  • Your statement makes your ignorance clear for all. You know not of what you speak sir.

  • Cool. But Technique takes you so far. And with any technique there are flaws.

    But i like this one cause you get to dump people on the floor more often.

  • @NocturnalBeing To still make it clearer. You can take a (not-recently sharpened) kitchen knife by the edge and wave it around a bit. Then wear a thick leather glove, or gauntlets, and it will be so safe you can hit something hard with it, without hurting yourself at all.

  • @BarefootZenMan I was thinking that might be the case. Thanks for the clarification.

  • @NocturnalBeing These techniques are designed for use in armor... they would be wearing gloves. There are many instances of half-swording within western sword. It is not unusual at all.

  • Hello. In a lot of the moves one hand seems to be holding the sharp end of the sword. Would this not cut your hand if this was a real sword? I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just curious.

  • @Wijice83 LOL

  • Why not just knee the opponent in the crotch while you're in the deadlock up above your head?

  • I just cant believe that most people in our western world still believe that knight fighting style was just mere brute force......I mean, I like samurais and katanas and all that eastern stuff, but I just feel pity for those who think that our western heritage is just crap compared to Asian, ALL DUE TO THOSE FANCY MARTIAL ARTS FILMS (NOT ALL OF IT..)....Keep going guys, you're just DAMN AWSOME!

  • @bozez1 Actually, many of the elements you list aren't present in most extant martial arts. A martial art is a way to maim, kill or otherwise incapacitate, it doesn't include the spiritual trappings that are packaged with modern budo.

  • @bozez1 Many of these techniques are from historical manuals. Those that aren't are based on the principles the manuals detail. Some of the interpretations might be a little out-dated. You might also enjoy the following: watch?v=mjT4JepA-Vc and watch?v=ln94E9AGYTc
