@illnathruleZ dont konw about the music but looks like the fighters were already in their late 50's

When did this take place?

[hatamoto68]

Around 1938-1942 I guess...

@GokiGandalf As far as I know 9 Dan was achived by shinsa like 8 Dan today. 10 Dan was given to exceptional Kenshi for their skill and their efforts to promote Kendo.

These two...makes me feel like I managed to catch a glimpse of history when men would kill each other with their blades and what it was meant to have been an exceptional warrior.

[fdaggor]

This is real speed

@cancerbero8 Yea, but they were probably lost after world war two during the american occupation of japan. Many martial art secrets and masters were lost during that time period
