Edge alignment proves extremely difficult with some of them, especially those with a more pronounced curvature.

Why? I'm running through youtube search trying to understand this weapon.

@@Blaisem It's mostly cause outside of certain schools it's very much a little seen weapon. Heck the most recent media depiction of a person using one is Kurama Yashamaru in the 2019 Samurai Shodown game. Since so few people even see the weapon, not a whole lot of people really know how to use it. A good example is Skallagrim who did a video on it. Yes he is more about the European martial arts and thus more familiar with a broad sword or the like than a Katana but he has done tatami cuts with a katana so he knows how to do that. The length of the handle for the Nagamaki threw him way off on how to use it, he only got one clean cut with it and had trouble replicating it.

No your underrated

@@johnyang8549 Thank you :)

When?

She must be a master of Shovel-jitsu and Snow-jitsu, two mysterious and almost forgotten martial arts.

@@Tennouseijin ww1 variant of yukikakijutsu is where it's at.

In the KZfaq search for the Nagamaki, one dude also described it as similar to the longsword nodachi but with a longer handle to help with the handling a swinging. The only "sword" where you can swap hand positions on the hilt.

Slight resemblance to the Iberian montante.

the Nagamaki is my love.

Not when handled like this..

He's trying his hardest to show every single step of the moves, ofc his footwork and how slowly he's moving the heavy weapons I presume(?) is gonna take a toll. It just gives you a glimpse of how these things would've worked back in the days. I mean I never would've thought the back curved part of the naginata can deflect and turn a sword all the way in whatever direction you wan and then stab/slash so I believe this video is decent

I agree, my heart beats for the Nagamaki.

Nagamaki is a fantastic weapon.

It is a guando. Also known as a woldo in Korea. Popular weapon among monks in China, Korea and Japan.

Ты прав, мальчики играют деревянными палочками, но главная цель - достичь Просветления, lol.

Hook swords for life! Ended up breaking my sparring buddies guan do though

I love the nagamaki as well.

helps to handle the press in battle. I don't see a shortarm for him to move too if they press.

@@chezmanbreeeds521 In european halberd practices you mostly only choke up with the front hand as increase leverage whilst not sacrificing attack range. I mean yes, the rear end is effectively a staff, but against armour it's not nearly as useful as the head. As for spears, well most uses were line battle, and being able to keep the enemy at bay whilst not being stabbed yourself is key.

Tobias Traverso These techniques are from Kuki Ryu But the absence of Yoroi could also be cause they don’t have them right now.

Bruce Wayne, да все и Кукисин, а Нагамаки хэнка на основе нагината Кукисиндэн-рю.

*Smoke* from *Free Flow Flava* Look in the discription

Of course it can

same lol

Yeah, these feel like preset encounters made to look cool. This is a far more practical display of how it should be used. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/beCRnbWk1rarloU.html

No matter what, don't get rid of your profile picture. ✊🏿

Have you ever sparred a againsta guan do?

@@aoi_hanazawa that is letter for letter exactly what I typed

@@aoi_hanazawa guan do's are meant to be a commitment weapon and real ones usually weigh upwards on 150 lbs

lol same!

Верно. Это только ката формы для отработки движений как таковых, а уже их применение зависит от качеств и уровня каждого отдельно взятого адепта.

In what sense, wrong form, bad vid?

I mean, it's effective right?

@@AltruisticKākāpō to be honest the traditional way pf using it is much more effective for example “Tendoriu” or even todays sport version “Atarashi Nahinata”

@@TzofeOJ I'm not too familiar with the naginata, what is tendoriu and atarashi nahinata?

You might realise it is a démonstration, not a fight: meaning none of what you may call opponent: aware, on guard etc. I mean, I'm cap obvious here, but nvmd

And I havn't seen a single fancy spinning. And the sloppiness has explication. Climate. I've travelled to two distinct area, so I can tell the warm up is much easier in hot countries (Japan is), and there appearently in cold one, so i wouldn't blame their lack of heat. Also, will you blame a mannuel for not being enought dynamique ? The same applies here imo

Do you ever shave your neck?

Has a chinee girl as a profile pic. Has a chinee girl name as profile name.

Okay master, show us how its done then
