Redman A incorrect, a longsword of equal length and similar width to a katana would be quite a lot lighter due to the more defined and deeper fullers than a katana, also longswords usually have better pommels which would give it more rear-ward balance giving it more point control. If you would look at historical examples of katana and longsword, the longsword would be usually thinner. A usual katana around 35 inches would be about 430 g, while a longsword around 35 inches would whey around 380 g. I would recommend Shadiversity’s video on katana misconceptions.

Peachy Biscuits The joke went over your head proper.

What I have noticed in the course of my HEMA training in Spanish Rapier and in Arnis / Escrima is that even when you regularly spar in actual combat with protective gear, it is very challenging for practiced techniques to actually work as intended. There is simply too much resistance from the opponent and things move way too fast, usually at least 75% of the time, you have to use simplified versions of techniques and you have to train yourself to expect that your techniques will likely not work as planned ahead of time, thus you can adapt without any pause or surprise in the midst of a fight. Techniques actually working as intended are the very rare exception. This is the reality of actual combat. Without actual sparring, there is no way to develop preparedness for actual combat situations which are always chaotic and unpredictable aside from theory and a bit of muscle memory.

@scottarnold5737

6 жыл бұрын

True, however the nature of combat is that it is so chaotic that even though the ratio of their techniques working will surely increase, still the techniques working fully as intended would still be rare, for the simple fact that in real combat opponents are just moving around so much and very fast at that. Against a completely untrained opponent the techniques may work close to 100% yes, but they will most of the time work only part way as intended against another trained and disciplined opponent (which yes, may still be enough to kill him). Thus the need for being able to adapt real-time as part of the training itself when individual techniques don't fully work as drilled, this is part of the psychology of combat training, not expecting your techniques to work fully so you can adapt instantly and use the next one in the repertoire. If the wrong psychology is developed that a technique will likely work as intended as long as it is drilled enough, the trainee will be sorely disappointed when actual combat arrives. The ancients knew this well.

Additionally, parrying daggers combined with another weapon are typically better at deflecting thrusts than a buckler. As well as the fact that a few hundred years ago, it was normal for almost everyone to be carrying around a dagger of some sort for everyday life while conversely a buckler was seen as weapon of war and typically people would see someone walking around town with a buckler as someone looking to start trouble because a buckler is only used in fighting.

As someone who just got his first taste of multiple opponent sparring at my HEMA club a month ago, i can say that sparring even two people is a PAIN IN THE ASS and I can attest to some of what Musashi wrote. I had to constantly keep on my feet, moving and moving, running in and out of range trying to make sure they couldn't get a beat on me. You have to be as efficient as possible as try to disable one person as quick as possible and move immediately to the next. That video is utter nonsense that would only work if someone could stop time because the instance you move to attack one person, the next person is going to go after you. You need to be quick and not get surrounded, if you get surrounded it's game over.

Your not going to carry a full sheald such as a kite sheald around all day for protection because it would be to unwealdy and impracticle for everyday life. However a buckler is easy to carry all day (ive done it) and in midevil times people carried swords for self defense(with the exception of a few citys in Europe where the laws where strickter but most if the time people where encoraged or required by law to own and be able to use a sword.) So carrying a buckler is not that far fetched. While bucklers where still used on the battlefield they where allso used allot by civilians to so they could protect themselves in day to day life. It is the equivalent of someone carrying a tazer, pepper spray and or a knife for self defence now adays. Anyways have a good mourning, afternoon or evening my friend witchever it may be!

If better chances occur 100cm to 130cm but not closer due to personal space. A person cares about everything that happens in their personal space, which is an arms-length.

I've used metal katanas in training. While it's true that you can't go full speed, you can do in fact act fast while controled. Also, the problem with the guy is not that he was doing the techniques slowly. Is that he was doing techniques that CANNOT WORK when doing in a proper fight. For example, if instead of "parry and catching with the tsuba", he shows a real, effective deflection parry (which is the ones real masters teach, because they are the ones shown in the real school scrolls), then nobody would complain if he does it in slow motion to show off the technique better. But he did not deflect-parry. He said, with confident voice, that his technique of choice would be to stop a full speed slashing weapon with a miniature guard like a tsuba. That's stupid. Then he continues this "technique", after catching with the tsuba, by doing a awful lot of horrible footwork, passing to the left side of the attacker, then to the right side of the attacker doing a ton of small, non fluid steps, while the attacker is somewhat frozen in fear because he still does not understand why the guy went to a straight parry and catch with the tsuba. Fortunately for the "master", because he moves his katana around the other guy blade, losing control of it, so if the attacker were not frozen , he'll be able to raise his sword and kill him while he moves around like an idiot.

