  • Truly horrid, but it just proves the point that most in Japan know of Japan's sword arts only through manga, anime, and movies.

  • I think this is a really clever idea, anyone that's ever tried kendo will know that its a hell of a work out. I'm not sure how well it works without a weighted sword but just the movements should and seem to work fine. The side effect of having 100's of women trained in basic sword fighting is an interesting thought lol

  • Hey you, Japanese people, you have to respect your own tradition! Shame on you!!! (of course I speak about the people of the video, not about all Japanese people).

  • @OfficialZixtY Because she is a man...

  • The drag queen Takafuji has a good idea going here. The sword's power is drawn from the entire body, especially around the core. Naturally if you get off your ass and start swinging swords around you'll lose weight, but you can forget about slashing evil people, you need to learn a different discipline than Mr/Ms Ukon's dance classes.

  • @OfficialZixtY I think she may be a he buddy.

  • SHIT! The first lady sounds like a man!

  • @xXZeroClaymoreXx

    So true! :D

  • Takafuji is a drag?!!?1

  • 0:26 that's a guy?
