  • SHHHHHOMENUCHi.

    

  • I realise it's 'just' an excercise, and that is fine, but why mention the multiple attackers if it's just to get people to turn around and learn to flow from one position to the other without losing precision...? (which is an important exercise) These are very usefull to position multiple students in one room, but are they a serious tactical scenario to be taught as such?

  • The defender does not close the distance to any attacker in order to momentarily enlarge the distance to the others, thereby dictating the timing of the fight and allowing to deal with one assailant at a time. Even though the sword shown here is a relatively long weapon for japanese standards (odachi? nodachi?) the range of the attacks is still relatively limited and an assailant can take a lot of time to close the distance to the side or back.

  • one thing i have always found curious about the building of katas in most japanese martial arts is the idea of switching direction to deal with attackers on different sides. If one is beset on all sides the fight will be much more confused and complicated and this excercise does not help to deal with this actual tactical situation.

  • @loltitapota THANK you SOOO much for pointing out^^
