@ThatGuyFromAustria The same inane response to hide your embarrassment at being wrong. Don't join a debating team :) In fact, I must have hit a nerve, you responded :)
fuitall you are wrong there is a big honor in dieing for your belives we will all die one day. i would like to die for honor then die from geting old. and just becoue somone will remember me or just even to prove i have balls besides honor is something that u didnt experience in your life and you will never know what it taste like so its stupid talking about honour when you dony have any. imaginate world when evryone is so honorable that they keep their word or die.
wow, you can see how we have pussified ourselves... started with wooden swords, no more equipment and has ended on soft bamboo sticks and tons of "protective" stuff... lol

Haha "fighting without fighting" Bruce Lee used that boat trick in Enter The Dragon. He's one of the few people who really understood the way of the samurai.
@balistik94 he was trained By Master Ip a chinese man who mastered the art of hand to hand combat. SO how would he understand or even dare to followe the samurai when his teacher is world famous for his fight against the Japanese
@THEWATER405 Because he didn't limit himself to martial arts and philosophy from one country, he said that to him there was no such thing as a chinese or japanese way of fighting, he was more open minded than you are even though he died 40 years ago.
@CanadianSoldier67 though the comment is old; but i've got a question about that... a Samurai means; ESSENTIALLY (no patriarchism intended...) a man who was sworn to serve, hence the word Samurai; "To Serve"... so the fact that you are a swordsman doesn't really make you a samurai does it?..
@Baseballschaap yup, only if you don't serve, but If you follow bushido and, like you said, devote yourself to serve ( your master, etc.. ) then Yeah I guess.
You don;t always need to talk about ninja just because its a documentary about Samurai. There are plenty of documentaries about Ninja as well. Watch the Ancient Warriors Documentary if you want to hear about ninja.
LOL?, Ehh the ninja was grown under the plundering of samurais. The were from start poor farmers that was kinda tired of being murderd and plunderd, Often with cheap methods. Tho clever :)
Um... no, not really. Can you explain to me how peasants understood the use of katana, yari, naginata or even shuriken?
A lot of mainstream ninja knowledge is based off historians who based their ideas off Stephen K Hayes who admitted to filling in the gaps in his knowledge with fiction.
one of kenshin uesugis decendant in hawaii stabbed some guy in the neck with a pencil they story didnt say what for nor did it make the connection to the samurai but id guess its his great great ect grand kid
There is so much missing in this video. There is a differance between being and knowing something and just studying and knowing about it. The later is called judgement which has no accuracy in fact anyone who honestly does a martial art knows the flaw in this. I dont see a person qualified in this video to comment. There is so much more depth and angle of thought that goes into samurai that these people cant understand. Genuiness and being honest with oneself goes farther than judgment.
I agree unfortunatly. Considering the lacking information and depth, e.g. the coming of the shinai and how kenjutsu was actually conceived in its primary form are not simply "complementary" facts, but part of the samurai as anything else.
It is hard to see ones mindset in a video. If I put myself on video and tried to expplain what the Japanese sword means to me, my explanation would be poor, and my inner most feelings regarding Japanese culture and the sword would not come to surface.
It is hard to imagine, but maybe these people 'know' more than you give them credit to.
Japanesese are really good at lobbing westerners, specially Americans, who do anything for the money. Broadcasting distorted japanese history is crime.
Something is very wrong here. Kendo is not meant for the battle field. the foot work already proved that it is not suitable for battle. It is very wrong to think that practicing kendo is close to samurai battle.Not only it is not suitable for battle, it is not even suitable for self defense.
Ah, Kendo! Four years in now for me, love it... hurts like crazy if you don't block, haha. But it's great getting a chance to really test your shinai skills, close as you can get to Samurai battles.
Well... yes and no, depends on what technique you are looking for. Kenjutsu is a lot closer to Iaido than Kendo, but it refines the technique more than Kendo, focusing on what you are doing and way, vs. strike and counter-strike. Most Kendo is just the footwork and 'imagining' how a katana would feel. Our dojo, though, combines both Kendo and the kata of Kenjutsu. I've dabbled in Iaido for years though, love it, but you don't get to 'spar'.
Yes you are right. Kendo is derived from Kenjutsu. During the peaceful time, Kendo is develope as a sport. For only sport and never intended for fights.
I totally agree with you. I'm really grateful that janisjai put up this documentary for us. but i can't say that all information in it is 100% correct. Take kendo for example. It is said here that it's developed during the war time in japan. But in actual, it's developed during the peaceful time. The sword techniques that samurai used was Kenjutsu. Not Kendo. I love kendo. I'm a kendoka but it is not suitable for battle.
On the contradict, Kendo is very far from the techniques samurai used for battles. Kendo is cool. I do Kendo too, but it's just not for fights. It's a fact.

there are several samurai documentaries that mention the ninja. This is important because of the samurai code and it's implications on warfare.
You can't have a story about the samurai without a chapter on the ninja. Many ninja were samurai that abandoned traditional discipline.

The downfall of the samurai was mainly due to the expansion of the use of guns in Japan as well as westernization.
