Now that you have learned all of the forms in the path of the moon, its time to put them together into a Kata. This is great practice for letting your forms "flow" together.
As someone with ZERO martial arts or weapons training, the sword fighting in WoT has always been hard for me to visualize. This video made it so much easier to picture Rand practicing his sword forms. Love this series of videos. Great stuff! You got a new sub 🤘🏻

Came here from the shout out from Who Are These Podcasts. The Boar Charges Down the Mountain absolutely rocked and was a lot better than what my mind's eye could have envisioned. Thanks bud.
This is absolutely fantastic, I'm so impressed to see all of your hard work transform into a set of functional forms! This Kata not only has the names lifted right out of the pages of WoT, but also a wholly different sense of energy in the movements associated with them that absolutely dances into this 'Wetlander' art! I can't wait to join the challenge!
👏👏👏👏👏 just subscribed today after watching you guys on The Dusty Wheel show. this is now the first I've watched after finally getting time to come and have my first look. I just love what you are doing 👏👏👏
I might invent a version or three of this for solo HEMA training. We don’t really do a lot of forms but I can see where doing things like that would improve coordination, stamina and the ability to change direction and go from one technique to another.
Kata are excellent training tools to learn the "shape" (which is the meaning of the word kata) of a technique. Most of the kata in real kenjutsu are shorter than this, but can be strung together. Remember that they are patterns meant to teach the rhythm of a fight, not a rigid prescription of techniques.
Do you by chance remember the description of Laman’s sword AFTER Rand puts a more functional hilt on it? I feel like that’s the one that’s a katana, not Tam’s sword.
Awesome vid! Did you get your job offer yet? You got mentioned personally by someone on Rafe's ama. He said he wanted it sent to the lead fight coordinator. Hope you get an offer, because these are great coming from a fellow martial artist.
As a fan (from the UK), what type of sword do I need to buy? I want a training sword not a live blade, but there are so many types and materials and I don't know if they're weighted properly or what the dealio is my dude
We get ours from Playwell martial arts! We use their polypropylene training Bokken for contact and their demo sword for techniques. Both are very affordable and come with scabbards for training sheathes and draws.
Watch at 2x speed to see Warder mode
Excellent suggestion.
😂 I had to. That was amazing my friend. May you always find water and shade

@@WayoftheHeron But you also have "Zero training". Just some silly dance!

Definitely using these as reference for a DND fighter.
Way of the Red Herring.

Holy mackerel. Those flies must have been a bubble of evil!
Never really done much sword work before but I might try to learn this
That would be great! Feel free to send us on videos and we can guide you through it!
Fantastic content!
Would you mind if I use your videos as reference for posing some characters in some WOT fan art?
We would love that! Make sure to show us when you're done :D
Hi I'm practicing Iaido and this video got recommended to me, I wanna try this out cause I'm a huge fantasy nerd :D
Okay now make a tutorial my man! Well done.
we cant carry swords around everywhere for self defense. therefore so is is this a meditative art form? or for fitness purposes?

Any word on a tutorial video? My brain gets confused at the camera angle changes, lol.
