Katana Fight with Tetsuro Shimaguchi (Kill Bill Vol 1 choreographer)

A fight scene between Tetsuro Shimaguchi, the guy who choreographed Kill Bill (and was one of the Crazy 88's) and one of his assistants. Choreographed a minute earlier, on the spot (see the practice video).

I should've kept filming for the next five-ten seconds so I would've captured the best part - Tetsuro gets up, smiles, points at my camera and says "You're next"

sorry i dont want say that it is bad. i love samurai art. but i looked in this moment to direct ^^ my bad

[tokyocheesesteak]

@Shinjiku1 No problem, you were just expressing your opinion

[Shinjiku1]

by sec 0:56, if the withe guy draw the sword more after the turnaround then he direkt win... fail

[tokyocheesesteak]

@Shinjiku1 But that's no fun. After the fight, Shimaguchi showed us some of the differences between larger-than-life, beautiful movie fight scenes versus the more pragmatic, traditional ways in which the samurai actually fought. I guess when the push comes to shove, the best martial art/personal self defense is a gun. However, this pragmatism doesn't change the fact that traditional fighting styles are still beautiful art forms.

it was said that ninjas could walk through walls .

probably true seeing as some walls were made of rice paper

[tokyocheesesteak]

@brzinger6 Hmm, I did get some katana training with Tetsuro, but when it comes to walking through walls... after I came back, I walked through a screen door in South Philly (and my friends still want me to pay for it)
