I took some iaido classes for a few years and this was pretty accurate. Last hour of class was usually bringing the damp tatami mats out and setting them up for cutting. It might look like a lot of their swings don't have a lot of power behind them, but they do. It's all coming from the lower body like the hips and back. Those smooth casual swings would cut your hands off. Though generally when not cutting Tatami, practice iaito are used.

@DaveSmith-cp5kj 2 жыл бұрын

From what I read, most of the things like the graceful movements and all were basically non-existent. Samurai fought closer to how a gangster in Brazil fights with a machete. Of course, most of the skills still were preserved, but there was a lot more expedience in their movements since speed is life. I also believe they didn't slash as much as they stabbed with the swords. There is no evidence to say either way, but I just can't imagine a cut being very useful considering most wore some form of armor especially if going to war. A stab would be far more effective. Just like IRL military, when they teach how to fight with a knife, they teach stabbing to end a fight as it is much more effective than cutting and waiting for the enemy to bleed out.

@igordias6881 2 жыл бұрын

@@DaveSmith-cp5kj slashing was useful at that time bcs they were obviously a lot stronger, faster and more precise, through an armor plate of course stabbing will work, but imagine the damage when they land a clean slash on the joints of the armor, such as elbows, shoulders, knees and specially the neck, shit, a sword war must been just outrageous, vicious, brutal, demonic, we are just blessed to live in such peaceful time..

This tradition should be kept alive, and I think this things make you proud of your identitiy and with pride, you are not shy/ashamed of yourself. With that we can be unified easily (not wanting a seperate entity just so you can exist) i think this cultural event should exist in everu different communities and ethnicities, they can build harmomy, exchange ideas, preserve and promote each other's cultures, with that i hope we can live a unified and harmonious life.

I'm no expert but it seems that the aim here is to be able to cut the roll as many times as possible, as cleanly and quickly as possible. Because during a real battle/flurry attack you never know which strike may actually land due to the opponent defending, so all of the swings during a flurry must be accurate, powerful and fast enough to slice the roll... And maintaining endurance of that must be hard when wielding a katana those things are not light - I've seen the hands of people who train with them and they are all calloused up! Props to these guys doing this in their elderly ages too with so much skill

@Sapreme 2 жыл бұрын

It's a display of technique and skill more than it is a display of power. Katana are not like axes, if you try to chop with them like you would an axe then it will not make a clean cut. You have to "slice" as well as "chop" in the same motion (kind of like a fishing rod, instead of an axe), and you have to make sure the slice is straight otherwise you will lose force and might not complete the cut. I hope this makes sense.
