* How to order a steel sparring katana* blog.naver.com/duadua921/223103556958 This sword is on sale! We sell at a lower price! Check out the link for more details!🗡🗡

As a HEMA practitioner who comes here to learn more about Eastern swordsmanship, I loved this. The blade grab thrust was very interesting. It's similar to my favorite longsword disarm, but with the katana's shorter blade you can take the more direction option and just stab!

I love this video. You guys are true students of martial arts, willing to test what you know and learn from your experiences in order to be better at your art. Much respect to you

Amazing!! I love how he combines eastern and western techniques into something entirely new! Very interesting guy! and as a German myself I really like their name: Gesellschaft Schwertmann!

Loved it! I'm a HEMA practioner and all the skills being shown here are on point. It's great that you're mixing it up and learning from each other. I've fenced a kenjutsu guy before and he was very good, I definitely learned some things.

The uptick in HEMA being explored by kenjutsu practitioners recently is really fascinating. It’s been a thing since forever seeing HEMA practitioners going over kendo and the like, but seeing the opposite really brings something new to the scene

It's always nice to see different styles of combat and weapons interacting with each other. Thank you all for the video 👍🏻

As a Kendoka who came via jianfa to HEMA I really felt at home watching this. Thsnks for sharing.

Very cool video! As a follow up, would be interesting if you guys showed us Sangsoodo (korean two-handed) techniques and in a later video compared it with montante / claymore / zwei-hander techniques. Every HEMA nerd loves watching Figueyredo related videos.

This is the best youtube channel about swordsmanship

Seeing a bunch of references to historical Japanese martial arts texts as well here! Seeing Yagyu Munenori, Yamamoto Kansuke and even some Miyamoto Musashi here too. Love when people finally see that, while HEMA and HJMA have their differences, there is plenty that crosses over too. This is even more evident in steel sparring. Vids like this are great! Please keep them up 🙏

I love this upward cut. It almost feels like a krumphau, but from below. I want to try it out in sparring now!

That's awesome, it's nice to see active Hema forms work along side of Kenjutsu. Well done

Very good video. As an HEMA practitioner, I enjoyed to see the two styles clash with respect for everyone.

This is martial arts at its purest: Figuring out what works for the purposes of fighting! Kendo, HEMA, iaido, chanbara, arnis/escrima...the style doesn't matter necesarily, it's how you apply the techniques and adapt them to your own needs. Thank you for sharing!

This is a great perspective presented by hema practitioners. So much technique i've never seen before 👍🏼

Great work. While people sometimes complain about social media, it can be very beneficial for those of us interested in martial arts. There is just so much interesting stuff to learn! Only recently did I discover on KZfaq how Irish sword skills made their way to America. Now I’m seeing a mixture of European swords and kendo. So great to see all these mix ups.

As always, another great video. Interesting choice of guest and I loved what they introduced into your skill mix.

This was fascinating to watch and I am very glad you posted this. I have always been interested in the differences between the two styles.

For what i´ve understood both European and Japanese swordmanship had pretty much all the same moves with slight variations depending on weapons and armor. Nowdays Kendo has lost many of the techniques after becoming a sport instead of tool to stay alive in a fight. I´ve heard that there is one over 100 years old video of a sword demonstration that includes some techniques that are nowdays forgotten in Kendo. We all have quite similar body structure and mechanics and so there are limited ways to fight effectively. As such all fighting disciplines tend to have the same moves even though local laws and other conditions might cause some variation.

Production quality is getting to be very impressive, I am excited to see such continuous improvement!

What most people don't understand about kenjutsu is that it has the same essence as jujutsu. Think of kenjutsu as grappling art and less a slashing art. This guy applied a kenjutsu throw beautifully. This is one of those powerful throws you will never see in Judo.

I love it when people with different skillsets get together and collaborate rather than argue which techniques are superior

As someone who has been involved in the HEMA revival since the beginning, almost 30 years now, I absolutely LOVE your channel! Best wishes from myself and the students of the Hotspur School of Defence in north-east England. Rob HEMAの復活に最初から関わってきた人として、ほぼ30年になりますが、私はあなたのチャンネルが大好きです! 私とイングランド北東部のホットスパー防衛学校の学生からの幸運を祈ります。 ロバート

That disarm was so smooth, I couldn't see the move at speed. Impressive, most impressive!

I do HEMA, SCA and just picked up a class of Kendo. I am very excited about this. Great work!

I really like your channel you are of the few if not the only channel on you tube that shows asian style swordfighting with actual nice sparring and you guys just seem very passionate about you channel i really loves it. Keep it up

Having done Kendo for a long time and now HEMA Longsword I've seen that there is unsurprisingly quite a lot of cross over. Having spent so much time in Kendo doing techniques with a single cutting edge I still struggle to employ false edge techniques in longsword combat though.

The concept of kendo beginning to practice with steel for is really in my opinion a cool evolution of fencing in general that i would like to see more of.

I think the best thing about this, is that it shows the difference between the training of a thing as an art and the use of the thing outside of the thing's own "rules".

really nice to see the exchange of practice. Thanks for speak about HEMA in your vidéo. :)

I know this dude's channel, he has explored a lot of ancient eastern weaponry. Amazing channel deserve more view and recognition.

I love your videos they keep me humble I still have a lot to learn God bless you my friends

close distance sword fights are super exciting to watch very dynamic and tense

Watching a fluid blademaster is a spectacle to watch, a deadly one at that.

Nice he's integrating the use of binding with the katana rather than the quick parry that katana often employs (but rather than binding to thrust like with longsword it's more of a cut which makes sense for katana)

Great guest! Please bring him back for more videos.

