hit each other with red oak sticks from Japan XD

[ssjoel3k]

Not a bad fight, I'm no fan of the music, but like u said, that's a matter of opinion. Otherwise the fightings pretty good. Besides, I can agree with you on the dojo thing, cause where I live there's no dojos around. Although if I were you, I wouldn't call myself a backyard bokken swinger, cause it makes you sound like an amateur, even though you probably have at least some experience just from practicing, I just call myself a 'self-trainer' cause I have no dojos and just books.

[Sadoos]

I call myself backyard swinger because that's what i think I am, I have no professional training not even books, only some advices on the youtube, as you said we have some experience but the experience is too little to call ourselves fighters :)

[ssjoel3k]

Yea true, but a good amount of sword skills comes from experience,instinct and reflexes. For example someone who may have 1 month of professional training would most likely lose to a person whos had experience sword fighting people for a year without professional training.

[Sadoos]

well that's sounds true :P

[BloodyMarryMe]

well, an advice: If u really want to learn kendo & don't have any dojos or clubs around go and watch some kendo sparing tournaments on youtube. It wont help a lot but....I don't see any other way. But that's only if u REALLY want to learn kendo. Cause, no offence but this is really not it.

[Sadoos]

Of course it's not kendo :P We just mess around trying to create own style ;] If we tried to make it look like kendo we would use shinai :P:P:P

[supernaruto66]

you bastards took my theme song. and i'll kill you both in sword fighting

[Sadoos]

Ok, then demonstrate that and post a sparring video I'd honestly like to watch some :)

[BASEnutter]

I'll settle this. The song is crap...and i'm only a jujitsu person, so sword against fists wouldn't be fair....:D

[Sadoos]

I think you should not say whether the song is crap or not since it depends on ones taste ;) And well our fights are only fun so i don't think i'd like to stand against any professional martial artist :P

[BASEnutter]

Well...wouldn't use the word "professional"...i'm only yellow belt.

[Sadoos]

but you have a professional training :P And i'm a backyard bokken-swinger :P

[BASEnutter]

Your better than me with a bokken though.

[Sadoos]

Maybe, i dunno :P
