This guy said "Fuck being a wizard, I'll take Staff Proficiency, and a base ability of agility, along with my trait being charisma."
He even wears light armor, fuck armor that gives +magic
hahhahaa this is gold
ROLF YOUR THE NERDIEST GUY EVER MY MAN these these are my people
dexterity*
Sounds like a fun build in any case :P
hahahaha
Excelent!!!!
There are two reasons I like watching Kuma Films:
1) The badass ability that some people possess can be mesmerizing beyond belief.
2) I love the chill vibe music that you guys use.
Love the work, keep it coming!
Thanks friend! We'll do our best
In chance you are wondering, that's what wizards looks like if he maxed out DEX instead of INT.
This
True
Lol
This is definitely a bladesinger wizard
@@longhairedbastard literally here for bladesinger inspiration.
"HAHA fuck you physics!"
- That guy, 2015
John Doe No.
Marcos Santos Yes.
Nes
Emilio Brambila nyeeeeessssss
John Doe guess it was unnececary
But everything changed when the fire nation attacked
shis.
😂😏👌🤣
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Yo I LOL'd way too much at this comment....🤣🤣🤣 Pretty good, pretty good....
So I started this today. I got one. Came in the Amazon mail . And lol yo holy shit this is hard af
This is Gandalf at a rave...
holy crap lmfao
So many hilarious comments here. Why not go on every american football video and argue it doesn't involve any football-ing?
+Belbecat haha, well said
+Belbecat That made me laugh. Thank you.
+Belbecat can't blame them for not knowing what contact swords are, but we can blame them for not googling the term before trying to boast their ''superior'' knowledge of blade weapons.
I've never seen a vacuum cleaner, clean a vacuum.
except after every touchdown when they kick the ball, or the start of the game, or at every 4th down but still I guess I get your point, still this is baton twirling imo swords are sharp:p
+Sasori Of The Red Sand
Batons are a different prop, where the weight is distributed evenly. This is called contact juggling.
Is this Gandalf when he was a young lad?
+Chicken Permission Perhaps this is Merlin when he was younger =o
DepriverOfSouls Even better
Gandalf wasnt a young lad. Ever
Perhaps this is a very young Elminster Aumar, The Great Oversorcerer (from Dungeons & Dragons and the Baldur's Gate series).
forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Elminster_Aumar
actually Gandalf was 'born' an adult lol, wizards are spirits, the Balrog in Moria and Gandalf are the same species
Level 99 dual wielding mage.
Gummy hahahhaahahah
My next d&d character 🤣😂😂😂
Keep at it and one day you'll make Hokage.
No I will belive it!
Pretty sure he's using the force to move these...
Awesome, it seems that the sword is moving by itself! I think it would be great if you start recording some interviews with the players of your videos. Why they started doing what they do, and stuff like that.
***** Please do a nunchaku video :D
Marcos Santos Woah, programmable LED nunchucks! Also something mainstream like an poi video would be awesome, especially watching it slowed down and doing LED visuals. Actually just looked up LED nunchuck poi, and it's amazing.
***** Physics. Holy flippin physics.
***** Sweet, we'll definitely look him up. Thanks!
Dude this is not sword skills. He's obviously using Gandalf's magical staff.
A sword is just a fancy metal staff. :)
:D
was gonna say the same thing. no disrespect intended but the title is misleading
That's why after watching 3 seconds of this, I said "fly, you fool!"
Whaaa? He shafted Gandalf's to get that staff?
He's pretty good, but ... FYI ... those aren't swords.
+ZombieTex They're called contact swords. We didn't name it.
+Kuma Films Why not call it "staff" instead?
pirotess2 Don't ask me haha
+pirotess2 I think they are called swords because they do resemble swords with no guard and an oversized pummel (most likely used to shift the balance of the "swords" closer to the end and probably makes them easier to control)
There are many similiar weapon in Asian, exsample, Testusbo of Japan, it has pummel and no guard, but was never be called sword, instead it is called "iron staff" or truncheon / club in English term.
At first I was like "those aren't really swords, though. If those had blades you wouldn't be swinging them around your body like that."
Then he lit them on fire.
I can do some of the shit he does with a real sword as a sword trick that's a feat to show skill and as a warm up.
I’m with @bmxriderforlife1234 its not hard at all
@@arc3944 Haha this kids is what jealousy looks like
imagine a mid-evil battle with swords and armour and this guy walks out doing this lol.
