I love martial arts, right up to the point when it gets silly with all this finger wrestling and the episode where the guy screams and almost knocks his opponent out and then proceeds to ring a huge bell by screaming at it, oh, that's right, while he slams his foot on the floor. Could it be the slamming foot ringing the bell maybe? hmmm
@roshagawa He was just pointing to the different parts of the body the swordsman was attacking, and saying the parts independently of his gestures, stop looking for flaws and be happy someone spends their time making videos like these for you.
@Cillik1 The proper names for all of the styles that Kuroda Tetsuzan practices can be found in the information section under the video. Just hit the 'show more'.
chris the creator is a cunt.. i used to go up snowden with him when i was a kid with my uncle and my dad.. and my uncle mike had this idea and went on about it for years..chris took it and earned hundreads of thousands by stealing my uncles idea...thats why he's the biggest cunt in the world.. -.-
@GaolisVideoLog no.. it was to travel around the world learning different martail arts to different parts of the world.. he talked to criss about it allmost every day..
@DarkfireFX Oh, I see. That's too bad. But I also think that a lot of people have that dream. I would also love to travel around and learn different styles. I don't know Chris Crudelli, but I wouldn't be angry at him for this. You should be happy.
the sword is more than just a long sharp blade,it is a symbol held high in the eyes of the warrior class.true swordsman in todays world is rare thing indeed..we are about to enter the space age,lets not forget that the keys to future can be found in the past,to all who care i say to you the sword was here since the begining of time, and yes,it will be here till the end of time. why?becouse the sword is a spirit,GOD BLESS ALL TRUE SWORDSMAN OF THE WORLD,,the swordsman,,hector.
@sphoney it's a hakama, and you should be able to buy them from any martial arts store. If not, buy it online, should cost roughly $100 for a decent one.
hi i am a true swordsman,stuck in the usa.life here is as fake as cAN BE,i want to go to japan since i was13 years old,instead im oklahoma,i wrote 150 poems i want published in asia,can you help?look for my work on utube,icon warrior class swordsman,i need a sponsor who can see me to japan,there im worth billions,here imworth notthing,do you know the story about the gift of 7swords?or the samuri/knight?i wrote 1of them,the other is true story,write to me,the swrdsman from brooklyn,,hector
@iconsword i understand your sorrow of living in the states, we need people conscious on such discipline to align our surroundings towards a better way
this is a beautiful art but still an art of murder but i can see 1 flaw that i see with all weapons closeing the distance renders the katana useless my perferd weapon is vambracers or iron forearm guards
@randyroo2 Its been said that the sword should serve as protection in itself, the sword is the shield. Many of the techniques of the katana are two handed but even aside from that alot of samurai carried other weapons other than a sword, and having something like a shield could be a hindrance to movement.
that pinky thing was a lot aikido based. Also, with the fast sword thing, i just thought of kenshin, and that boy who had "no emotion" ergo, no predictability.
Forgot to mention that Kuroda-sensei is only one of the 15 soke in his family system that knows the "Mirrored Blade" technique. Kuroda-sensei is a great and wonderful teacher. If you ever get a chance to meet him like I did, be sure to bring a note-book or electronic recorder to take notes. He's full of wisdom and teaches well in form and technique.
A martial artist trains to surpass himself daily, the day you stop expanding in understanding is the day your spirit begins to die. This internal decay is reflected externally - as within so without, your reality unfolds from the inside out. A man who has defeated his inner "demons" is beyond the common mans ability to comprehend, much less control or kill. For his power goes beyond worldly skill.
Martial arts is a journey of daily discovery, of what lays just beyond the self.
my comments are not allowed,i wiil type and my work will be reroted,this computer and the geeks on it with me is a terrarizing nightmare,they control it all,,bottom line,i want to go to japan,my poems,my storys,my talents,are for the poeple of asia,japan china,korea,here i am alone,wounded and hunted by dogs,they wont let me seek help,as im abused by so many,so offen it sucks,,,hector.

