@@bjknbudoka thanks a lot!!

Not really, we just seized the opportunity to try it out. 😁

whilst it is true they would usually carry a katana or wakizashi. The modern idea of a "ninjato" isn't very historically viable, eg the straight short sword with square tsuba. But if you look back at history samurai swords were VERY customised depending on era, intended use, wielder etc. For example, the kodachi is an example of a sword similar in proportions to a shinobigatana or ninjato, now the idea that all ninja used this isnt accurate, but its plausible that using a regular length tsuka with a shorter blade has many benefits such as a faster draw, better for close quarters and use indoors. Many samurai historically would request their swords to be based on their personal height, their sword style/ style of the swordsmith, and whether or not the sword was intended for the battlefield, personal defence and such. In summary swords like this existing are 100% plausible because we have existing swords like this, but you are correct that the modern hollywood concepts about the "ninjato" arent historically accurate.

Etwas Akrobatik ist dabei, aber der Fokus liegt nicht darauf. 🙂

@@bjknbudoka Das ist mir bewusst dennoch wollte ich schon immer Saltos,Bogengang usw lernen erst recht geparrt mit Kampfkunst finde ich es sehr interessant ^^

Yeh. The weapon sucks. Once you close on this shit, you're done. Stab or ju-jitsu finishes it.

@@J3unG Spear was literally a battlefield staple, even used in conjunction with early fire arms in the form of pike and shot formations, you're pretty shit lol.

@@J3unG It was the primary weapon of the samurai lmao. They were mounted archers in the early years and then evolved into more like knights that fought with yari both from horseback and dismounted. Spears beat most melee weapons in a 1v1 if the skill level is equal. The katana is heavily romanticized in pop culture and is the weapon most associated with samurai but it was really a secondary sidearm to either a ranged weapon or a spear most of the time. Swords would only be better indoors where spears would be restricted by the walls and/or ceiling.

​@@J3unG thats why they wear Tanto/Wakizashi/Katana of any sort as a secondary. But spears are really strong

@@J3unG "Once you close"... let's not take this for granted, eh? They probably trained to prevent that. Pikes were cumbersome, and you could easily get to your opponent once you dodged the point, but they were very popular up until the bayonet was invented (and the bayonet was just a shortened pike). You still have to dodge the point, along with all the other points, and avoid getting shot at and cut at. Not impossible, but not easy.

Thanks. We did all of them, but I don't plan on publishing them.

@@bjknbudoka so no chuden and okuden?

@@joeberry2979 Right, I won‘t post the other two for now.

@@bjknbudoka I hope you do in the future but it's ok 😁

Thanks. Yes, the way I learned from my teacher and during my trips to Japan. I recommend you the DVD from Soke "Ken, Tachi, Katana" for your study.

@@bjknbudoka It's rare to see good kukishinden ryu demonstrated. Who is your teacher ? =)