And then he died.
I would abandon the match and disconnect...
yeah id give him a second tops. 1) he isn't moving fast 2) swords require edge alignment, and rigidity in order to be effective in combat. 3) He'd probably end up dying if he did that neck move with a sharpened blade.
notice the black part of the staff is the only thing touching his neck if it was the other part which would have been the blade he would probably have slit his neck
I don't know, I saw this anime once and it worked really well there.
This is way less impressive than it should be. Those are not swords. Those are staves. You are contact staffing.
What about the fire lmfao
and hes got those clear see through objects for a lot easier balancing.....
Right. Just like how a sword has a pommel. It's a counter balance.
pommels aren't counterbalances for swords -_- they're caps that keep the handle attached.
they do both.
This dude obviously got taught inner peace by master oogway
If anyone is wondering how sticks don't fall:
1. That ball on one end is a counter-weight.
2. When he rolls the stick. The spinning creates enough torque that forces the stick to hold it's position. The same force makes moving bicicle easier to balace than when staying still on one spot.
This was called baton twirling when I was a kid, but I guess contact sword sounds more masculine.
+Matthew Reynolds YEA, AND MY SISTERS DID IT.
+Matthew Reynolds when baton twirlers can move 2 "batons" periodically around there body at the same time while keeping consistent movement, then we can call it baton twirling
+Llama Lavish when he uses actual swords we can call it contact sword ;)
+Silence Neither its a contact sword, its not a typical sword
Whatever makes you feel more badass bro
"Contact Sword Skills" using masculine words for baton twirling lol
*flexes el masculine words*
Maybe it makes up for NEVER getting laid?
HAHAHA
I mean it was cool too watch but as soon as he lit them on fire......... i thought "its definitely baton twirling"
novarza do u not know what a baton is a baton is way smaller
5 seconds. That's how long he survives on the battlefield. 5 seconds.
If he's lucky.
Ok, I admit that might be true, but have you ever seen true sword fights on the streets these days? ´Cause I definitely haven´t. So here´s the perfect tip for going onto "the battlefield": Buy yourself a weapon that ain´t out of real use for about a century, and don´t mess with artists because they aren´t warriors. Or can you really imagine ANY sword fighter surviving for more than a few seconds on, for example, any battlefield within syria right now?
Highly relevant, of course, 'cause what we see here is someone trying his damndest to become an expert in battlefield warfare.
Exactly what I´ve tried to express
Haha, yeah, didn't even see you comment before posting, but nice of you to elaborate on my point 😉
He's not there to fight, he's there to boost morale, meaning make others eager to fight lol
The music, the scenery and his liquid movements make this video perfect. It looks so easy, but that makes his skills even more impressive...
So... Blizzard needs to make a character for Overwatch just so they can have this as their sitting emote.
No. He NEEDS to be a character in Overwatch!
diablo 3 monk
I'd rather see him in HotS.
he could easily be in both
I could seriously watch this guy all day.
I've played with real swords for almost 20 years. Now, I feel like my studies went in the wrong direction...
Very nicely done! :)
Lol This guy needs to lead some marching bands
LELELELELEL
Ha right! First thing I thought was, "I used to watch my ex girlfriend rock batons a lot like that."
I'm imagining him leading the group into Hogwarts for the triwizard tournament. Much more impressive than pounding them into the ground and sparks flying out. Imagine how much they'd save on CGI
At first I was like "This is contact-juggling, but those are not swords." Then I was like "Now they're on fire so... I'll allow it."
Incredible flow and control!! Must have taken many years of training. Thank you for sharing this video!
Dekotah Runninghorse yes it's cool
Title says "Sword Skills", I was looking forward to watch movement of Swords, not the sticks!!! Still got Impressive Skills thou.
Bk Suntzu That is what i was gonna say but you said it already.
Bk Suntzu it clearly says "CONTACT sword skills". so both of your comments are obsolete.
solokom How so? I would imagine contact swords as swords that come into contact with something, either a human or some other medium. The objects in this video are not swords, they are sticks or canes.
you totally said it right, why don`t you get it? these swords can come into CONTACT with humans WITHOUT killing them. That`s why they are called CONTACT swords. to differ them from normal swords, with which contact might kill you.
solokom
Yeah we get it smarty. But they look nothing like swords more like rods. Should be called contact rods. You can craft swordlike things that do not kill you and still be swords. But these are not.
Impressive indeed but are these really sword skills? It has nothing to do with fighting.
