      I have a feeling that many people fought more cautiously knowing there life was on the line, at least in some instances. We also know of instances where adrenaline was high or people would fight incredibly aggressively.

    I enjoy every Weaponism episode, but this may have been one of your best I've ever seen. These exchanges were absolutely phenomenal to watch, it's so great to see two competent users of two different but practical swordfighting styles actually managing lengthy, multi-blow exchanges before a hit is struck.

    A very competent and fast buckler fighter. I can't say I have seen his half sword grip before, but it seems to work well for him when closing in most instances. Very impressive.

    The distance that he's come with his niten technique is inspiring. I remember when he was getting tired from holding the sword up for so long, now he's just lethal.

    • @Ianmar1
      @Ianmar1 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Niten means two heavens from taoist metaphysics which Musashi draws many allusions to, the kenshi here is using nito (ni=two, tō=sword) techniques.

    I enjoyed this quite a bit and it is great to see people pushing their skills like this. Messer and Buckler tends to stay in long point a lot, though, which makes his opening attacks more predictable than they need to be. If Katana and Wakizashi were to work on defending against thrusts, this match would be very different next time. Both tend to go only for the deep targets, though, leaving themselves vulnerable to hand strikes which would be disabling in a swordfight. Maybe it was because you guys did not have heavy hand protection and actively avoided hand targets? It's hard to tell. Overall, both of you are very proficient fighters and I would love to have a bout with both of you. This was delightful to watch

  • @belorianuskane1952
    @belorianuskane1952 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I really like that you keep going after landing a hit.
    It demonstrates the real risk of receiving a counter blow pretty well, even if you manage to connect first with a proper attack.
    And in combat with adrenalin pumping that's very likely to happen I can guess

    • @HipposHateWater
      @HipposHateWater 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Same. Tournaments controversies aside, I fully believe the worst should always be accounted for in practice so that the one landing the decisive hit will always be in the habit of accounting for any incedental dying blows from the one they just mortally wounded.

      @alessandronavone6731 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Yep, it's the standard technique, and it's not just to support the shield: you intercept the enemy attack with both sword and shield, then use the shield to guide off line and control the enemy sword while simultaneously counterattacking with your sword.

    @redbunnytail9528 ปีที่แล้ว

    Definitely a cool thing to watch. Course. Can you adequately test 'power?' I remember reading about Tesshu and he was 6'+ and he was aggressive and strong. Most martial arts and weapons forms cannot adequately rate against someone with tremendous strength/power. I remember going to a few Cheng Hsin classes in Berkeley, and the teacher would always say, test power on heavy bag. I can tell you from experience, first time I ever sparred, I one shotted a kung fu champion from China, who was in the movie 'Shaolin Temple.' If you know anything about those movie guys, from China. They won't have any of that stuff, IF they can help it. Power is more than an equalizer, but very hard to fit into a martial arts school/system. Teachers maintain trust and devotion from their students, because every student must be lower than them.