Kuroda is an exceptional martial artist preserving one of the few unchanged, pre-meiji battlefield arts still around today. The host was a bit annoying to me though.
Has anyone here read the novel Dune? His techniques sound awfully like the fighting style called the Weirding Way: Applying large amounts of force through small movements and moving so fast you can't be 'seen'.
Although in the book it's based on different principles, the end result seems much the same.
the sword skills are fucking brilliant, but the pinky wrestling bit is so obviously bullshit the other guy just rolls over voluntarily when the master pushes.
@ArcReforged it's because he's resting his bodyweight on his right elbow and his right hand is the one being pushed, if he didn't roll over his finger would be broken or his balance would be upset and he'd fall hard onto his chest when his elbow slipped out
You said, "...martial arts are a branch of one main style" True in certain cases(especially in the case of karate and hapkido), but not totally accurate, as many countries have developed their own seperate arts. For example, Capoeira from Angola to Brazil, French Savate, Muay Thai, etc. But it true that fighting concepts can be found in more than one style, just packaged differently according to the given culture and philosophy.
@birdfly43 boxing works better for some things..one thing for sure, if you wanted to do this martial art your boxing training would help with speed. but boxing punches are basically unmatched for speed and overall damage. nothin wrong with being a boxer. cross train in a japanese martial art and you'll be a great well rounded fighter.
@itsumonihon I'm not downing boxing as it is an amazing system for speed and power but everyone has their opinions of their system having unmatched speed or power. When Discovery channel used a crash test dummy the boxer did not win for power, neither did the kung fu artist etc. etc. the most powerful hit was from a hammer fist buy a long time practitioner of a Ninja style of fighting, he also won with balance and stability and blew them away. Even he was amazed that years brought him to this.
I'm a Muay Thai fighter, and I like to look at other martial arts , and train some of their moves, Just a fun think to do, like jointlocks for example
The speed of the sword kata of the Sensei Kuroda is impressive !!, also the way he handles the body mechanics,and his speed of sword drawing is really fast!.
dood. its all in his soft kata. very cool how his sword and the idea of deception and hidden techniques aren't ideas at all. in him he and the sword are one in deception.
*scrathes head* can someone explain to me what makes this so great? all i see is normal block and follow through techniques. im not saying this guy is bad..i just dont see the greatness in this technique
That is because he executed the technique so fluidly and swiftly and take it from someone who knows. This level of profinciency is mcu desired in the art of the sword.
I think we should learn something from Japanese culture overall; Learn everything you possibly can, and amalgamate and combine it into something wonderful.
Hm, I suggest you watch the vid "Fechten mit dem langen schwert" here on youtube.
I'll think knights and samurai were equal, no matter were. Think about hans Thalhoffer, Gerbert of Aurillac, Johannes Liechtenauer, Peter von Danzig, Kunbert von Berchtoldsheim, just to mention some of "our" masters.
And go and watch the channel "Sword-Buyers-Guide" (mention me if you wright Paul)
Thank you. I'm just given you facts, I never meant to insult or offend you. But I don't know how this metalurgist comes to this weight, yes full marching equipment was about 40-60 kilos, but think aboout that people back then were trained their whole life longs and were much stronger and more durable than today.
Benchpress 100 kgs, impressive, I do about the same (maybe 5 kilos lesser).
When you look at my profile, you'll see that I own a medieval club. I also own full plate mail armors and other armors and weapons from all ages of history and cultures.
And no armor plus weapon exceeded ever 35 kg. 120 kilos is just unrealistic and not true.
And that longsword seems to be not tempered and not forged out of high carbon steel.
At the 16 century we might lost our knights, but we still had dedicated warfares.
No I could not, as europeans had equivalent steels and equal blacksmiths, we have the dasmascus steel which is even stronger and more durable than the usual katana (in the sengoku jidai)?
120 kgs? Where the fuck do you get this fantasy facts? A standard plate armor, which weights about 20-25 kilos, and which can not easily be cut trough by any sword, would exhaust you by 2-3 hous of fightning.
What a nonsense! A katana could not cut a longsword in two, they are no engineering miracle! And in europe at that time we had well trained and equipped armies, as well as to war dedicated soldiers, like the landsknecht, who did earn the're entire life from war and fechten.
why would you want to cut through a long sword? If you watch Kuroda Sensei, her rarely makes contact with his opponents blade at all. All he would care about is cutting through your body. BTW, Saigō Takamori was a great samurai known to be able to cut through an entire body with a dull blade...my point is that the sword is not doing all of the cutting...the body is.
mmm interesting. one can also understand the nature of existence without any movement. in fact movement is a barrier when it comes to exploring the world beyond ego. and what a shame that man is so focused on fighting and the need to kick anyone's arse. one thing is certain: this man knows nothing about who he really is - otherwise he would drop all this sword nonesense.
If u are talking about the swordmaster, i think he looks calmed and peaceful, but fearsome. As a real samurai warrior. Some use an object for that (the sword for example), others empty hands (Karate)... all the ways to the wisdom are good ways dude, it's a personal choice.
well people can see martial arts as an artform. so thats one reason they use swords and also because sword fighting was used in japanese history, so they're keeping the tradition and not wanting to loose the skills and loose their history (in a way, im not sure any of that made sense).but in a practical sense, yeh, you use your body in fighting but having the skill to use a sword, would prove useful you could use the techniques with an object that could be used as a substitute (bad spling sorry)
thanks for your comment. its nice to see someone write something interesting and meaningful instead of just hurling abuse as so many do. So thanks for your comment. i guess tradition is very important for many people and their freedom to practice it is also important.
You need to go back and look at how armed and unarmed combat are intertwined.
The techniques that you learn holding a sword can be transferred to everyday objects..OR just your own limbs.
I too live in a country where carrying my swords will get me pulled up and questioned by the police....I didn't train in Kenjutsu so that I can "cut people in half"...I learmt it to compliment my unarmed skills and because I love it.
Today It's a form of art upaste. "If u want to feel youself secure, buy a gun"... taster, a dog or something like that, "u will save sweat, time and money" as my master said. Or call the police :) Sorry for my bad english.
Master Kuroda tricks Chris in his finger wrestling.
From 4:42 to 4:44 you can see the whole of Kurodas body move forward as he drops his body weight onto his left elbow. He moves his weight through and onto his right elbow/finger onto his opponent.
Chris does not see the transfer of power move in Korudas grounded body.
His swordsman ship is brilliant. He does well to hide any pre strike body movement but in his finger wrestling his body movement is not hidden from the camera. He's faking.
heavy armors have such weak points thats why they use long ranged weapons to take them down. in terms of skills i think the medieval japanese is more adept than that of the medieval european.the fact relies on here in asia came most martial arts. kung fu, karate, kenjutsu, kali, etc..
Don't be an idiot. Fighting in and against heavy armour is an art form in itself.
The West also has very well-documented systems of martial arts. Just look at the longsword, the dagger, the messer, the pollax, etc. You get the general idea.
His grammar was perfect. You're just retarded for interpreting "Grammar nazi here," as "You are a nazi." You clearly have trouble understanding basic English.
How can you claim to understand English better than me (or "more english" as you clumsily put it), when you neither know how to spell "buffoon", nor are your grammar and syntax good enough to form properly simple phrases such as "Why the fuck are you interfering here?" ?
Wonderful excuses (not really, "grammar Nazi" is a fairly common phrase, your fault for being ignorant), but neither of them account for how you stupidly asked "What the fuck are you interfering here?".
Notice also how you used "then" instead of "than" when you said "I understand more english then you do" as well as "It's not in your business" rather than "It's none of your business".
Your posts are full of the kind of mistakes and clumsy wording I'd expect from a primary school student.
Yes, indeed wonderful. As you can say "It's not in your business", I'm not interested in discussing this.
I'm not ignorant, but you are a asshole. I mean I didn't insult you, but you just call me a retard. And "grammar nazi" may be common in your country, but not in mine.
I'm speaking 5 languages and yes, sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes my spelling and grammar is horrible, but I'm not that kind of billingsgate you are.
And I'm sure you're not a perfect human either, so...SHUT UP!
The issue is not whether you are perfect or not but whether your command of the english language is as good as mine and the person you originally criticised for having 'horrible grammar', which, as you've grudgingly admitted in your most recent post, it patently isn't.
HaHa what a fucking queer. You have now benefit on this planet whatsoever, you have no purpose. Do the world a favour and kill yourself you fucking uneducated cunt

