I Trained Like A SAMURAI For A DAY

Today I'm training like a samurai warrior from Japan! 🇯🇵
I visited a samurai museum and learned how to wield weapons like katana and spear. Through my training, I discovered the incredible martial arts history, culture and discipline that the samurai possessed.
I also tried on real samurai armor to experience how it works in combat. Turns out, my Karate skills are basically useless on the battlefield!
Big thanks to Dr. Kacem Zoughari, William ”The Swedish Ninja” Ustav for filming and Samurai Museum Berlin for this amazing experience.

It should be mentioned here that some people have the misconception of japanese armour leaving gaps under the armpits etc, however these areas would often be reinforced with either mail or textile with sewn-in plates called kikko. The reason these aren't always apparent is because they're often covered by fancy textile, unlike in european fashion where the mail covering the gaps is left bare. However written japanese accounts make it clear that defences like this were widely utilised by people who could afford them, at least in the later eras of the samurai. Perhaps not as much in the 12-14th centuries.

Wow I think we need to see more from that adventure!!! Is there a part 2 coming? Great to see someone so enthusiastic about their job and show so much knowledge and passion. This reminded me a lot of a great Aikidoka Nishio Sensei, who always said that with or without a weapon the technique should be the same. Easy to see some examples of this here with the spear techniques and sword techniques; and it clearly highlights why Karate (Okinawan) is not a Budo art, but could be adopted as one when blended with JuJitsu (Wado-Ryu and Shindo jinen-ryu) or using the budo concept of Maai and Ma-ai, but how essentially they are arts for very different purposes. Anyway, great video, more please 🙏

@KARATEbyJesse Жыл бұрын

@mathewpugh9313 Жыл бұрын

Yes, not just the sword. All traditional weapons. The idea is, repeated movements will become reflex actions. When your weapon is knocked away, you can use the same movements with your hands as blades/grapples. It’s quite ingenious. This is why kata is tremendously important, and in-grained in training ranks (colored belts before black belt). It’s said that those belts are not even ranks. It’s conditioning and testing students to see whether they are worthy of becoming karateka. At some point, your sensei will test you by sending attacks at you whilst you are distracted, like standing around talking to someone. If you throw blocks without pausing or stopping while talking, then it shows that you have practiced your kata sufficiently enough that the blocks have become reflex actions. Once, you become black belt, the real learning begins. They will teach you that each movement in kata has 2 or 3 hidden movements. Even the basic zenkutsu dachi has offensive, shurite, aspects. A block is not just a block, it’s also a strike. Bringing the fist back to the waist is not just for ki, it has a hidden aspect of grabbing your enemy and pulling them towards you and into your punch. This is the way.

It is really cool to see how the way you move when wearring an armor changes. I remember my master telling me to never cross legs when moving, (used to train muay thai) because it is really easy for the opponent to drop me. But when the armor is in play, it all changes, because you have to be careful to not expose any unprotected parts. Really awesome to see that!

This is fantastic, Jesse-san! Getting to train with real vintage samurai armor -- even martial artists who practice samurai arts don't get to do that!

Amazing how hand to hand combat has to be adapted to accommodate the armor too. Very cool episode!

That was cool. Some familiar concepts there for myself but also some interesting considerations for the armour. We don't get to practice this way in Kendo shiai but our Kata do reflect a lot of this even though its not specifically setup to account for armour. It's particularly evident in our three kodachi Kata where you face an opponent with the tachi, so you have to have additional defensive considerations whilst taking the sen or initiative to ensure your own success against the longer weapon.

@@KARATEbyJesse If you're ever visiting Northern Ireland and you fancy trying out Kendo, the door is open. We only have ten Kata and the full contact practice but I think you'd really love it. Particularly the stories behind the Kata themselves and how Kendo came to be. It's a small, humble Dojo and I'm a small humble KZfaqr but we'd certainly be honoured by your presence if you were ever in town. Also, I've seen how you eat Kata for breakfast, so it probably wouldn't take long 😂. I'd be very interested to see how you get on in the armour though being such a quick learner. Anyway, I've been looking for a way to bring Kendo into the general martial arts conversation online as we have a habit of mostly just staying in our lane. I follow yourself, Icy Mike, Ramsey Dewey, Rokas and a few others. I feel Kendo has a lot to contribute even though on the surface it wouldn't appear to be particularly practical in this day and age. A well, a Swordsman can dream I suppose. Anyway, door's open like I said. Otherwise keep up the amazing work you do. I never miss a video you put out.

@@WianJooste Not entirely true. While it's true Japan was a right hand dominant culture as a matter of course, in Yagyu Shinkage Ryu (both the Edo and Owari branches) we have techniques where the left hand is leading. These are rarities granted, but they're there. In fact in most cases left handed people have an advantage in sword work. When swinging a sword, the right hand "steers" while the left hand generates power. Right handed people kinda tend to try to do both with their right hand & it takes practice to learn to divide up the hands' responsibilities. Meanwhile lefties are already used to using their left hand so they usually have an easier time. That said, apart from manga or movies ye'd never find a samurai with his swords on his right hip drawing them left handed. The social conventions of the time wouldn't allow it and he'd be banging saya with everyone he walked around.

As far as I know according to modern historical research Ninja or Shinobi were in fact sometimes samurai, shinobi were basically just spies or reconnaissance however sometimes they could carry out assassinations, theft or arson as well.... A good example of a samurai who was also a ninja is Hattori Hanzo, he came from a samurai class but used his military tactics more for espionage or covert operations.... Samurai, although they were warriors, not every warrior in a Japanese fuedal army was a samurai, and there were some samurai that didn't even engage in any form of combat, it was really more of a class/clan thing much like the nobles or aristocrats in Europe, powerful families or clans that owned land and pledged their allegiance to the Shogun much like how nobles pledged their allegiance to a king.... So a samurai could very well be a ninja as well depending on what orders their Daimyo or Warlord would give them during war.... But most of the time ninja were just hired mercenaries who were skilled in espionage or covert operations, there's even cases of ninja just being regular peasants, farmers or prostitutes... So long as a Daimyo or Samurai clan needed anything done covertly be it assassination, arson, theft or just simple Intel gathering then they'd hire a shinobi or ninja and sometimes even a lowly peasant could be right for the job because no one would really suspect a peasant.

Karate and the art of the samurai, an interesting and deadly mix which is sure to surprise and dominate most opponents 👏

Super cool and, imo, it strenghtens the hypothesis on how a lot of movements we still do in martial arts like karate (the hikite, some steps and stuff like that) come from the same basic training people received to fight with weapons.

Wow, this was incredible! I never understood some of the stances I've seen in traditional artwork. I thought it was an artistic choice. The armour makes it all clear. Great video!

This was so cool! I never knew that the samurai had to fight differently due to the armor. I also find it amazing that even after all this time the armor and swords work extremly well. also you looked good with the mustache
