Kenjutsu Sparring

5th time sparring...I'm getting better. Still not completely comfortable with two sword techniques and it definitely still needs work... Constructive feedback is welcomed.

Style: Sei-Tou Ryu Kenjutsu ~ Gendai Budo, based on Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu and Honmon Enshin Ryu Iai.

I liked the sparring but the guy on the right seemed to have a really hard time not overkilling his opponent when he had either already been hit or had allready won

@RayoeFrahm first rule of combat is survival, that being said, there is no such thing as overkill in combat with edged weapons.

[kiff123456]

you should just use bokken and no equiptment thats what i do

[Delmo67]

@kiff123456 That is quite frankly idiotic. I can only guess that you arent doing full contact , and if you are i would advise you to get gloves at the very least because bokkens can very easily break the little bones in you hand, not to mention a skull.

This is pretty cool. I can see you guys are both using form and not just flailing around. Great vid. Though there are times I see when either of you try to "reach" with your upper body. Itd be better to move in closer with footwork rather than reaching forward I think. But then again it doesnt happen that much

@Delmo67 Not true in the slightest. In any situation, overkill (meaning focusing entirely on doing maximum damage to an opponent) is not what saves you, zanshin is. After they've been cut, you don't stand there cutting them till you're sure their dead, you watch them, and stay aware of your surroundings. You never know if his friend who isn't too happy about you cutting him down is going to attack you next...

Just fat people who suck. Move along.

Es curioso que este tipo de payasadas las protagonicen SIEMPRE tipos gordos si cualidades físicas y con una música de fondo totalmente inapropiada. Una verdadera basura.

too over-acted for the camera.

[ededdandtwiztid]

your fat sensei or what ever he is to you is a cocky little prick who is to proud to call his shots because afraid of loosing.

I FUCKING HATE HIM

@CrimsonGetsu is right just do your self justice and pull out your 9mm.

[CrimsonGetsu]

its funny how the fat guy looses but keeps going and pretends to win

[Chicagotarsier]

Here is a secret. Hit the hand of your opponent. With a real sword the easiest skill to train and be proficient at is disarming via cut to hand. Attack and defense ability is - 60% of weapon held with one hand. Neither of you are in physical shape to fight beyond that level.

If your goal was to be Anikian you are spot on.