Thank you. I'm just given you facts, I never meant to insult or offend you. But I don't know how this metalurgist comes to this weight, yes full marching equipment was about 40-60 kilos, but think aboout that people back then were trained their whole life longs and were much stronger and more durable than today.
Benchpress 100 kgs, impressive, I do about the same (maybe 5 kilos lesser).
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
When you look at my profile, you'll see that I own a medieval club. I also own full plate mail armors and other armors and weapons from all ages of history and cultures.
And no armor plus weapon exceeded ever 35 kg. 120 kilos is just unrealistic and not true.
And that longsword seems to be not tempered and not forged out of high carbon steel.
At the 16 century we might lost our knights, but we still had dedicated warfares.
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
No I could not, as europeans had equivalent steels and equal blacksmiths, we have the dasmascus steel which is even stronger and more durable than the usual katana (in the sengoku jidai)?
120 kgs? Where the fuck do you get this fantasy facts? A standard plate armor, which weights about 20-25 kilos, and which can not easily be cut trough by any sword, would exhaust you by 2-3 hous of fightning.
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
What a nonsense! A katana could not cut a longsword in two, they are no engineering miracle! And in europe at that time we had well trained and equipped armies, as well as to war dedicated soldiers, like the landsknecht, who did earn the're entire life from war and fechten.

