Samurai Sword Master Rates 10 Samurai Battle Scenes In Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

[@niall_sanderson]

If you haven’t seen Seki’s KZbin videos, you should change that. His channel is great

[@heesoo18]

It’s so good… he does crazy stuff too like long sword vs katana

[@theenigma7685]

Whats his channel

[@McHaro0079]

I guess it's the Let's Ask Seki Sensei one.

[@rikachiu]

I like how he doesn't even comment on why he's seeing Hiroyuki Sanada in like every scene

[@goldenshark3182]

Sanada’s a legendary actor in Japan, everyone there knows him, there’s really no point to mention the obvious.

[@Rystefn]

@@goldenshark3182 By rights, he should be legendary in the US, too. He's fantastic in everything he's in, and he's been in so damned many great films.

[@kevinmorrice]

seki sensei has a great perspective on things, he doesnt go "no thats wrong" he takes context into account, isnt above adapting to new things, enjoys seeing and learning new things

[@tarinindell8217]

Ive been watching Seki Sensei on KZbin for a while, great content. Im so glad he popped up here, id love to see him get all the recognition he deserves.

[@travisinthetrunk]

Glad he what??? Lmao

[@RichC97]

Ayooo???

[@Kjleed13]

Sanada takes so much care in portraying Samurai as authentic as possible.

[@myfinalheaven9590]

I love how respectful he is, that he said Mr. Sanada

[@oftensalty]

Wait, they got Seki sensei? NOICE!

[@kynshii]

One of my favorite segments on KZbin. We've always wondered what the people who are really involved in certain areas of life think about some these movie portrayals. Thanks 🙏🏾 Insider

[@cy85041]

10 Samurai battle scenes from movies, half of them starring Hiroyuki Sanada in some form or another ⚔

[@lolomgwtfbbqqqq]

For John Wick, in the movie it contextually makes sense neither person was outright trying to kill the other and therefore needlessly clashing swords prolonging the fight. They were friends and didn't want to kill the other.

[@gilgamesh8334]

More of this!!! We need more experts reaction to portrayals of their own history, culture etc.

[@Vinceras]

What a thoroughly enjoyable watch! Would love more of this!

[@ryanxwonbin7984]

Hiroyuki Sanada coming out in almost half of these videos shows just how much Hollywood goes to him for anything samurai related. Not that I'm complaining, love Sanada.

[@inkstain84]

I watch pretty much all of these Insider videos, and this one really stood above most of the rest. He does a good job of balancing accuracy with storytelling and fun. The demonstrations of some techniques were great. I really would love to see an extended cut of some of these Insider videos, but this one especially.

[@kwezicanca3698]

Being this early is super easy, barely an inconvenience!!

[@kynshii]

OH REALLY???

[@GamingNightsNeoMasaki]

Seki Sensei!? Wow,this is incredible!

[@Fastwinstondoom]

Seki Sensei deserves better than bot comments !

[@jatilq]

I wish one of the scenes were from the Samurai Trilogy about Musashi Miyamoto. I hope we see this guy again.

[@exediron188]

I feel I'm missing out by not speaking Japanese here, but even the translation is very good insight. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@re_animatedabby6791]

This gentleman is clearly skilled and has mastered his craft. Hes also very king and well spoken. Well done sir it was an honor to hear you speak. Would love for them to have tou back to hear your thoughts on Blue Eye Samurai as it was written and created by Asian American and she seems to have out great care and detail into the historical aspects.

[@jonwesick2844]

Seki Sensei is great! Love his channel.

[@hhale]

Thank you for this. I felt a compulsion to take notes. Interesting and informative.

[@JamesMiller-lb3sk]

I like how these people cover different professions

[@RyanPerez-x1j]

Seki sensei?!?! this is awesome ♥

[@MariaBuono-u1d]

Your videos are a real treat! They are always informative and well edited.♣️🍒👙

[@mrpurple2306]

Dont ever question the Sensei, Wax on, wax off

[@soulknife20]

Is this the same guy who uses other swords like rapiers like he's weilding a katana?

[@K150arts]

seki sensei!! I hoped id see him on this series one day!

[@TheSithLord]

Brilliant video.

