Asian Historical Fencing | Japanese, Korean, and Chinese [Part 1 COLLAB]

This is part 1 of a series of discussions I had with Scholar General and Bug, two researchers of Asian historical martial arts treatises.The mystery of the bridge between historical Japanese, Korean, and Chinese martial arts is as profound as it is clearly present. We know the bridge existed, but how extensive it was is difficult to ascertain. We dive into this topic and try to shed some light on this fascinating mystery.
Don't forget that both Keith and Nathan will be uploading their own editions of this discussion on their channels, so definitely check them out! Come and join us on this adventure!

Great talk lads! Looking forward to part 2.
Love seeing just how much similarities there are across the three cultures, and at which points you get the local differences.

Cheers mate! Am glad you enjoyed the conversation.
Indeed, it is always fascinating to see what connected and what didn't. Even if we do not know exactly the full extent of it, it is still fun to see the tantalising pieces of evidence.