When he grip the sword, and press againts his shoulder, it hold the Blade in place, plus slide his Blade to kill and take control on his aponent Blade so he don't get hurt,such an impresive tecnique

That was really cool. Great techniques.

WOWIE I LOVE THIS!! Id like to see more of this its incrediblee

Hey that guy its me. Im an HEMA and koryu budo kenjutsu man too

I love the work you're doing!!

This is great. Practical fighting is about what works, not what technique is correct for a specific situation. By blending aspects of many different practices, it gives you less weaknesses and a large advantage over an opponent who only utilizes one form. Of course all of this takes lots and lots of practice.

I always wished I could learn more hand to hand skills with swords. But sadly I haven't a mentor to practice with.

Never tried kendo or hema or really looked into it but this video was so awesome

요즘 영상 느낌이 너무 깔끔해요! 컨셉 잘 바꾸신것 같아요

This channel is a sword nerd's heaven. I love it.

This was very interesting. I saw more effective techniques here than in almost any other video before. Its cool seeing how it can actually work in a fight rather than just the theory of it against a cooperating opponent.

Great video!

Awesome Amazing loved it! :)

Great vid ..love it

I am falling in love with this channel

Great ❤❤❤ awesome vid 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much❤

More video with Lim! And he need do some video about Gesellshaft! Bless!

Any Skallagrim fans? can someone send this to him I'd love to know his thoughts as a fan of HEMA and Kendo.

That was informative..thank you..

Wonderful video,thank you!

Very, very cool, guys! Subscribed!;)

Absolutely wonderful!

Excellent video, thank-you.

ow that disarm was smooooth *cheffs kiss"*

I loved it! :)

One of my best friends teaches english in Seoul. I would love to visit and train with all the Korean sword players!

Pls a video with a Chilean or Argentinean Huaso/gaucho and a Machete and a Poncho

this is incredibly impressive. Talented guy!

This way of sparring and practicing is so nice :D

Excellent 🗡️ took me oh maybe five seconds to see this is a real Swordsman 🙏 my respect 🙏. Love the pressure move, very similar to duel wielding "eagle wings". Yeah 🤔 I will be saving this in my "Training videos" playlist. A little surprised we didn't see a fake attack / faint . That's my favourite move . Raise right arm and click fingers 👀 ,step left and upward strike with left hand. Bruce Lee did this side step ! Forces your opponent to adjust his position and open his stance. In this second, attack 🗡️🙏☯️ Great video.

Amazing!

In the old period, yes these deadly techniques had been use alot when melee weapons were popular. If guns weren't invented we would still use them today.

So elegant. Thanks for sharing

That was amazing!

Great video, very practical.

Very cool channel!

Imagine if Lightsaber fights were like this (aside from the grabbing of the sword). I would like to see an Old Republic story with these techniques... Or Maybe a Pre Vizla story with the Darksaber (based upon its resemblance to an actual sword).

Amazing 🤩

This was a nice video, makes me sad I dont have a kendo or HEMA club in my area...

That upper cut to the wrist is good base technique. The counter is to just push the opponents' blade down. I'm not discounting that cut, but its part of the roots of almost all swordsmanship. There are tones of counters if you've dueled even a little you know, or have seen a couple of them.

This could be the birth of Mixed Sword Martial Art (MSMA) or Mixed Weapon Martial Art (MWMA). Would we see the rise of new combat sport?

I am pretty sure that the upward slash, aiming to cut the wrist, exists in traditional kendo! There is also a loose grip technique which makes it even more effective. Then again, perhaps the translation was a bit off and I am by no means an expert! Just academically interested :)

That was awesome!

I wondered if kendo player could use western (long)sword techniques. Now I now. Fantastic work!

Honestly, this is awesome...

That's a thing about HEMA that surprised me when I first started. As a beginner I dumbly thought it would be blade against blade (like you see in sportive fencing), but no, no, no. Most styles (because there are many styles and many schools) consist of trying to disarm, grabbing your opponent's weapon, grabbing their arms/hands, punching, kicking and going hand to hand... In some italian manuscript, it even decribes how to dislocate your opponent elbow by pushing it in with your hand ! Anyway, HEMA include way more pugilism than most people think, it can be disconcerting. I would have loved to see your HEMA player using a european medieval weapon (like a one handed sword, a sword and buckle, a staff, a halberd...) and not a katana, just to see how you'd do against such unfamiliar weapons and fighting style.

very interesting ! good way to understand fight with steel weapon.

Gut job! Aim like it! :)

outstanding!

You guys really know how to have fun

Phenomenal

Another bit about the upwards cut to the wrists. With many European swords (any double edged sword, really), you don’t even need to reposition your arms to cut. You can dip the blade down and cut upwards with the false edge without turning your sword.

Man that was tight af

Very nice, efficient and fluent movement. Some fundamentals of Ringen (wrestling) is also used and can be seen here as a very effective principle, rather than the pure technique :) Respect. Super!

2:32 what a beautyfull sequence of "WOO"

I would like you to provide Western swords to an eastern sword specialist and see their thoughts. I would also like you to react to Shadaversity's videos. The madman created some interesting swords by swaping hilts with asain swords.

I need more of this

Formidable! Of course, combine east and west. Brilliant!

Amazing!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is great to watch! I wish more swordfights in movies were actual sparring between really competent practitioners - not choreographed, two people (presumably with hidden padding) genuinely trying to hit each other, then cut and reshoot a few times to splice it into a narrative scene. Or at least, have the fight choreography based on a real fight (so head protection could still be used when writing the scene)

Superb, please collab with Skallgrim

this was amazing to see.

So I know that's a SPES type jacket, but where do I get Kendo style hakama padded like in your Saber vs Nara Blade video? It looks really good.
