It goes without saying that repeating firearms made swordsmanship obsolete in the battlefield. Its just difficult to convince katana fanboys that although samurai were good warriors they were not unstoppable gods like in the movies.

392 people expect they will see a kungfu movie with flashy attack and slow motion jumping. the other 375 enjoy the technique of this fight.

I feel sorry for the poor Kendo guy, its pretty obvious that the Fencer is more experienced. At any rate watching them slide around the court was pretty funny

@andresrojas22 Stop trolling everyone knows swords can't cut steel armor.

[masterofall66]

Wow, the technique and skill of the fencer was quite stunning!

@NoiseTracker Well your intelligence apparently can't determine what sarcasm is.

[NoiseTracker]

@bud389 Indeed, that is a possibility. Though there is no need to estimate my intelligence I thank you for it.

@bud389 youre wrong a katana can easily cut those vambraces, check it for yourself how it cuts up two consecutive pieces /watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

[bud389]

@NoiseTracker Steel vambraces genius, they were used to defend from sword blows.

[bud389]

@andresrojas22 Your a fuckin idiot apparently, he was using steel vambraces, designed to stop/defend from sword blows, a katana couldn't cut through that even if it wanted to.

@leinad667 too many hong kong theater flicks lol, in fact, i have proof that european longswords are far superior to the katana. Sharpness is a very very small part of a sword, also has to do with the quality if the blade itself, the curve/angle of the blade edge, and it's length. The Katana was originally a side-arm actually, not even one of the primary combat blades, thats what the tachi is for.
