  • v good.

  • @peanutking242 It's practicing techniques you would use if unarmed and attacked during a tea ceremony (no armour) and it's impossible to cut through armour anyway. Cutting through bone is almost impossible with one arm and completely impossible when the arm's holding a shoto.

    The swords aren't "1/2 length" for the sake of demonstration, it's shoto length (the sword samurai carry all the time, inside and outside).

    You actually have no idea what you're talking about or what I'm saying.

    No wonder this guy is one of Japan's "national treasures". I bow before anyone with such a passion for one's job...

  • I was practicing Aikido for some 10 years and this looks the same though it has a different name that I didn't really catch when she said it.

  • where is part 4?

  • bokendo are awsome

  • @ihaterobbie123 maybe u also forgotten the fact that the sword is wooden and about 1/2 the length of a full size sword... maybe i gave u the wrong idea in my previous comment... what i was trying to say is that this is a scaled down exercise with them half squarting (or whatever u call them)... as for the height of draw... it was suppose to scare the enemy and cut through armour and bone

  • @peanutking242

    ME: "LOOK HOW THE GUY DRAWS"

    YOU: "I think the defender..."

    Not only is it obvious you don't know anything about training drills using terms like "defender" and "full stance" but you actually managed to completely ignore the content of my comment, it had fuck all to do with the "defender".

    I'll give you a hint, drawing over your head in a full arc at someone half a foot away from you is STUPID.

    Aikido is full of so much shit.

  • @ihaterobbie123 i think the defender was suppose to go forward and side step in full stance

  • 0:20, that's a bullshit technique, look how the guy draws...

  • I BOW TO THE SENSE!
