Interesting to see how fast someone can move with a sword. All I have ever seen is that the tatami cutting, and people doing that always make a big motion and making the move slower. This one I guess is the actual way to use it in a fight, from guarding position to attacking, this is more similar to how medieval sword art practice that I saw. You attack fast and with as little opening as you can.
@Ianmar1 Жыл бұрын
A real sword fight would not have been the game of technical prowess that modern competition fencing make it out to be, even those with "historical" in their names. A real sword fight would use real swords with real consequences. What we in kendo call shikai (the four sicknesses): Surprise, Fear, Doubt and Confusion will come to dominate the match moreso than skill, and the one to act without hesitation will likely be the winner. Big techniques are fine when the opponent is paralized with doubt.

@@Ianmar1 I understand when it comes to competition, especially the one where you need to cut as many tatami mat as you can, then the necessary technique will change. But also, even outside of competition this is the first time I saw someone use katana like this, compared to how many videos out there of people who practice western sword art doing both the practical way they were used, and the way to cut something with big swing. Maybe it's about the culture too, unlike the western who only think of the sword as a tool. Kanata is not only a weapon but a sacred item too, and so people is reluctant to test out the limit of it's use without being disrespectful.

I won't deny that big swing have their use, but if you know your opponent is using an armor, you wouldn't attack the armor but the gap between the armor. In the first place, a sword is not made to go through strong armor. That's war pick, war hammer, axe and other heavy weapon are for. Sword is used as last resort, not main weapon. The gap you show when you're trying to attack using that big swing will be the end of you if you don't create an opening with those fast strike first.

@@hikariizuki1693 Or, as one of the tests was done with a sword honed to a razor edge, linen fabric is actually pretty cut-resistant, especially when quilted and layered like Kevlar. He tested with European and Japanese weapons, so the "cutting ability" of the weapon made little difference, as he failed at the same fabric thickness. In plate, yes, a sword will not cut through metal, but cutting straps/laces makes armor not as effective and hinders your opponent's ability to fight you. Taking it to practical examples- a slice to the belly as done in kendo won't get through armor, but if you can cut the lacing, then the armor doesn't work as well. The same applies with European armor- if you cut the laces that are keeping my arm harness attached, then the armor will start to move and interfere with my motion. It was also common in Europe to fight with your visor raised to make it easier to see, hear, and breathe in a melee after you've dismounted (voluntarily or otherwise). That's assuming the fast strikes are noticeable by the opponent. I've been hit in the hand hard with a 3lb club and barely noticed it through my gauntlet, though it did knock my strike off target. A light tap will do nothing in this case. You are right that the sword is a sidearm, and generally a lance, hammer, or similar weapon would be the preferred primary, and this holds true for East and West. However, the sword is the equivalent of a pistol in this case, dagger/tanto remaining the last resort. Have you fought in armor of any kind? It's a very informative experience to any weapon art you study. Tangent- my understanding of modern Kendo is that it comes from an 18th or 19th century system, to which the closest European weapon would be the sabre, as the two-handed sword fell almost completely out of use in the 16th century.

The human brain reaction time to a visual stimulus is between 0.15-0.30 sec (00.00.00.150 - 00.00.00.300 with the timekeeping used in the video), and slightly faster to audio stimulus. Meaning these strikes would land dead on your head 0.016 seconds after your brain registered the visual que that he was about to strike you, IF you had among the fastest reaction time a human can have. If you were average, youd be hit before your brain process the visual que that he was about to attack, crazy.

Excellent demonstration of the power of kendo. HOWEVER, the katana shines as a cutting/slicing weapon. While such harrassing strikes to the opponent's wrist and forearm with this kendo movement is perfectly fine (you can also see in the slo-mo that the sword barely came up at all before moving back down) there is still a large difference between "hitting" with the sword and actually "cutting" with the sword.

My experience in either kendo or Kenjutsu is absolutely non-existent. But from an HEMA perspective I'm very tempted to say that these strikes would be at the very least completely disabling, and quite possibly fatal. we have these kind of casting cuts in sabre, longsword and other systems, I count them as ending the fight if they land clean, it's probably bad enough that there wouldn't be much afterblow either. But it's always hard to say for sure... no one is going to get out there and put that theory to the test.
@jhl3653 Жыл бұрын
@@nylonandstockinggirls2636 Yes. As I said, this kind of strike is perfectly valid. All I'm saying is that, to bring out the maximum potential of the katana as a cutting weapon, one needs to actually wield it as such. Chopping with a sword is not the same as cutting in the sense of slicing.
@jhl3653 Жыл бұрын
@@S.Grenier I agree with you. A strong and rapid chop to the wrist/lower forearm is likely to result in a fracture at minimum. My only point is that the katana is principally a cutting/slicing weapon. The difference is between an attack that disables the wrist vs. one that takes the wrist completely off. This may seem like splitting hairs, but it would be wrong to conclude that a kendoka could actually wield a katana as intended at the same speed as a shinai. In short, can you do certain kendo moves with a katana? Sure. But can you perform kenjutsu moves with a katana at the same speed as you could with a much lighter shinai? No.

You can do it by frame analysis. Film a stop clock that's counting, view the footage frame by frame and see how much time has elapsed after one frame, this is your baseline. From there you can film yourself and count the amount of frames it takes you to complete your action/attack (I am unfamiliar with the exact terminology sorry) and using the baseline amount you got from the stopwatch footage, multiply that by the amount of frames and there you go. There are probably better ways of doing this, but this is a method that's simple and doesn't require any additional equipment than what you already likely have (your phone almost certainly has a stopwatch function). Hope this helps!
