Not the most practical weapon, i'd say, but it's genuinely very interesting to see. I always find it fascinating to look at styles that merge armed and unarmed combat, and for that, i can think of no better weapon. I'd love to learn more about this. Keep up the good work, i love your videos.
@@Udeus5 yes I totally agree 👍mixing things up, makes you think differently 👍. But I will "stick😁" with my steel walking stick and combat pen as my every day carry items . ☯️🙏🍵(Note to self, get stabvest's)
Oh no, they're very practical. It's basically a Monkey's Fist. They're easy to conceal and don't look like a weapon. Plus, they were ID cards back in the day, so everyone had one. It's great if you have no weapons on hand and need to defend yourself.
@@porkcutlet3920 thinking. Can't bring a sword. Still want to bash skulls... I know, the ID badge! Interesting and all but I wonder if it was less a weapon and more like clogs for shin kicking contests. They treat fairly violent contest between villages as a celebration in korea. Even to this date. Looks like just the right thing to bring
I can see how you'd underestimate his reach with that thing. A good hard chunk of mahogany upside your temple would be a real shock. It was surprisingly effective and you can see how a person could get good with it with practice. it would be easy to conceal as well.
This has very guerrilla war weapon vibes. I could just picture someone hiding the wooden piece in their sleeve and dropping it down once you get past someone and then messing them up once they are in your range. Reminds me a lot of a traditional slapjack.
It a better weapon than I thought it was going to be. His skill and spirit in using it was good and showed its potential. Good effort on both sides. Kendo won much, especially in first rounds which in real life are the only ones that count.
Great self defence weapon in skilled hands vs street style assailants i.e (unarmed, knives, up to bat sized weapons), but against an armed warrior like a swordsman or spearman not so great. Also why is it that so many modern weapon schools skimp out on wrestling training? There's a reason why wrestling was taught and practiced in militaries around the world until relatively recently. Kendo guy was pretty lost when the other guy managed to close distance.
The short and simple answer to why Kendo-ka don't practice wrestling is because, at the end of the day, Kendo is a sport. A sport with specific rules, and unarmed/wrestling combat is outside the context of said rules. If that Kendo-ka were instead primarily a practitioner of Kenjutsu, the more traditional martial art of the Samurai, and used kendo as a form of side training/sparring, this might be a different story.
BUT take in count the other guy just grabbed the katana with hands to get so close .....that don't make it sense to me at all, talking about "real combat situation", almost hilarious.
@@yang_yin If you know what you're doing and don't mind getting your hands cut if you fail then grabbing a sword blade is a viable option. It actually shows up in historical sources, not only as a means to control your opponent's blade in emergencies but also to expand your options with your own sword.
@@yang_yin if you grab the blade tightly, you actually can avoid being cut. The edge cuts from sliding. Keep the blade from moving, and you’ll avoid being seriously cut long enough to close in. It’s a very risky move, as you need the blade to stop moving first, but it’s one that is actually taught in many HEMA disciplines.
The traditional weapon guy after getting hit many times, evolve into his final boss form. He saw through the imaginative sword and treat it like a broom stick. I say the sword wins if it is a real weapon fight. Smacking sword to parry made the string wrap around the blade and detach. So the wooden thing will just fly off without the string.
You could try more weapons against bare handed, i would really love an improvised weapon against multiple attackers (improvised like an umbrella, keys, branches, stone shaped objects, chairs, belts, sticks, pens, hats, clothe like whips or ropes, jackets, etc)
I would say this weapon is very dangerous, 1st. it is unusual, so you most likely never encounter one until it really happen, and then it is too late to formulate a counter attack technique. 2nd. and the most dangerous part is the attack range of this weapon is far beyond most people think it would be. And even they know it beforehand, it is very difficult under pressure of a real fight to adjust to such attack range variation.
Weapons like this "disabled stick" require more aggressiveness and closing distance, which is EASY to accomplish when you know you won't die. If the sword was metallic and sharp, the other guy wouldn't be so aggressive and try to close distance. It would be amazing as a side surprise weapon to complement your main weapon though. Also, Im an idiot, so I think the best way to fight off weapons that need to close in to get a fighting chance, is to prevent them from getting close by keeping the point towards the opponent and thrusting. I don't know. Opinions?
Imagine if a sword swivels elastically on its guard. It will not carry through nearly the same amount of energy (and do damage). Same goes for nunchucks and flail type weapons (especially short ones). Even if you get a non lethal strike through to someone that gets a bit dazed, if he has a sword you're 99% dead unless you then disarm him, and you'd have to make past his blade to do that. Still interesting to watch.
Obviously you've never cracked yourself with a pair of nunchucks ! A bit dazed 😆🤣 They cave your skull in, break bones, cause hemorrhaging. Never mind locks, chokes or being used as waru.
Very similar to a monkey fist or slungshot. I'd imagine it wasn't intended to face swords but was a civilian weapon; easily concealed more range than a short club would have.
This is not the first guy I see GRABBING opponent's bokken. It can't score, you shouldn't allow nor validate it. You don't grab a katana from low edge and keep your hands safe and sound. In real life that guy wold be DEAD 🤷🏽♂️.
I would definitely say a non-lethal/less lethal weapon, and interesting. Korea's period where lethal weapons were banned on palace grounds kind of object. Also I really protest how in so many of these videos there's no treating the weapons as if deadly - very little dodging or blocking. Purpose of Fighting: Protect yourself! Who cares how much the other guy gets hurt as long as you come out relatively unscathed?

