It's kata, not sparring. No sane person spars with a bokuto and no armor.

@Risouten Exactly. From the German manuscript HS 3227a: "But before all things, remember that you should not remain too long in one guard. Liechtenauer has a saying "He who is still, is dead, he who moves will live". And from these guards comes the understanding that you should move in swordplay, and not wait in a guard and thus waste your chance."

I have been studying French Fencing (Epee and Sabre), Kenjujutsu, Escrima, Boxing, Eagle Kung Fu, and Southern Praying Mantis. For 18 years and no where near master all of them, but learning all has given me the ability to look outside of traditional lines.  However, mma is the end of training not the beginning. Only after years of training does one break down what is not needed and free spar. Not the other way around. Or something like that.

I respect MMA and similar, and I find them very interesting aspects, also technical. What I don't like is to see is to see a great master in a great video that is laughed by people that probably never tried to understand and to practise kenjutsu. People that think that is stupid.. . there was a time that thanks to these schools of sword people survived or died in japan, german, italy, england and so on..... at least before to attack something.... try it!

@orelenok Though....it pains me to say Im more often defending traditional styles from some of the more rabid, uneducated UFC fanboys who make up a large % of the naysayers than defending "proper" MMA outlets.

[NamiwakiruX]

@orelenok Indeed, its not often you find people who understand the differences, and more importantly, the similarity between traditional and modern forms of martial application. Either purists lagging on MMA or UFC fan boys lagging on the usefulness of older forms and using outdated Kung Fu film ideals as a base of hate. MMA is born from the martial arts that people have deemed outdated and if they spent some time overseas they'd see MMA and Trad styles enjoy a mutual beneficial relationship

@sonicflam This technique is from Kuroda Sensei's own personal variations and techniques outside of the Shinbukan Kuroda Dojo's main systems. He does not teach this self created branch

Kenjutsu, kyudo, Bujinkan/Ninjutsu, Kendo, Iaido etc. is material arts from the Japanese Samurai warriors many Japanese material arts/budo have a connection to the popular samurai warriors.

[orelenok]

@Theparableof0 Nice summary on the demo... but why would you call UFC - trash? Those guys train day in and day out and should deserve more respect from the real fight appreciators like you are.

[HitaAts]

I am not sure about that. Think about it like this: You do not need defense capabilities if you have offense capabilities. Yes, sure for roman gladiators, that is another thing, but in battle or match where nobody wants to watch a perfect match, shield just slow you down. In kenjutsu, kendo, aido and martial art like this, offense is important, defense is for cowards :D
