Great video - it just goes to show that the Japanese used the empirical method as well as the Europeans - the techniques are much closer to Talhoffer than to kendo which is aggressive but a formalised exercise. A european longswords (conquistador or Gothic foot knight) man would recognise the whole use of the sword as a weapon - as is shown here - folks can say there are more ways to use the European long sword or Messer but the Katana is for me still an excellent blade it can cut & stab.