Weaponism, you’ve got to check out the game Chivalry 2 for your channel. Many weapons you’ve used are contained within, except for most of the eastern weaponry such as this interesting chained paddle. It would be a much more accessible and relatable topic for viewers to engage with.
Eeta muy bu3no 3l combate, solo que se deberia tener en cuenta los.golpes mortales que se propinaron con la katana, sino, se espera solo el ataque de lamotra arma.
th-cam.com/video/uOeCHFMmGGA/w-d-xo.html In the comments, I saw them criticizing the part of the attempt to attack even though they grabbed the blade with their hands or were hit by a sword. However, it was confirmed that the full version agreed that the sword could be held by hand, and even though it was hit by a sword it usually moves when trying to attack or when blocked by hand. th-cam.com/video/8UqetQdWFMw/w-d-xo.html Of course, it's not that there's no violation of the rules. But another agreement was that if both sides were hit by a clean hit, they wouldn't move. Considering that the swordsman only attempted a head attack, the swordsman appears to have played a handicap match that considered only the head attack a clean hit, and this part of the video did not fit his head properly, so it can be seen that he attempted the attack. + The writing may be awkward because you used a translator.
1:52 you know grabbing someone sword is dangerous but kendo would have to tug while your trying to slash at him so he’d reality have 2 opinions flee or die. but god d@mn you just murder him at 1:52
I know grabbing the blade wouldn't be good but this is first fight on this channel that I've seen some sort of grab. I was wondering why it's not done more? Is it against the rules for these sparring sessions?
If you grabbed a real sword or knife then a twist of the blade or it being jerked away from you would cut off some pretty important fingers. Generally frowned upon to practice something that would be detrimental
With a sword it's easy to tell when the end of the fight is: "I slashed you and now you're dead/unable to move." With unarmed fighting/weapons without a decisive "killing blow," it ends with "this is when I beat you to death so you can't fight anymore." When sparring, you need to simulate the same thing before the fight ends. It's not bad manners, just different win conditions.
This is giving very strong "getting hit with a purse" vibes. Except it's a lot more aerodynamic.
That's my purse!!! I don't know you!!
Imagine it with points and you've got no protective equipment
"Sir, may I see some I.D.?"
"OH, YOU'RE GONNA SEE SOME I.D. ALRIGHT."

The end of the fan had a thin blade on edge so it would cut. From what I remember women used them as self defend weapon

Dude needs a shield or something lol
わろた笑
That ID card fighter is very skilled. They do well to overcome the weapon disadvantage.
It can be used nicely if your opponent its unarmed but not if he has a weapon
still beats being completely unarmed at least lol.
@@mintyfresh2566 but that logic can apply to anything like a spoon for example

Very similar to a Patu... Great warclub, makes a great modern edc weapon... Its for softening steaks officer.
Definitely seems more like a self defense type of deal but still pretty 😎
more like a slungshot or monkeyfist !
Imagine you're trying to mug someone and he just bludgeons you with his ID card.
I would say this weapon is very dangerous,
1st. it is unusual, so you most likely never encounter one until it really happen, and then it is too late to formulate a counter attack technique.

It's just like a Moari Mere or Patu... short bladed club with lanyard for retention and flailing
while you studied the blade, i studied the ultimate bitchslap
For an improvised self defense version of this, use your belt with a belt buckle.
Might not as lethal as a sword, but the fear that thing gives when it's lashed away is another thing entirely.
Dang, weaponized ID cards?.....that gives me an idea for a weaponized book marker!
If 1st Dan is that skillful just imagine the skill and precision of a 9th Dan Master.
Very intresting weapon - nice to see it in action! But - tbo i would not like to spar with this guy. He hits really hard for a friendly match...
He has to in order to land
It's rubber so don't worry.
I love this id card 😂😂😂😂😂 deadly as shit in a random fight
Dang that dude was really going for it

You're not an idiot, presenting the point is the most basic way to keep an enemy at a distance with any such weapon.
Very well used.
I think the swordsman should've been using more thrusts. He was a bit too defensive.
Lol reminds a lot of nunchucks: something an unarmed martial artist could use to disarm/incapacitate an armed rando
Imagine requiring your subjects to carry ID cards, and they start using them to kill each other!
that knee sfx killed me 🤣
He is a good teacher. 💘💘💘💘💘
This looks a lot more useful than nunchakus. For self-defence, this weapon can be really good.
His reset times off the attacks with the name tag are very quick for a soft weapon
Короткая веревка против меча, но мастер этой штуки хорош.
Almost anything can be used as a defensive weapon if one is skilled and creative enough!
Read in a Kung Fu magazine about a style based around using your coins as a weapon
>it's a very effective weapon
>just like nunchaku
Lmao
I'd like to see him use 2 of those weapons together.
This has the same problem as the nun chucks. It lacks the ability to stop the fight for many of the hits.
Imagine if a sword swivels elastically on its guard. It will not carry through nearly the same amount of energy (and do damage).
Same goes for nunchucks and flail type weapons (especially short ones). Even if you get a non lethal strike through to someone that gets a bit dazed, if he has a sword you're 99% dead unless you then disarm him, and you'd have to make past his blade to do that.

A bit dazed 😆🤣
They cave your skull in, break bones, cause hemorrhaging. Never mind locks, chokes or being used as waru.
Facts. Also, look up kusari fundo. Quite literally designed for dealing with swordsman in a way that didnt spill blood within the shoguns palace.
A flail of any length is a force multiplier. One can argue utility but physics doesn't lie.
I’d say that (faux) wood is hitting way harder because of the rope/swivel. Obviously a two-handed sword is still an overmatch for it in combat though.
Very similar to a monkey fist or slungshot. I'd imagine it wasn't intended to face swords but was a civilian weapon; easily concealed more range than a short club would have.
