Ya but he is totally cheating by holding the long sword at end of the guard, there is no way that he could make a successful cut that way unless he has ridiculous wrist development which i doubt is the case.

1) Musashi's blades were notably thin & short. Musashi was unusually tall & his blades were those commonly used by people of smaller stature. Back then, people got fitted for swords like apparel. His swords were several sizes too small, so to speak. 2) Musashi believed in a very busy lead-sword approach where being the first to initiate contact was essential. jabbing the opponent in the cheek with the tip of his lead blade was a favorite technique of his, similar to a jab in boxing. 3) Musashi was fond of using wooden weapons against live blades in duels to the death: this is crazy & downright absurd, but true. Musashi realized he could kill with a single blow no matter if he had wooden weapons or steel ones & wooden weapons were much lighter & cheaper. this guy fought the best swordsmen of his day to the death using a bokken or two & never lost. 4) Musashi was on the losing end of two wars & believed the spear to be the most effective weapon overall. there is no documentation of Musashi using a spear in a duel, nor are there any accounts of his accomplishments with a spear in combat, but he did say the spear was the ultimate combat weapon & he's the best fencer Japan produced, so...

A lot of the Nitennichiryu movements and stances look similar to the Kali forms I used to study. ...which makes sense, dual-wielding sticks/blades is a core component of Kali, so they're working from similar biomechanics. Leading with the short blade in the ready stance, also reminds me of some of the forms in fencing when using a main gauche...only we didn't have the rapier raised up in high guard like this Sensei, because the weapon function is ultimately different...piercing thrusts vs. heavy slashes... ...though the use was ultimately the same...use the shorter off-hand weapon to either respond defensively to an attack or to probe for/create an opening, then counter/exploit with the main weapon. The reverse idea, which I used a lot but my teachers frowned on a bit, was to use the main weapon to guard, and then rapidly step in with the shorter blade to "knife fighting" ranges for the point. It was less expected and at that range, there was was less time for an effective response...and when you get past a rapier's tip and step "into their guard", it's reaaaaally hard to counter if your off-hand skills aren't as developed (assuming equal loadout of rapier and main gauche/dagger/smallsword/etc). ...since I was one of the few in my fencing class to actually pick up the main gauche as my primary study and even trained single blade with my offhand (Lefties tend to have an advantage in fencing because opponents aren't used to facing them. Minority of the population et all), I was able to pull off the higher risk, higher reward, movements...having long weedy legs to enable me to close the distance quicker may have also been a factor XD Point is, Dual-wielding is fun and rewarding if you work at it, no matter the style. It's a good workout for your brain too, since you have to learn how to track and manipulate both of your hands seperately, simultaenously...especially if they are using different weapons with different functions (like mixing a stick and a knife in Kali or Knife and open-hand or an axe and dirk, etc). You'll definitely be firing off some rarely used neurons that way ;)

Yeah the ability to wield a weapon with only one hand is a big advantage because with a double grip you leave your body more open to attacks while a single grip allows you to to stand more narrowly. It's similar to boxing stance in a way. The only downside I can see with a single grip stance is you lose a lot of power so against anyone with armor you probably won't be able to break through and you are more acceptable to losing your weapon.

The concept of the Filipino Martial Arts "Arnis", "Kali", or "Eskrima" is very much like the double blade of Musashi. As explained by Doug Marcaida, a Filipino Martial Arts expert now based in the US training the US Marines there and also was featured many times in the History Channel especially in their segment "Forged by Fire": The two blades are used both as an offense and defense. When one of the blade is used to parry, the other one will be used to strike the enemy defenseless as both of his hands is holding a sword. Both blades can also be used as offense adding to the blow or as defense. On the other hand, the difference in Musashi's style is the use of one long sword and one short sword while in Arnis, both are used with the same length. But the principle of offense, defense, and counter attack is almost the same.

Honestly as a practitioner of japanese swordsmanship I find the idea of fighting someone using dual blades in an duel as a little intimidating and exciting, they not only have a long reaching blade which can extend it's range farther then a two handed single sword can but a short quick blade for when they close in and they can simultaneously attack and defend or defend and counter attack so easily. And what they lack in the raw power they make up in having an extra blade you need to watch out for and more speed and reach. It'd be a good challenge, nice video.

With the right mindset you will defeat such an opponent. Right now you are only thinking about what your opponent can do when you need to be planning what you are doing about it. They have a long blade? Strike it out of the way and step inside its reach. They have a short blade that's too fast for you? Circle towards the longer blade so the shorter blade is behind it and can't hope to reach you. Get yourself a chessboard and play a hundred games.

In the last years of his life, he even fought without any sword, using an oar on one occasion to batter his opponent and using a long blade of grass another time, touching his opponent with it enough times to convince him that, if Musashi had had a sword, he would be in pieces by now.

Awesome video! What match was the highlight from at the 55 seconds mark? They were very fast!

A curious fact is that Musashi Miyamoto based his double sword style on the famous Spanish Tercios and on his art with the Rapier Sword called Verdadera Destreza, due to the cultural exchange between the Spanish and the Portuguese with the Japanese people, so our ties have been very close since centuries ago!

Another good video. Niten Ichi Ryu is an amazing style & really worth studying. I saw an instructor over a decade ago in the Nishi Ward, Osaka Japan. He was training with 2 Wakizashi & still had his katana on his side. So I asked him why do you train with 2 short swords in both hands & not use your main sword like Niten Ichi Ryu. He responded with if I lose one or both I can always pull my main weapon so that's why I don't train in the traditional way.
