Weapons: Katana, Nunchaku, Sai 2014

Toying around with top-down lighting and weapons.

[@soraooxasrikukeyhold]

you never cease to amaze me. seeing your videos is what keeps inspiring me to train a little harder each day

[@sssentertainment]

Thank you, fellow warrior. :D

[@kellersmith2004]

+sssentertainment That was real good but it would have been better if you showed all the weapons you know how to use.

[@kellersmith2004]

+sssentertainment Hey watch Kwonkicker, WhirlwindAction, Eric Jacobus, Chloe and Grace Bruce,Emil Martirossian, Master Wong-Michael Wong on youtube.

[@IAmLo4f]

I get the distinct impression that you were showing off with the dual sai's at one point

[@sssentertainment]

haha. Maybe. :p

[@toasega]

Too bad you didn't finish the video with a Bo staff, you could have had a whole "TMNT" thing going on.

[@sssentertainment]

Haha. Good point.

[@warinwongniyom7376]

+S.A.M. That's what noticed me first, Haha

[@pepperhead16]

That would've been perfect! I was hoping for it lol still bad ass though sssenterainment!!

sssentertainment thank u I loved the sai

[@lordenzolegacy]

I've been watching you for a while, so I say this with much love. You need to work on the Katana a lot more. It started off good but got bad pretty quick. Mad nunchaku skills. Keep up all the good work! Looking to see you in some new films soon

[@sssentertainment]

I agree that handling the double-bladed katana was quite cumbersome to manipulate. Especially so, due to the wobbliness of the cheap construction and heaviness. Careful execution and re-training the techniques was required to reduce the wobble as much as possible. Not an easy weapon to swing around. But still, a worthwhile challenge that I wanted to try out.....

[@shainer13]

Awesome performance with the weapons

[@ashmanroonz]

The nunchuck parts was awesome

[@danyhermawan7654]

oh man, you look like a character from mortal kombat

[@krolegend2061]

Awesome Job! Your skills with nunchaku are great!

[@sssentertainment]

Thank you for your generous words. Training is a delight. :)

[@groot724]

I definitely love your nunchucku skills. Wish you did one on a staff.

[@reecebrinkman808]

That was actually a similar Friday about the staff such as a bo/staff in particular

[@PAPANOSUKE100]

Great one !!! Coooooooooooooooool Have a great day －－－　Greetings from Japan

[@ninjamonkey508]

yo shaun great quality video, cool video and nice move with the nunchucks. that was a cool trick keep it up man

[@sssentertainment]

Thanks, martial arts friend. :D

[@bluesummerstaylor3987]

Wow.....This video was magnificent. I'm not here to try and learn flashy ways of handling a sai, but seriously: To a martial arts fiend such as myself this was an art form of it's own. A beautiful mixture of visual imagery through the costumes and background, music and dance, and of course, incorporated into kata shape that flows with the music through out the video and is quite breath taking. I really hope you see the possibility here of an astounding art and create more videos of this quality or better. Hah, it'd be personally quite enjoyable to see you take a much faster electronic dance beat and perform a very complex display (Just for the sake of showing off, but hey, it'd be both a challenge and beautiful.) of your fastest possible combinations of sai, tonfa, and nunchaku movements.

[@sssentertainment]

I will consider that, thank you. I am honor by your generous compliment. Looking and moving forward to improving my craft in both martial arts and filming. :)

[@ahimsa3334]

I like it, it's really good! ;)

[@carni3665]

Nice kitsune mask.

[@attikus180]

amazing as always! do you have any videos on the chain manipulation stuff you do?!

[@sssentertainment]

Chain manipulation? Like the Kusari gama?

[@attikus180]

+sssentertainment maybe I'm wording it wrong but what I mean is tricks using the chain or like illusion tricks. I wish I could explain it better. I think I got the expression from Ken Hill

[@sssentertainment]

I have a few videos where I'm doing tricks with rope weapons.... Not so much with the chain. Any video links of the chain as examples I could see?

