Japanese Martial Arts Demo in Tokyo

Nov 3rd is Culture Day in Japan. Lots of places put on some kind of traditional events and demonstrations
----------------------------------
As to the music - I know it's bloody chinese kung-fu fighting! Enough with the useless commentary already! I picked the song because it has a fun-spirit and a dance-like quality that matches the movement of the participants.

I like the naginata and staff demos.

Btw, the background music is inappropriate, out of place and annoying.

[tubetubetube]

Yes, the music ruined it all. :(

I disagree: the music was albeit about kungfu and "turning japanese" would have been more appropriate, however soon my disposition changed to "I'm actually glad he played this song! love it! been too long!" ;) so there ya go.

@MorbidMorals trying to impress me with your fancy words won't sway me

[MorbidMorals]

@RoninDave well since you dont know the difference between kung fu and budo, i doubt you know what a katana is, sure youre not talkin about a dadao? lmao.

[RoninDave]

@MorbidMorals I'm flattered you think of me in such a way but my katana don't swing that way. I suggest looking in the Personals

[MorbidMorals]

@RoninDave naw...its gonna be you.

[RoninDave]

@MorbidMorals thank you for the invitation but I'm afraid you'll have to find someone else who will eat your dick

[MorbidMorals]

@RoninDave I havnt watched it since. eat a dick dave.

[RoninDave]

@MorbidMorals it's only disrespectful to those who have no joy or sense of humor in their lives. Personally I just enjoy faux martial arts experts getting their panties in a knot over it. Get over it and watch something else

[MorbidMorals]

ppl should rlly stop and think about just how different the chinese and japanese are, wtf man. think of me as an angry faggot all you want but this song is talking about kung fu and it seems like im watching budo atm...i agree with others, it's disrespectful.
