  • funny, I said "God..." just as the camera man did. What katana is this? I've been finding it difficult to trust many modern katana manufacturers outside of Japan. Also, this is the best tameshigiri I've seen on this site so far. Not that youtube is that great a place to look at good martial arts, but your cuts looked wonderful.

  • The katana was made by Anthony DiCristofano www.namahagesword.com He is know for adhering to tradition. His research in the Japanese sword has sent him to many locations in Japan. He does very high end tamahagane blades and also some less expensive mono steel blades for martial artist.

  • Magnificent. The footwork is so stable, he looks like he's built into the ground itself. No wobble in the cuts, and eyes fixed straight ahead. He who moves least is most effective.

    True swordsmanship.

  • THIS IS THE MOST BEST test cut I SEEN ON YOUTUBE AND I LOVE THE COLOR OF THE tsuka