Those arent even sword would have called these more contact sticks skills. Also these skill pretty worthless in a real fight as also the speed of all this is pretty slow.
Yes, but it looks cool and i think that's what he was going for.
Sword skills are not always have to do with fighting. It's simply a skill of using sword to achieve something, which in this case probably art and entertainment...or maybe even body conditioning. The view that swords skills being only for fighting is a stereotyping based on majority of modern culture presentations of swords.
Yeah man. Sword for fighting? That's just some stupid modern stereotype.
Artrysa
Sword skills for fighting is NOT stereotype.
Viewing sword skills ONLY for fighting is stereotype.
Hope it clears that out.
This is basically what I thought of when I learned what a Bladesinger was in D&D.
"This Guy's *Wizard Staff* Skills Are Crazy Impressive!"
Lets not sugar coat it, those are wands
staffs
Batons
sticks
Fushigi wands
Is that you Harry?
This is incredible. It's beautiful how perfectly fluid all the movement is and each part of a technique so naturally flows into the next.
There were no swords present in this video. +3 for the balance, +2 for the music, -20 for lying.
contact swords dumbass
no these are not swords, they are what you call contact swords they have no actual blades as they aren't meant to cut peoples fucking arms off instead they are unique contact staff/fire juggle trainers and are to just look cool. atleast read the damn video title all the way before hating on the video. or atleast find out what a contact sword is before saying they lied about them being swords when they never once said they were swords they just said they were contact swords, big difference. and before you say they shouldent have said contact Swords then well thats not this videos fault its whoever came up with the names fault.
so...a staff?
They're called contact swords because the entirety of the object besides the part you actively hold and juggle can be set ablaze, whereas a contact staff has a singular wick at the very end, not consisting of a majority of its length. It's really that simple, get over it already.
I don't care who coined the term or why, but an object has a variety of uses or characteristics attached to a convenient label for identification. Confusing porcelain with mercury or tic tacs with tetrapods could be troubling, right? A sword has an old and specific definition deriving from the material, length, origin, shape, and purpose that most educated people are familiar with. The performance was pretty cool and inspiring, but there were no swords present in this video. It's really that simple, get over it already.
This is how he defends his virginity
Samurai Jack he defends the shire from pillow pants and listerfinds alike.
I'm 110% sure he gets way more tail than you do.
And I'm 110% sure he's gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Kyo Grey yeah deer tail cause he lives in the woods
I need to make him my sensei.
Kuma films deserves so many more subs!!
Whats amazing is that he can find the center of balance on that thing with ease.
There is a mark in the tape lol he just has to look for that
Martin Hall Nah, we don't really need that. While it's rolling on your arm, you can feel the balance. Seriously.
Martin Hall What Basil said; you generally don't have the time or angle to 'see' the centerline, but you can feel the 'tug' while it's rolling and know where gravity wants it to go.
+Martin Hall Mark on the tape? lol What's with the outlandish justifications as to why someone can do something most can't?
It looks impressive, but these are definitively no swords...
CONTACT swords..... look it up they never said they were real swords
YEAH AND ANYONE IN UFC COULD BEAT THIS GUY!
They're meant for acrobatics and show, not combat. Dipshit.
If he enjoys the discipline, i guarantee you he would fuck you up with a real blade. Because he likely practices MORE than contact art.
he cut his neck a little bit
So many people trying to be funny in comments, lol. But this guy is majestic af.
Flowing like water like this sweet track.
OC_AirWolf AudioTreats makes good tunes
* mutes the video *
* reply *
***** * sarcastic remark *
*A wild Pidgey has appeared!*
Tayler Casch lol.
He is so graceful. They are like an extension from himself.
The force is strong with this one.
Indeed th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
No doubt he started off by shooting womprats on Tattoine...lol
I can't lie, I flinched a little at some parts HAHA
***** hahah so did we
I think those are called
fairy wands
instructions unclear, burned down house
+Sylxvelt hahah
+Sylxvelt thats fkd up.... upload a vid proving you;re not a liar pls.
He's still got all of his hair on his head so you know he's really good at this. Very cool video!
I now know someone I'll need in my zombie apocalypse team. That's the melee man right there.
I've never heard it called a contact sword, in Chinese it is 飞叉儿 or the Flying Fork. It's pretty common in Beijing! I see old men breaking them out in the morning with far more vigor than this guy. I personally couldn't do much with it. I tried for a season but just didn't get the hang of it.
