Hey, I'm sorry if I offended you. Just in my years of haidong gumdo training, I have never seen a katana used in the way you swing it with one hand. I have always experienced the use of one guide hand and one power hand to take advantage of the katana's curve. And what I mean is, as an army, the Samurai had more advanced battle strategies that would give them an edge. Again, sorry if I came off as disrespectful, because I am partial to viking culture myself.

[ThegnThrand]

@tcgthevidiots Katana are used one handed quite often Historically? You are telling me there is a Japanese art that does not do that ? I believe you but odd. I am a member and practitioner of the Bujinkan arts we do this all the timeiaijutsupretty much demands it be done this way . Even Miyamoto Musashi Thought katana should be used one handed at times and duel wielded them as his primary style. Although there is more power two handed by far or should I say follow through as well as control.

[tcgthevidiots]

I don't want to sound disrespectful, but you are not very good with the katana. I love the vikings, and I am most likely biased towards them because of my Danish heritage, but the Samurai would have won any day of the week. They had time tested organized battle tactics that were much more advanced than the vikings' shield walls and charges.

@tcgthevidiots Please check out my latest Video " Deadliest Warrior : Thrand's Spartan Vs. Ninja / Samurai " /watch?v=mNj5HiCPx1I on You Tube. I am and have been a member of the Bujinkan for as long as I have been a Viking reenactor and SCA'er. Meaning I know both sides of the fight. Your Opinion of my Katana usage is bogus you have no skill from this statement. Your opinion must be coming from fantasy movies and media and an unrealistic expectations.

What was the point of linking to Brett Chan's wedding video on your myspace? The man can't have a personal life and be a martial arts expert at the same time?

[MrRobaut]

When the samurai class in its infancy in its own little island, the Vikings built the world's finest ships, made the great geographical discoveries, battled with dozens of different people and won. How many lands and peoples conquered the Vikings and how many samurai who fought in their small clan wars?

Lol stick to larp'ing or w/e, i'm not going to take some guys with pony tails playing in their backyards claiming to be "students of anthropology" any more serious than Spike (which is not serious programming in the first place).

[Macovic]

Deadliest Warrior is fun, but it's crap

[Ts6451]

@howlingvamp123 : I would say that the definition of swords into classes based on length are relative terms, and only have importance if applied to the time period in question. The "viking swords" were double edged swords with blades generally longer than 70 cm(evolving to 90-100cm in the late viking age), and is a long sword relative to the single edged short swords with blades shorter than 60cm that was primarily used during the early viking age.

[howlingvamp123]

Sorry to say guys but 1:25 i did not beleve my ears.. "long sword speed test"? xD thats not a long sword dude!

[stoicfan]

@ThegnThrand "Your opinion must be coming from fantasy movies and media and an unrealistic expectations." Exactly! They're over glorified and are effective in their own lands. But against chain mail alone is enough for me to stick with the Vikings.

Samurai, Ninja, and Katana's are so mainstream nowadays that's why you see every 14 year old pubescent kid say the Katana would win cause they saw it in Naruto.