Master Kuroda's grand father could cut off the thieves body with back of gun barrel.
And grand father of father could cut the water.
Most important of kenjutsu, it is gravity power. Not only durable of Katana.
yagyuutomokage 2 years ago
Even the best kenjutsuka with the best knowledge of gravity power could not cut with a blunted and undurable katana.
And a katana can not cut through a longsword, as long as the longsword isn't made of bad and lacky iron.
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
why would you want to cut through a long sword? If you watch Kuroda Sensei, her rarely makes contact with his opponents blade at all. All he would care about is cutting through your body. BTW, Saigō Takamori was a great samurai known to be able to cut through an entire body with a dull blade...my point is that the sword is not doing all of the cutting...the body is.
talkfan 2 years ago
YOu have to figure how dull? Really blunted then he would never cut trough a hole body.
I just said would not cut through a longsword because jamjar posted it.

what good is a sword? in my city the police would arrest you carrying this. you need to use your body in fighting.

No one is using swords to fight people. I have no doubt in my mind Sensei Kuroda would kick your cocky ass with both hands tied to his back.
He understands human kinetics and the transferal of force, which is displayed though his sword and his movements.
Loopcow 3 years ago 2
mmm interesting. one can also understand the nature of existence without any movement. in fact movement is a barrier when it comes to exploring the world beyond ego. and what a shame that man is so focused on fighting and the need to kick anyone's arse. one thing is certain: this man knows nothing about who he really is - otherwise he would drop all this sword nonesense.
upaste 3 years ago
If u are talking about the swordmaster, i think he looks calmed and peaceful, but fearsome. As a real samurai warrior. Some use an object for that (the sword for example), others empty hands (Karate)... all the ways to the wisdom are good ways dude, it's a personal choice.

