[@marcodegiovanni3696]

hope to see this girl again on the Channel!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

She will be on here soon for sure :)

[@vipgameryt1772]

@@GingerNinjaTrickster that would be great

[@KyloRenClub]

You are amazing! We got Shinai swords for Christmas and I am committing to putting together a routine, thanks to your videos I think we'll have a lot of fun!

[@cpiper6338]

An additional tip regarding the downward cut from overhead: Using the push/pull energy of the katana (iaito, in your case), it can help the control at the end of the strike to think about pulling the offhand at the bottom of the handle (tsuka-gashira) forcefully toward your belt line (belt knot if wearing a gi).

[@itinerantpoet1341]

Nice detail.

[@davidtraver5227]

She is outstanding thanks for your tutoring.

[@tejas_0902]

In this world every one needs a teacher like you who is showing a real dedication in teaching..

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Thank you for your support :)

[@unholyalchemist362]

Thank you for sharing and giving me knowlege.

[@Lauren_1998]

Another awesome video! She’s super talented! 😮

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and she sure is :)

[@danidegus412]

I like how she transitions between deadly-ass ninja warrior to super chill teacher in 2 frames. Really really nice job

[@sophiea7]

I like that a lot too

[@itinerantpoet1341]

Temperament is important and she's able to do the movements calmly, with power and assurance. Thus she can transition back to teaching without pause.

[@barakainnocent3240]

All right!!! you are a good teacher ( from Rwanda 🇷🇼)

[@eliteswordsman181]

She is very skilled as well as a good teach. Good video.

[@raikey2176]

You can actually cut your legs with that kind of block/defense with the sword.

[@SirRorschachJack]

how so?

[@NitroriN2]

Not really but still a bad block tho i can just get in her graplibg range and pust her easily if she blocked like that or change to and undercut

[@bjk3697]

It was hard at first, but I started doing it, of course, not all of them.

[@bbylouis2069]

Really good, thanks!GNT😊 I have enjoyed the video so much.. I have been working on the extreme sword techniques learning. And I can see l am doing really great job day by day thanks for the help. It all because of your team and your support. But there is a main reason for I am here. And that is I'm really struggling with the dual katana useing techniques😧😩, like doing strikes, blocks, spinning etcetera. That's why I'm feeling very sorry for my students and for myself😢😭. It's about my future. So if you please please help us it will be a great honour😢. Now it's all up to you. ❤ your team forever!!

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

I'm glad that we could help and maybe in the future :)

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

No problem :)

[@KnyAkaza825]

Hey the sword will break if the direction is changed the mid way. The angle of force and the angle of direction of cutting must be zero.

[@tahianabenelyah1480]

C`est impressionnant!!! Question: Est-ce que ce Katana est tranchant ou non tranchant???

[@derryvirgo2300]

Really now you DO NOT use a Japanese KATANA like that now do you really think the samurai would use the katana like that now no they wouldn’t

[@leodaido]

awesome!!

[@jelll4063]

First strike it already wrong you're starting the swing all the way to your back, if you know what Jodan is you start there to do a downward strike from above.

[@Cvm-vf1hy]

The website is not working. That website is for sale by some shady company...too bad. Hopefully she is going to run a youtube channel soon. I would watch that. Very talented and ambitious.

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Check her instagram instead :)

[@glsmw]

Very power full. I just wanted to point out that if you block your head in the way how you do, your fingers will get chopped off when opponent try to cut you vertically.

[@Dorion2210]

Okay so.. striking downward towards your own leg is stupid, same like you said with blocking, you can cut/hit yourself. Second your blocking your head with the handle (or even your hands) arms need to be further behind you to make an effective block.

[@mariofischer5437]

This is obviously some kind of show practice. I would not judge it with budo logic. She does show an accomplishment with her moves and it‘s great fun to watch it. Would be interesting to know more about the sport.

[@itinerantpoet1341]

What I see at 3:27 is: strike, counter, strike, counter, press. Those spinning movements in transition have application beyond simply generating power for cuts. Using an upward press instead of block will give you control of the opponent's sword, creating the opening for a definitive cut. Great posture, btw! I can see why she's a champion. Students should understand how important good body frame is for real speed and power.

[@raulkimani6413]

more plz

[@anneelaine9343]

it is indeed an extreme basics . thanks for this cuz i manage to learn something important about sword skill . i do have my own skill . base on my creativity .

Is their a block for diagonal strike

[@Rikitooh]

You couldn't use any of these against anyone who can do some real aikido/whatever.

[@davidtraver5227]

She is outstanding

[@germoney69]

looks great, but has not much to do with real sword fighting....it is nice for handling and letting the weapon become part of your body.....

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Hence the extreme.. :)

Loved her....really 💖

Hey GNT can you do gainer switches? How much you can do?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Used to do 3 but don't drill them anymore.

[@Rudra_Kumar]

If you can still do that please make it's tutorial

[@Rudra_Kumar]

Your tutorials are excellent i have learnt many tricks like backhandspring ,backflip, but while i am landing my backflips my chest remains very low How can i improve it

[@ordinarymodder905]

These "techniques" look more like tricks then practical and effective moves. I really doubt they would be implemented effectively in sparing.

[@gaurigautam5961]

which type of sword is she using?