[@SunSheepOfLight]

You forgot the Bo Staff.

[@Melsaysfukoff]

Inspiring

[@megamix777]

Greatfull!! Songs in this video?

[@MrDubooo]

WOW!!!

[@davidfontes7132]

Are you able to use a chakram?

[@lordfrieza1019]

[@Awkw04]

I think katana can do a clean kill but nunchuks are cooler

[@Mike-kd4sh]

I was wondering if I could use some of your videos and try to recreate them for an indie hack 'n' slash I'm trying to create. Would I be able to get your permission? I'd put you in the credits section in the game.

[@sssentertainment]

Certainly. Best wishes in your efforts.

[@Mike-kd4sh]

Thanks. Much appreciated

[@yellowmustard7482]

I gotta guess youre a G with the knives then, balisong, karambit etc.😂

I've been playing with them a lot, recently. Fun stuff. But a bit scary when playing with the sharp ones... 0.o

a double katana...there's a reason this was never used in war

[@Chosen-of-Khorne]

ineffective af

[@ryzomodzz1777]

Jake Diaz actually a double katana is a weapon for show not actually for fighting

[@shaguftatabassum1802]

it was first used in arab 1400 yrs ago its name is dulfiqarby hazrath ALI rzt

[@gamingtest4684]

Looking from a video chucks looks much better compare a double katana,and ofcorse sai.

[@adarius99]

Jake Diaz A regular katana is a very useful weapon.

[@colinquinton474]

Is that an hello kitty mask ???

[@drpraveenp]

Nunchucks won: like if you agree

[@adarius99]

Praveen Prasannan Katana's are more effective.

[@bolivianoman1831]

If you talk of the choreography your right, but the nunchaku are one of the weapons less effective in combat. I prefered fight with a sai or a bo that with a nunchaku. Sorry if my English isn't good, I'm learning yet.

[@detectiveamevirus8]

@@bolivianoman1831 ok

[@yahirhernandez46]

pls help : im playing ninjas with my brother but Im using a plastic katana and he is using two sais but i always win beacuse he cant even reach me with those

[@j.koronelirken4227]

Why the latter has a cat mask?

[@LordArioh]

I know what everyone gonna say, another expert in the comment section, but .. katana part is OK as some gymnastics exercise, tho really unpractical and technically wrong. Try more of a battojutsu, that is way more challenging and better. Nunchacku part is cool, in my country impossible to get speed chucks, they are forbidden, so I practice with huge wooden ones, and that speed can kill you. Tho I'll make my own someday.

[@sssentertainment]

"unpractical and technically wrong" How is it "technically wrong" if the movements are a freestyle discipline. It follows no classical pattern. Only flowing with the moment. As for "unpractical", I would say that a double-bladed sword does not give any major particular combat advantage, other than a double cut. The definite downside is the extra weight that comes from wielding a double-bladed sword. "battojutsu, that is way more challenging and better" There are many Japanese styles of sword that are "way more challenging", but that ultimately depends on the practitioner's ability to grasp the discipline. As for "better", this is a matter of personal opinion and preference.

[@ava111280]

Having the katana in double doesn't make it any better

[@rafaelg1570]

Emm man the ninjas not use katana he's use ninjato for ninjutsu

[@erikkennedy8725]

Absolutely lost me at “Double bladed naginata.” No. It doubles the surface area and halves the striking power. That’s pure physics. You’re splitting the impact across two edges rather than a single one.

[@sssentertainment]

There was no "Naginata" used in this video.

[@erikkennedy8725]

@@sssentertainment katana maybe? Physics principles are the same though.

[@sssentertainment]

@@erikkennedy8725 Correct. Since it is heavier, it would have to be utilized with more striking force, much like heavy weapons such as maces, European long swords, warhammers, battle axes, etc......... which are, of course, much heavier than a double-bladed katana. Practicality of such a sword, however, can be debated. Aesthetics-wise, it's a cool concept.