jothenater 2 years ago
well people can see martial arts as an artform. so thats one reason they use swords and also because sword fighting was used in japanese history, so they're keeping the tradition and not wanting to loose the skills and loose their history (in a way, im not sure any of that made sense).but in a practical sense, yeh, you use your body in fighting but having the skill to use a sword, would prove useful you could use the techniques with an object that could be used as a substitute (bad spling sorry)

thanks for your comment. its nice to see someone write something interesting and meaningful instead of just hurling abuse as so many do. So thanks for your comment. i guess tradition is very important for many people and their freedom to practice it is also important.
upaste 3 years ago
Ignorance is a waste of energy...
You need to go back and look at how armed and unarmed combat are intertwined.
The techniques that you learn holding a sword can be transferred to everyday objects..OR just your own limbs.
I too live in a country where carrying my swords will get me pulled up and questioned by the police....I didn't train in Kenjutsu so that I can "cut people in half"...I learmt it to compliment my unarmed skills and because I love it.

Master Kuroda tricks Chris in his finger wrestling.
From 4:42 to 4:44 you can see the whole of Kurodas body move forward as he drops his body weight onto his left elbow. He moves his weight through and onto his right elbow/finger onto his opponent.
Chris does not see the transfer of power move in Korudas grounded body.
His swordsman ship is brilliant. He does well to hide any pre strike body movement but in his finger wrestling his body movement is not hidden from the camera. He's faking.

I agree, it could be the correct way.
I checked Fake and Deceive in Word dictionary.
Fake -a move made by a player in attempt to mislead a sports opponent about the players intended play.
Adj - not genuine, but meant to be taken for genuine
Deceit n
1.the act or practice of deceiving or misleading somebody.
2.something that is done to trick or mislead somebody.
5:00 to 5:27 His centre moves through loosing balance and Chris says
The more I watch this vid the more I think, faking applies.

heavy armors have such weak points thats why they use long ranged weapons to take them down. in terms of skills i think the medieval japanese is more adept than that of the medieval european.the fact relies on here in asia came most martial arts. kung fu, karate, kenjutsu, kali, etc..

Don't be an idiot. Fighting in and against heavy armour is an art form in itself.
The West also has very well-documented systems of martial arts. Just look at the longsword, the dagger, the messer, the pollax, etc. You get the general idea.

ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
How can you claim to understand English better than me (or "more english" as you clumsily put it), when you neither know how to spell "buffoon", nor are your grammar and syntax good enough to form properly simple phrases such as "Why the fuck are you interfering here?" ?
Go back to school you semi-literate fool.
kingjamie2 2 years ago
Cause Bafoon is the ol' Irish way to write it. And I didn't know what a "grammar nazi" is, retard.
Now you go back to school and read the bible once again: "The one without failures may throw the first stone."
Now shut up.
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
Wonderful excuses (not really, "grammar Nazi" is a fairly common phrase, your fault for being ignorant), but neither of them account for how you stupidly asked "What the fuck are you interfering here?".
Notice also how you used "then" instead of "than" when you said "I understand more english then you do" as well as "It's not in your business" rather than "It's none of your business".
Your posts are full of the kind of mistakes and clumsy wording I'd expect from a primary school student.
kingjamie2 2 years ago
Yes, indeed wonderful. As you can say "It's not in your business", I'm not interested in discussing this.
I'm not ignorant, but you are a asshole. I mean I didn't insult you, but you just call me a retard. And "grammar nazi" may be common in your country, but not in mine.
I'm speaking 5 languages and yes, sometimes I make mistakes and sometimes my spelling and grammar is horrible, but I'm not that kind of billingsgate you are.
And I'm sure you're not a perfect human either, so...SHUT UP!
ExtremeDeathman 2 years ago
The issue is not whether you are perfect or not but whether your command of the english language is as good as mine and the person you originally criticised for having 'horrible grammar', which, as you've grudgingly admitted in your most recent post, it patently isn't.
kingjamie2 2 years ago
This was because of the term "grammar nazi" which was unknown to me.
I did excuse myself for insulting him on this term, but obviously you overread this.
So, as all things are clarified now, can we please stop to argue about this?