Oh! And by the way, it's not classified as a weapon but a circus tool rather. It is generally only taught at acrobatics schools.
yeah. we all have wiki. idiot.
blacktieaffair that was really uncalled for. you should be ashamed of your manners.
there is no Wikipedia entry for contact swords or flying works, wiseguy
David Sharp lol made you look tho. idiot. fell for troll bait 101.
Where was this filmed? The opening scene was quite beautiful.
Boulder, Colorado
*****
Damn,....I need to move asap.
No. Stay away. The reason it's beautiful is people aren't there.
SAM BRICKELL
Then how would we know it exists?
Ah haaa~~!
SAM BRICKELL
We're all moving to Boulder,...and crashing at Sam's house.
As Doctor Strange would say..... "TEACH ME."
He would be a killer jedi
😅
He is -> th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
this guy's good! haha.
kudos to david barron.
"Follow the wind, but watch your back..."
Cool, now let's see it with lightsabers
Done and done! Here you go lol. th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
rekt? kinda xD
Nothing Swordy about this, but freaking awesome regardless.
Dude, Kuma Films you should enter America Got Talent. He look like a type of person that will win the whole thing. You doing something that most people can't do.
wow. the lack of respect in this comment section is astounding. what in the world is wrong with you people? enjoy this or dont watch it.
Tbh its not swords, you cannot do it with sword blades, not sword skills, its more of a dance bc of the graceful nature, glass balls is the only thing allowing him to do it, and lastly its a great video for a graceful staff spinning but the title has sword skills so i understand the negativity. If you understand clearly its like a lie with the title or in other words click bait
I was speaking more in terms of the way people are acting or more like, RE acting. so its not the proper name, maybe he didn't know. to me the arguments started below are unneccessary. I understand every one has their opinions but it all comes off as rude at this point... I mean, I'd like to see every one just enjoy the idea of what he's doing. especially to those of us who have never seen some thing like this, it's sort of magical.. basically, kindness prevails in this instance... 💕
you have a good day.
they're contact swords thats the point -_-
"enjoy this or dont watch it" < That makes no sense.
PS- Alice InCrazyLand does have a point though, bunch of idiots getting annoyed at their own lack of intelligence. That IS the proper name "Contact Sword" for fire spinners/jugglers based off the glass balls used in "contact juggling". Admittedly I came here expecting real swords too but at least I know it was my own misinterpretation, and it's still mesmerizing.
.... pretty sure those aren't swords
boi
They're contact juggling swords
Contact Sword =/= Sword
Yeah I'm pretty sure like any kind of sword would be balanced a lot differently. And have like sharp dangerous edges
this would be pretty act at the circus rather
Never in my life have I ever seen someone so balanced of spirit and deserving of personal power my brother, master.
I thought I was going to see some sick sword fighting moves, not some high school marching band shit.
It's the same shit. The point is to control the object so you never touch the dangerous part. You obviously don't practice with real swords because fucking up could kill you.
lol no, this is not the same as sword fighting at all, this is juggling. Don't get me wrong, he's real good at juggling but it's not sword fighting. This does not help at all with controlling the tip of a blade for a stab or the angle of a blade for a cut, it teaches you nothing about blocking or parrying, and if you tried anything remotely similar to what he is doing in a sword fight you would get yourself killed. Sure you might use something somewhat similar to a contact sword in training but you would never be doing anything close to the movements he is.
TMFlesh So not only are you an idiot, you're an arrogant idiot.
Of course.
No he is completely right Im practicing Kendo for 3 years now and that what hes doing in the Video you can nearly never use any of that and well OF COURSE you never touch the Dangerous part (by the way its called BLADE) because if you would touch it, it would obviously cut you and well by juggling a Blade you cant block any attack of an enemy because he would directly attack you while youre juggling your sword around your head
And well you are the arrogant idiot because you dont even know a little bit about the art of sword fighting and he never said anything about him (The guy in the video) being bad at that what hes doing there he only said whats true and that is that juggling never helps you in a sword fight because that are two different things
and i already know that im going to get insulted by you but you know what ? i dont care because i know that TMFlesh,greebat and i, Yeah we are right :)
Well youre the best subject too show all humans that dumb people can only feel good when they are insulting other persons so thanks :)
Now do it with a Lightsaber!
He did th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html :)
I wanna see this guy do that on a medieval battlefield!
