  • so did that black dude pretend to fall?

  • @IIrond It's called ukemi, and ukemi is what you use to recieve a technique without getting hurt, he doesnt pretend to fall, he just flows with the movement and falls carefully

  • In logic we call that a red herring/argument ad hominem. Your original position was "The Hakama is not to hide the feet". Now you close the discussion by declaring the work "shitty". Define misleading please; and there you will find the irony. Put out a better video sir and then you can talk about quality, you do know how to use a camera?

  • I did not say you are wrong. I explained that there are alternative uses than the one you described. Yes, in battle, Hakama is tied snugly to the calves. Aside from this, they do hide foot/leg movement.

    Obviously your three degrees of "black belt" did not learn you the code of the foundations of peace or of fudoshin. Servitude to people is greater then arguing over definitions. Also, reading and interpreting carefully would serve your future well.

  • If you have ever worn them or lived in Japan and went shopping with the locals, you would know that they do hide the subtle movements of the legs and foot positions. Furthermore, historically they were not limited to the samurai class. This dress, hakama pants, was common wear from merchants to the ruling and power elite. Just because your American history book says one thing does not mean that it is the only way it was every done.
