Put shades on him, and he is Master Roshi from Dragonball Z

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 True.

I wonder if this guy trained any HEMA or Wing Chun. It looks so much like German dussack or butterfly swords. Of course, the fact that it looks so much like other arts is probably proof of it's effectiveness.

Hello from algeria and OSS

[@britindian3146]

It would be good to see these practioners demo with a little bit of added pressure because that changes the whole thing ie someone really good at the moves and techniques quickly crumbles when they have someone applying some pressure like in a real life situation. BTW, watch out for Oprah in the background. She may be eyeing up your land, too.

[@indriadrayton1132]

You have whole corporations eyeing your land. Oprah is the least of your worries.

I really like Kirk's sword. I wonder what it's called.

[@Midnite_Marauder]

The sword Master Kirk is using is called the Kalishaw. GM Leo Giron used this bolo during his time as a commando/radio operator in the Philippines during WW2 as well as the Talonason sword. Here's a short clip with more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaGkfmVolNt1i9Usi=uua7wAsGllehBHDE

Not a sword that's a dagger
