@Reloaded Past Yes, I always laugh at people who use the word Caucasian and White synonymously, I mean it's in the frikkin name! Cauc-ASIAN meaning the Caucus region in Asia. The term "White" is a bastardized term to pigeon whole all the Europeans into one category when there is a whole distinction between West, East North and Southern Europeans. I think it's easier for people too say White but for me it's always been such a stupid term to identify someone but hey, that's the social rules we use AT THIS CURRENT TIME (this could change ofc).
These guys at Kyoto Samurai Experience are awesome! My gf and I got to meet these guys. The swordmaster makes it look so easy. He's a former champion. And then once we got to try it, it was like swinging a heavy metal bat around lol. We sucked. It took me a couple swings to cut the bamboo mat. Gf couldn't cut through it at all. If you're going to Kyoto, schedule some time with them!!!
@@rodrigorott968 katanas are not as heavy as say a bastard sword, as they are designed to cut using the blades sharp edge instead of muscle and sword weight. However, it’s still around 38 inches of steel for the blade and tang plus the tsuba and handle add some weight as well. So no it’s not comparatively heavy to a good chunk of European swords, but it’s not exactly light.

Finally got to watch this one. So great! Loved how you edited the meditation session. And man, from bowling to salsa to samurai swords -- are you just good at everything?! Big hugs.
I totally agree! I'm heading to Japan next week too, as i travel the world riding rollercoasters! I will stop off here after Snowboarding MT FUJI on May 8th! :D

I just started to follow your channel and am absolutely loving it! I have always thought the Japanese culture was beautiful and intricate as there are so many facets that contribute to it. I just graduated from college and am beginning my career, so finding the time and funds isn’t in my near future quite yet. (But definitely within the next few years!) Luckily for me, you have videos on so many important and interesting aspects of their culture! They are so fun to watch and informational so that when my fiancé and I finally go, we have a good idea on what to do and where to go! Thanks for all of your hard work! Keep traveling deeper. 😊
My wife's family is in kyoto. Having visited there twice. I love kyoto or even just the whole kansai area. I may put this on my to do list when I visit next yr..
If you’ve never tried the singing bowls meditation in person, it is extremely powerful. The vibrations reach your inner core and mind, it’s actually really intense. Highly recommended

samurai training with no archery.......fun fact: Samurai were master archers, their ability to use long range weaponry is more important than to weld a sword.
Mean if we're being honest the biggest boom in sport like swordsmanship came during the edo period, which was pretty much a period of peace and prosperity. During that time self defense and civil duels where the pretty much only combat a samurai would ever see. Besides, firearms were around during that time making bows largely obsolete. You are right that early samurai used bows in combination with horses, but you're wrong in saying that all samurai in all eras prefered bows.
Loui Rudy samurai were trained for war purpose and bow is what gives them the most advantage on the battlefield over long distance. Ranged weapon is a requirement. Those in edo period who fight each other just for their delusional honor and their urge to see actions were hardly called samurai. They were the predecessors of modern yakuza.
@@jj987987987 Well once the portuguese arrived the bow became pretty damn obsolete, so you could say every samurai before the 16th century could use a bow, all of them afterwards didnt have to anymore. Which does NOT mean the bow didnt still play a crucial part in a samurais everyday life as a recreational tool. Im sure they all knew how to use one.