[@lokeshjs7691]

U r looking very nice

[@fastfoxxx88]

Can she teach some combos for the next vids?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

There are some coming soon :)

[@xinzeng-iq7zv]

Jiggling jiggling

[@atvoriginals]

how to make our body so strong that it can absorb any kick's impact bro?

[@GingerNinjaTrickster]

Will cover this in the future :)

[@atvoriginals]

GingerNinjaTrickster Thanks bro Today i am gonna be facing a guy probably of abt 80-90KG in my sparring by abt 7:00pm🇮🇳 BTW my weight is 69Kg and i am also overweight so pray for me bro... i guess it will be fun n my plan is to be like water that flows,crushes...

[@bradleyduncanburge106]

Your like elektra natchious

[@thetamika-el7282]

As Katori Shinto-Ryu samurai practioner, this is what NOT to do. So much wasted energy and movement. My world renown 10. dan Japanese Grandmaster Sensei Japan and my 7. Dan Japanese Sensei in Europe would yell at me with this sacrilegious way of handling a samurai sword. This is an insult to our 600-year-old tradition.

[@opusjosh]

Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu here! I don't want my sensei to k ow I'm here lol!

[@SebastianSchachner]

We always get told that we cut with the sword, so es should slide down instead of chop

[@Cvm-vf1hy]

It depends a lot on what kind of sword you are using. As in this case she is wielding a Katana wich has a triangle shaped blade and is basically used to chop of stuff...like arms. So the technique is comparable to an axe strike rather than a knife. But you are right with your remark when you are using a chinese sword for example, that is rather used like a knife. You slice up your enemy quite nice, piece by piece.

[@SebastianSchachner]

C. vm when you use a real katana you should slice, otherwise you ruin the sword

[@Cvm-vf1hy]

A real Katana can actually cut through bones and even harder materials like armour pieces. The Samurai were practicing by cutting off arms and legs from criminals (until they found it too cruel semselves eventually and turned towards cutting straw mats for training, as you can see in one of the videos.). Your worst thought in a battle is not :"OMG, my sword will get scratches, I can't handle this!" It's more like :" OMG! How do I survive this sh**!?". I found a couple of videos here on youtube that hopefully will explain the difference between slicing and chopping moves : kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWO5dmt4oc9_r8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2HQgXarbrObeNU versus slicing with a straight chinese sword : kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3yznWeuh9CUkJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/pauTmmeLq7aap6s See the difference ? A Katana still has a sharp blade and therefore you can slice with it of course. So the truth is, as in most cases, somewhere in the middle. Hopefully that explains it better. Have fun watching :)

[@NitroriN2]

@@Cvm-vf1hy i disagree No sword can cut though bone or even armor thats bs. You can cut joints or break a bone but not truly cut it. Also the preferred way to deal damage with a sword cut is primally a mixture of chop and slice so yeah tho katana's curved blade sort of automatically slice a bit so it cuts better than a straight swords.

[@NitroriN2]

@@Cvm-vf1hy Also axe is not a sword Axes uses its mass to cut things swords uses your bodies mass and structure to cut.

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

(1)Who is your sensei, (2) Where is the location,(3)How old are you. Just curious, I know its not right to ask a ladies age. But you are very good, but look so young 😁🙈🤞

[@gmol2812]

i guess it s not really important since this is more artistic than realystic, but what are u blocking?

[@GinXYZ]

Utter nonsense. This is nothing more than tricking.

[@OmegaZeero]

Well yeah XMA Xtreme martial arts which is martial arts and tricking. Never said it was anything like Kenjutsu

[@GinXYZ]

Omega Zeero Those who are lacking in knowledge may interpret this as actual skill, hence my comment.

[@Boasill]

Dane Ilario How about not calling it utter nonsense then?

[@GinXYZ]

Boasill Okay. I will call it jumping up and down and flailing ones arms about. Is that better?

[@jonathandoe1367]

@@GinXYZ I mean, to be fair, this is pretty much just watered-down bare-bones basics for those who have yet to discover HEMA, being developed through demonstrations of technical skill. It's not being applied in a practical way, but once upon a time this was the normal way of transmitting the art intergenerationally (with expert instruction as well, of course). It's just sad that she has to explain where to hold the thing and which way to hold the sharp end. Plus, I'm pretty sure putting the sword fully behind your head IS complete nonsense. It doesn't generate any more power as far as I'm aware, and leaves you much more open than a real high-guard would. It kind of like how amateurs pull their arms too far back when throwing haymakers. It's just pointless telegraphing. P.S. Unless you're stabbing at someone behind you over your head. That could theoretically work, but has way too low of a skill floor to be practical, and even then you wouldn't want it pointing down that far. It would give your stabbing bad body mechanics, and thus be a detriment to its power, and would seriously hurt your recovery time. Plus, if your sword held were directly above your head, that would give let you dish out a wicked pommel-strike, potentially countering an opponent stepping into your guard to avoid your attack.

[@lominat6184]

Cool moves, but only for flexing or recreation with a dull blade, they wouldn't work in a real sword fight. For example The block - blocking an attack using your handle ain't good idea, your hands have like 99% chance to end up being cut, and this renders you unable to wield your sword anymore. Skilled warrior could changeThe angle to cut you from your shoulder, and there is no real way to counter this with a stance like this, especially having your Legs like this, 99% people skilled or not would use this oppurtunity to knock you down. Use your Legs to secure your balance and use your handguard (tsuba) to protect yourself, it was made for a reason

[@Changingfatemusic]

Is she using a Katana
