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
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.....
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.
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. :)
+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
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
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.
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.
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.
"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.
Double bladed... WTF? Soooo... not a full tang, a weak spot-welded piece of crap with at best a partially seated tang guaranteed to break under duress. Why?
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.
@@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.