Someone needs to edit this to make those look like lightsabers XD
Way ahead of ya 🙂
th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
This is firesabers, even cooler... or should I say hotter
you think he just woke up one day and was like "I know what to do with my life"
This is the creator of wizardofflow in case you didn't know. Highest quality flow company out there.
uh whys the word sword used? hes just twirling sticks....
They are called contact swords. That is simply the correct way to explain what he is doing.
Why not Contact Sticks?
why but why why why! haha
It's not correct just because some asshole decided to use the wrong word as a marketing gimmick. They're sticks.
because youd never come for flaming batons
I want one like his, with the nice wrapping and the bulb at the top! Although a different color than clear. That's it. I'm embarking on a quest.
Editorial facebook.com/WizardTricks/photos_stream
Mr. E .LullAbhay I found their store, but the website's not available. Something wrong with their web host.
Editorial yes, the website is offline, but i still make them and sell through the facebook page, just send a message. im the one who builds them :)
Mr. E .LullAbhay Ooh, I'll keep that in mind! :D (At the moment, I haven't any money, but you know how it is...)
Editorial Fucking make one then
Where can I learn this? OMFG THIS GUY IS INSANELY GOOD!
I know this is an old comment but if you're still interested in learning flow I'd suggest starting with contact staff then move to contact sword. Contact staff and sword are very simliar but with contact staff, you often have more room to make mistakes and there are many more tutorials. Once your good at contact staff you just transition the same skills over to sword but learn to do them on a smaller surface. This sword and my recommended contact staff are from Wizards of Flow. The practice contact staves are around $150 but a quality staff goes a long way in teaching you and it's full carbon fiber so you can do acrostaff techniques as well. Which is basically flipping on the staff or putting your full body weight on it.

They should feature him in the next Star Wars movies. Epic moves
Vincent Sundar haha definitely
Well, there's a difference between balancing and professionally "dancing" with them, and acutal sword fight techniques.
The first non-asian in Kuma's video ? :D
MrDestyny You haven't seen Formusa Freerunning then. c:
Holy cow that was beyond satisfying to watch.
He almost as good as that bear we saw in the gifs
Look to all of you that wish to talk shit on him about its not a sword and so on please understand the idea behind it first. It is a form of sword with a extended handle and a weighted ball on the end for balance and manipulation. Also note that its made for show not to sword fight with or anything of that nature. The Word "Contact" in "Contact Sword" stands for the idea of the sword moving around your body making "Contact" with different parts of the body. Learn the meaning behind everything before you talk shit. Otherwise you are making your selfs look like the idiots not him. Would love to see any of you do what he does in this video.
+Michael Lineberry well said :)
+Michael Lineberry I know this. I understand this. But even still, it's not a sword. When people come expecting something with a sword, they expect a sword. Not a baton. Not a cane. Not staves or poles or anything like that. He has good skill. But this title mentions swords and he did not deliver. Thus, he has failed our expectations in that regard. I don't know how to do anything close to this (in case you intend to tell me not to talk shit if I can't do it), but he is a misleading little shit.
"Our swordsmen are highly skilled and well trained."
The swordsmen:
I would like to see this be done with lightsaber effects added over the top.
Here ya go th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
They already did!
There is not a single moment of my teenage life onward that I have not wanted to do this. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I didn't even know this was a thing, but now that I have seen it, I must have one of those instruments so that I can master this skill. Where can I acquire this magical staff?
Yes, he does, I saw him at Starbucks last week. Very nice fellow.
***** FlippinSweet TV Thank you, fine gentlemen. I'll go check my local Starbucks and see if he's still around. He may not want to give them up, though...he becomes more powerful the more staffs he has.
Did you end up finding it?🍃
Sometimes dreams take time, if you are still searching, I can give you a lead:)
Company called wizard of flow. (His company) buy contact sabers
LOL "Contact Swords"?!?
Nice man.
Yes. Because traditionally they use swords but in the west we use sticks that we set on fire but we kept the name because fire sticks is something else
"Contact sword" is what these props are called, and they're not pretending to be anything else. Neither the filmmaker nor the performer chose the term, it's an industry standard. You'd have a hard time getting accurate search results if you called them anything else.
someone needs to edit this video (take out the flame parts) and add in the light saber effects and speed it up ever so slightly. best Jedi moves ever XD
like this...? th-cam.com/video/NX7Zv0yID7g/w-d-xo.html
lol I literally saw that just after I finished typing that XD
haha nice
i wounder how long he had to train to get that good
Damir Okeric
A lot, but it's fun to do. I do it a little in my house. Kind of like getting better at a video game.

