Wow ! This video was awesome ! I love the gesturing, I don,t think they ever missed a bow lol ! You can see a lot of practice went into this. Very poised, disciplined and most of all with grace ! Very nice...
When the guy sat on the chair at the start, I thought that they were going to put an Apple, or something, on his head and just start cutting. To be able to have, or even wear armour like that, am I right in thinking that they are decedents of Samurai and that the armour is a family heirloom? At what point do you start getting pissed off by being beat round the head by a guy with a fan, when you have a Katana?
Hi! A great demonstration... However, are you going to publish the ninth video? From what I've managed to find on the channel, one of the links on the demonstration playlist is private. ;)
Realistically its comes down to the martial skill of both combatants, and the Yumi is only effective at medium to long range. Also those were Tachi not Katana.
+victormothamo Its not ashigaru armor, its a type of armor that ashigaru wore but not nearly as a heavy duty as main line samurai. Its refered to as tatami-dou (folding armor) due to its flexablity though depending on the design it doesnt cover the legs nearly as well as a gusoku suit Said armor is not nearly as heavy as the O-yoroi suit the guy he is facing is wearing (about 25 lbs difference). The heaviest armors weight in at 42.2 lbs (bullet proof samurai armor made for stopping tanegashima balls)
@@toyotaguy2000 the guy with the jingasa is not wearing tatami yoroi; he is wearing regular samurai armor minus the kabuto. Also the guy he is facing is not wearing O-yoroi. O-yoroi looks far more box-like
Pretty much. But the way its worn is determined by the Mei. I was asking him if he knew because he felt he needed to be pedantic enough about to to correct some fool that still thinks a katana has mystical properties.
Two blades just existed during post civil war era. Also, notice how their blade is pointed downwards when sheated, instead of upwards like the Tokugawa period.
@@murilocaruy but, two blades are practiced in koryu from civil war era (sengoku) like, Katori shinto ryu , Tatsumi ryu and also Tendo ryu... so, two blade techniques was used in civil war period
You ever wonder why the guy with the tanto always wins in these demonstrations? It’s because they know most of the time the katana guy would win in that situation but are demonstrating techniques so that the tanto user can shrink his disadvantage. The same goes for all the other weapons you see ‘win’ against katana: Wakizashi, jitte, that guy with the jingasa, staff weapons, unarmed opponents
the samurai with the katana is telegraphine the play his swinging to slow that's why the other fighter knows we're the katana is going to end up not even close don't disgraced the samurai worrier like this samurai we're fast at the draw.

The Quality of the Fine Samurai Armour is simply Superb; so authentic!

Very clear , easy understanding and useful demonstration , thanks for update .
Thanks a lot for uploading!
Excellent. Thanks for this!
The main difference between katana and tachi, is where the Mei of the smith is inscribed on the nakago. Omote - Tachi. Ura - Katana
Well there is also the Tachi tends to have more of a curve.
The tachi is also significantly longer. I mean by a huge margin.
Because there is such a big difference between them all and you can definitely tell by sight.

No. I think Red one is fukuro-jinai(shinai).
It is covered with lether.
Is the red stick weapon supposed to be a tessen ?
Realistically its comes down to the martial skill of both combatants, and the Yumi is only effective at medium to long range. Also those were Tachi not Katana.
Indeed. But do you truly know the difference between the two?
This is awesome...
If it's worn edge up through the obi or edge down via ashi.
如果一方是时间静止 一方是快速进攻 那无论什么兵法都可以轻松取胜
Cette forme de combat est il toujours enseigné en FRANCE ?
I have to agree with you there.
Why is he wearing ashigaru armor?

@@toyotaguy2000 Bullet proof armour. Such things exist.
@@blugaledoh2669 Yes, it does. But of course we are talking about 16th century bullet, not 22st century bullet.
@@toyotaguy2000 the guy with the jingasa is not wearing tatami yoroi; he is wearing regular samurai armor minus the kabuto. Also the guy he is facing is not wearing O-yoroi. O-yoroi looks far more box-like
実際の合戦で刀を使う機会なんて殆ど無いし基本長槍か槍だから刀で甲冑切れないから刀なんて使わない事多かったそうですよ
Two guys had uchigatana.
Pretty much. But the way its worn is determined by the Mei. I was asking him if he knew because he felt he needed to be pedantic enough about to to correct some fool that still thinks a katana has mystical properties.
long live JAPAN ! Bonsai !!!
Bonsai?? LOL
Where is your second blade, Samurai?
+Samuel Grimm When in a war armour, one might or might not pay attention to class status...
MCShvabo Oh I get it... Thanks for the info.

No problem man...

@@murilocaruy but, two blades are practiced in koryu from civil war era (sengoku) like, Katori shinto ryu , Tatsumi ryu and also Tendo ryu... so, two blade techniques was used in civil war period
Ahh no problem. All of the changes they implement mess with people.
he beat an armed man...with a hat...
hansom armor~
In some online shops, you can buy armour like that for around $1000, of the period. I've been tempted to buy a set.
@@cadderley100 link?
sorry but in real life the katana wins 80% of the time except for yumi and naginata etc
So against fans, wakisashi, Kama, and tanto?
Wrong. The yari was the king of the battlefield and not the katana.

ned bigby approves this
Seriously?.....
LOL

Those aren't training swords and it's a demonstration
A demonstration is meaningless, if the audience can't follow it.
There is no disgrace in victory, who cares about shaming the enemy? And yes I it is a demonstration, not actual combat