[@1.4142]

3:50 From personal experience

[@nicknorris100]

Shogun prepped me for this video

[@ChromeHaw]

Heh, was that Hiroyuki Sanada in like 3 of those movies? And even when he wasn't shown, wasn't he also in like 2 more as cast just not on screen at the time? :)

[@theasiangod5860]

basically. The very first one, Shogun, is a very good show. It stars Hiroyuki Sanada but he was not shown in that part.

[@macbrown99]

Sanada is to samurai flicks as John Wayne was to westerns, you can kind of expect him to be there somewhere.

[@KingAmroth]

SEKI SENSEI! YESSS

[@GEN47-27]

i keep hoping for Kenshin to be reviewed , esp the fight with Sojiro

[@silveriver9]

Hollywood always get it wrong.

[@where_r_you6890]

I wish he checked out blue eyed samurai to see what he thought of it but I don’t think it counts bc it’s animated.

[@liam_smith_65536]

まさかの関先生参戦という激アツ展開

[@touhoutrash2436]

Samurai swords!

[@scottbarkley496]

The Last Samurai = Masterpiece

[@ridemx323]

came here for Shogun

[@patrickleonard4187]

Sensei!!!!!!!!!

[@makoent2231]

I like the comment about Ninja. If a Ninja has to fight, he's been caught and is bad at his job. I like this, because we know what we know about Ninja because of the ones who failed at their jobs.

[@archange776]

yes because ninja purpose infiltration to deep side of enemy,if you get caught its mean unexperienced or new (Correct me if i am wrong)

[@makoent2231]

@@archange776 That's correct. Espionage is their role, which can include disrupting, spying, sabotage, and potentially assassination. We know of their workings, because of the ones who got caught.

[@d33b33]

Aw, Insider muscled Ask Shogo's sensei away from him. 😮‍💨

[@Addictmentorsimonsayshmp]

Ok not what I was expecting! What 😮😢 ….

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

13:45 Exactly, I started training martial arts at 12, and rotated arts over the decades including Ninjutsu and Kenjutsu, as per Bruce Lee's advice, Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Absorb what is useful. Never did find a genuine Jeet Kune Do instructor, (several fakes I exposed) however did train with Grand Master Shishir Inocalla in the Filipino empty hand and weapon arts. And yes the Katana is a very good weapon but it can bend and break, the Ninja are not the invincible ultimate assassins' as depicted in film, Ninja were the spies, highly trained and skilled yes, but they seldom engaged in open battle.

[@bowdlerise]

ninjin

[@leoperidot482]

Here are some cult favorites. BT?W, what is cult favorites? Usually means majority hated the move except for a few who haven't a clue about movies. BLUE TIGER DEADPOOL. ENTER THE NINJA. GHOST DOG. HIGHLANDER ENDGAME. THE HUNTED. THE MASTER, NINJA SCROLLS. THE OCTAGON. PREDATORS.. REVENGE OF THE NINJA. RUSH HOUR 3. SEVEN SAMURAI. SHOGUN. WOLVERINE ORIGIN.

[@soulknife20]

Deadpool, Wolverine Origins, and Rush Hour 3 aren't cult classics, my dude

[@malfmalf120]

wht abt zoro three swords style 😅😅

[@billm5555]

Man, I wish this was dubbed

[@dri1811ya]

That would've been hilarious

[@wulfrache]

Tell us about all the great non-Asian Samurai from History, and the LGBQT2 ones too. I want to hear about all of them.

[@Ike-Mi]

cmon, he not really a samurai sword master. its not the same as cia agent, ex sniper, ex pro fighter rates movie scenes

[@DUKE-w6n]

Seki Nobuhide Sensei: Sensei=The word for the title sensei is commonly translated as a teacher, although the word literally would have another meaning - a person who was born before, ie. a person who was spiritually born before others, or rather, a person who knows life (one who has gone before).The Japanese word sensei is composed of two words; Sen - before and sei - life. Master: Title vs. Rank: In martial arts, the title “master” is often used to distinguish a highly revered instructor or practitioner, rather than to signify a formal rank. This honorary title is not necessarily tied to a specific belt rank or level of proficiency. Expertise and Teaching: A martial arts master is someone who has achieved a high level of expertise in their art and has a deep understanding of its techniques, principles, and philosophies. They have typically spent many years studying and practicing under the guidance of a senior instructor or master, and have themselves taught and mentored students to achieve mastery.