he started out with hoola hoops ..but that was before his sex change from a female to male thou i am sure he still has a vagina..
is someone salty Mr gotohell
you remember starwars kid
thats him there
look how far he has come
i feel proud
*shed single tear*
From the Gandalf school of martial arts.
Wait till he starts vocal training with
- "You... Shall not Pass!"
- "YOU... shall NOT pass!"
- "You SHALL NOT pass"...
This is cool and impressive. I didn't know this even existed. Whoever directed this needs to show little restraint in all the theatrical camera movements. It distracts from the performance, which is good enough to stand on its own.
2:20 looks amazing.
Camera movement is required to record spectacular scenes.... Or do you REALLY prefer boring tripod scenes?
Where does show little restraint become tripod scenes?
I want to be able to do this.
doublea422 Same here
***** Where can one find a contact sword?
Probably eBay where you can find just about anything
doublea422 make it yourself. You need a wooden staff, tennis racket grip and a weight for one side. If you wanna make a fire one, maybe use some metal coating for the stick and put a kevlar rope around it
I don't plan on doing stuff with fire, but this is a good idea. I'm thinking of just starting out with a staff too.
I would never have imagined such a skill. I feel like a dinosaur --Gee! What will they think up next! Seriously, this man has such grace and a center to his every move. Wonderful!
Oh THAT'S a sword? Man I've been wrong my whole life!
Sawyer Ramsey its a contact sword..
but... will it blend?
Next video
As a contact staff performer, I was like "yeah this guy is pretty good" until 1:56 hit, that was slick as hell
Whether you think they should be or not, these props are called contact swords. Neither the performer nor the video maker came up with that name, it's an industry standard.
I'm stunned by his level of control over both swords in contact at the same time, and by his continuous matrix (which I have yet to fully master with swords). David Barron has seriously earned his title as the Wizard of Flow.
nice acrobatics but where are the sword skills?
contact swords....idiots..
sword : sharp metal object used to rend flesh
staff : a stick
doesn't matter how you slice it those are not swords and that's an erifutible fact
because of the design. You have the basic "sword" parts and balance; hilt, pommel, and blade. Although in this there's no real blade, unless you are referring to the part that's lit on fire.
Jared Pate
dream on...
I'm really astonished at these comments. It's easy to complain; not so easy to create.
I think this is a freaking awesome video that showcases crazy impressive skills, no matter how you categorize them.
This guy would make a interesting Jedi character... That would die... But would still be cool.
+benbangui Coming soon
+benbangui he would be like those flashy kung fu guys in movies, as they jump on the scene, start doing lots of cool looking moves and then the main protagonist takes them down just with one simple move
Lol yup. Blaster to the chest lol
all the sweaty weebs with they own swords going "this wont help in REAL combat" like nigga when will there ever real combat with swords again
if the world ends after everyone uses up the surplus of ammunition a sword will be a good weapon to have and I do believe that certain militias still carry short swords as a fail safe
Why wouldn't people or small militia just make their own bullets? Swords will never be used in large scale warfare until gundams are invented. :/
Imagine this guy showing up on a medieval battlefield...
no skill involved pure witchcraft
might truly be
nope its just gravity
Nasri Naz
Which very well could be justified as magick.
#uselessincombat
Lol
Bob Jones well he could probably still kick everyones ass with his shaolin stick things
***** Well, you're being mean for no reason.
Toa Infernus he is talking about the moves, not the tools, these flashy moves are #uselessincombat
Toa Infernus didnt say the opposite
Music is so chill. Just as entertaining as what's going on in the video xD
i see no sword... i kinda dislike the title -_-
😑
ITs a Staff
@Kuma Films - Hes right you know. Despite what these are called, they are not swords. Nor are they training swords which are called "Contact Swords". Somewhere down the line someone put a pomel on a stick and called it a sword. Though these things are only known as contact swords, they are inherently not, and calling them that is indeed misleading.
Its kind of like saying "How to fry up some mountain chicken!" And then the video is of cooking a frog. (Google it)
It would be nice if someone renamed these. There fun Skill/Trick toys, but they're not gonna be taken seriously as long as they're name is so misleading.
he could fuck someone up with these though
..he..he's white...
+Grif Guy He is?!
***** yea :O
