  • Yes I know... your right,,, thanks for the info it is comen sence :). But I mean in a real fight yes the larger weapon enabled fighters to make stronger cuts or powerful thrust against their opponent. But is way more slower then the small one :)

  • Effectiveness comes from intimately comprehending the capabilities of the weapon,the user, and the scenario in which these tools are employed ... once one possesses the attitude of "The Blade" and where/how to cut,then one can modify their skills according to the Blade Design, including Daggers, Short to Long Length Blades. The diverse practitioner is proficient from the scalpel to the spear...

  • Think of a baseball player in the on-deck circle practicing his mechanics with a weighted bat. Everyone claims their style is superior...the modern day martial artist must study Anatomy,Physiology,& Physics...and then relate that working knowledge to Strategy/Tactics for their Health & Spiritual Survival and Cultivation throughout the battlefield of Life. There exists a vast array of swords and sword styles...in the end it is the person, not the style that makes all the difference.

  • To begin ... a student of Kenjutsu understands the value of training with a variety of tools to hone his/her skills. The Suburito, a large, heavy wooden sword, provides the practitioner with developing strength & endurance, thereby allowing for swiftness, agility & cutting power when translating into Bokken & Shoto, Katana & Wakizashi...(con'd)

  • Japanese swordsmanship in a Chinese setting. Interesting.

  • pretty basic japanese swordplay but it was also interesting and artsy^^

  • interesting video~i suppose^^

    the stuff was pretty basic but it was the artsy way that it was done that kept my interest^^

  • kung fu is not all about swords though,I actually have not seen my sifu practice with a wushu sword more than once. Usually its just forms.

  • Heh... my Fiore teacher did that 3 times with a broadsword. I don't know how he did it... I could only get 1. (Actually, I do know how he did it, its just difficult to execute with that kinda of accuracy needed).

  • thats pretty cool dieter hammer is my cousin too
