crazy sword performs with katana at karate tournament
Posted by: sthetx

Video duration: 113 seconds

While I give him credit for trying, somewhere there are instructors that need b*tch slapped for allowing this to happen. Anyone knowing Anthony, please have him email me...I can refer him to a really good Iaido dojo (seriously).

Mmm... it would be better as a private video on youtube about playing around with the sword, rather than making it on a tournament and embarasing yourself. Because the movements are familiar indeed, im almost sure than most of all of those slashes? and stances came from Heishiro Mitsurugi of Soul Calibur. Check the Mitsurugi katana demo on youtube and you will agree with me.

By: xxBlazionxx. on 15 Jul 09, 03:45:55
about 0:34 the side to side attacks.. one block, one? very simple just keeping your sword at the ready in your center block would've stopped that and the shock would've really hurt his wrist.. one handed technique.. bad. in feudal japanese warfare. unless you have very good control he would die very fast. I understand that samurai combat was rarely one on one but damn.. This isn't even mcdojo worthy. Iaido or Iajutsu would do this boy good.

By: jordouellette. on 21 May 11, 23:27:48
ok humm that's not how a naginata is supposed to be used, at 0:44the use of kicks is unappropriate for a pole-arm. but for a kata without any basis: good, but I would go without? the kiai

By: dragonking700. on 07 Mar 11, 08:05:27
(...continued) Often times when people train, they slowly drift away from the basis on reality, with the feeling of "well, I'll probably never use this in real life? anyway," And in many cases traditional martial arts schools have become useless moneymaking systems that simply teach gymnastics and vague theories with no fact behind them. HOWEVER, there are still plenty of good traditional martial artists out there who 'get it!' ...sorry this was kind of off topic ;)

We need to ...
By: dragonking700. on 07 Mar 11, 08:02:11
We need to understand that martial arts were 100% "reality based" when they? were created. of course, they are outdated in the sense that not many people carry naginata around with them :/ So, should we keep the tradition, or the purpose? While "fighting" is not the only focus of martial arts, we do need to constantly think about what will REALLY benefit you as far as defense. (learning traditional weapons, I think, is totally cool,but not necessarily practical) (continued...)

By: lonewarrior1. on 18 Oct 10, 12:12:54
just my personal opinion But it is interesting BUT As a Fellow Naganatist i can see many things in this video that to the training i revived from my Japanese Sensei Mikato? i would find wrong and incorrect on many levels. but i do acknowledge there are different styles adapted by different countries.

By: sthetx. on 22 Sep 10, 01:39:44
@wheresbud While it seems excessive, I think her bowing was appropriate. She bowed before entering the demonstration/tournament area - she bows before approaching the judges, again after addressing the judges, and before beginning her form.? I agree that it seems like a lot of bowing, but after watching it, they were all appropriately placed (imo).

By: sthetx. on 14 Sep 10, 13:58:38
@Suigetsukanno What you said is true (and thanks for posting). But I've seen so much bastardization (or interpretation that serves themselves) of bunkai that I really have a distaste for it anymore. When someone teaches bunkai, they are influenced by their own art, and will see that art in it. A striking art will see strikes, a grappling art will see locks or throws. Bunkai can be useful, provided it it is taught as one of many possibilities, and? not "the one true correct way".

By: Suigetsukanno. on 14 Sep 10, 13:01:32
@sthetx Japanese and Okinawan martial arts are? made up of kata, bunkai, and randori. Bunkai is the application of Kata. Without bunkai, kata practice is meaningless. Without bunkai, self-defense situations become street fights and who can hit the hardest. Kata set the body into motion, bunkai form the action of the hands and feet, and randori is putting it against real life resistance.

WTF? You call those ...
By: GaolisVideoLog. on 10 Sep 10, 04:55:23
WTF? You call those blocking? And that other? stuff was supposed to be striking? her teachers should really consider finding a new profession.

@SanSuMartialArts ...
By: jazzyslip. on 07 Sep 10, 15:06:22
@SanSuMartialArts the Naginata is originally a battelfield weapon so in that sense it was not a "female" weapon... however what you have read is true in the sense that over time it has been favored by women due? to its long reach. And it is true that if you ask to a random Japanese person they will tell you that it is for women ; ) But this is only what the perception is nowadays... In the old days the naginata was used on the battlefield by men.

By: Iaazathoth. on 28 Jun 10, 23:26:22
Jumping around with a naginata and twirling it about does not make this naginatajutsu. I am sure this person is sincere. It is too bad her teachers are misleading her.?

this is a joke ...
By: sephirothnatis. on 28 May 09, 09:06:29
this is a joke right? she literally is putting more effort into just swinging it around infront of judges, rather than watching her form...i mean you could blame it on nervousness or that the thing weighs a ton but from this performance it makes me feel like i can grab a naginata? and swing it around yelling and win at this competetion!

Absolutely no ...
By: WarriorBoy. on 01 Oct 08, 05:30:08
Absolutely no spirit. She has physical technique, but? it looks like a dance rountine. When you wield a weapon, anyone watching should get the total and complete idea you could kill someone at any moment with it.

By: Shinsengumi77. on 21 Dec 07, 23:19:07
the shout is Kiai - spirit. And the weapon IS a naginata. though you are right, the movements need a lot of work. There is no control of the blade, it seems to swing too far around, like she is struggling to stop it where it should be, and the techniques would only lead to her? death if she tried them in battle.