Holly crap, I got better moves - as a 5 y/o fighting other kids with the sticks...

I just wanted to say that you are by far the best youtuber on the net at the time. I saw many channals and many videos and the way you explain and go into (necessary) details is simply perfect. You are informing, enterntaining and above all I respect you for your logic and ability to openly admit when you don't know or aren't sure of something- and the way you resolve that problem (always giving credit where credit is due)... So, whatever anybody says, just want you to know that I, personaly, think that every and all videos/channals/hosts should look up to you and try to follow your example :)

We definitely need more rants from you!

The "instructor" in the videos actually seems stoned... Or his family were held ransom and he was forced to do it?

"scornful, presumptuous, arrogant, insolent, disdainful, ..." All these people could have used just one word to sum it up: smart. People need to stop attacking others who defend what they know to be true, calling them prideful and conceited.

"People have told me you shouldn't criticise other content creators." Then they are WRONG. You should ALWAYS feel free to criticise bad ideas. If you don't, that is how bad ideas flourish. Do NOT feel bad about this, criticising and refuting nonsense so as to defeat bad ideas, it's a good thing.

I have been complimented many times on my reflexes, yet I still find it challenging to defend against both my five year old and three year old simultaneously in a duel. They are relentless little buggers and it takes a lot of effort to keep their swords at bay. If you take this effort and apply it to two trained adults, the odds stack heavily against you.

I enjoy your debunking videos, they're funny. Especially when you bring the little animated version of yourself into the video.

sword used as a shield, doesnt remind you about anything? *cough* in a galaxy *cough* far far away *cough*

I love all those qualities about you and your debunking videos.

Loving the ranty Italian elf with diluted pizza in his veins, BTW! :-) Giving the benefit of the doubt to the video being reviewed, the "expert" does hold his hands and move his upper body like someone who knows their way around a martial art to some degree (in the bits where he engages hand to hand). But for swordism (that's the technical term), his footwork is simply all over the place! He's basically just walking around. Those are not the steps of a swordsman, in my amateur opinion. So it ends up looks like the kind of video that I would make if I tried - because... I'm no swordsman either.

Tim Birch Apparently he's from the Bujinkan...which should tell you everything you need to know... As someone who has a year of Sport Fencing, 3 years of Kendo, almost a year of HEMA now and have had many great conversations with Richard Marsden, Martin Fabian and the head of the Hokushin Ito Ryu over Facebook, along with meeting many amazing fencers from KDF and sparring with them in person ...I can tell you that your assumptions are correct. His footwork, stance, practically every aside from his grip, kinda, is wrong and this is a clear case of "Let the teacher perform a bunch of complicated techniques on non-resistive students standing still". It's sad, pathetic and there's literally a 100 other people who would be more qualified to teach swordsmanship on Howcast than this con artist.

It isnt a self-righteous political jab, its known fact that Fox news doesnt report news anymore.

Metatron, I truly enjoyed this rant. I am not an expert either, but I too have been involved in Karate as a boy, HEMA as an adult, and this guys ideas of martial arts are just a joke. My favorite part of this video is when you stated, "If it doesn't work in practice, it will not work on the battlefield." No truer words could ever been spoken about any martial art.

2:55 Unrelated but I just bought this sword. My first and I'm so excited to get it

i agree wholeheartedly with you Metatron and for a few different reason, firstly if someone claims to be a expert they should be held to the highest standards - period. secondly bullshit should be called out at every point as not doing so is dangerous, imagine people standing in harms way against a sword wielding nut job because they feel they have the correct skill set to defeat said nut job from watching videos like this? you might say ' if they are that stupid then they deserve it' but how many times have you taken other peoples advice that you regard as a expert - like a doctor for example, the point is the term 'expert' is thrown about too freely and carries huge responsibilities that people don't fully appreciate and people will take your words and videos as the final say on such matters ,they will take them as 100% correct, 100% effective and will very likely feel emboldened by the knowledge they perceive they have learned from you and should they find themselves in a life or death situation where their first action should be to get as far from the situation as possible they instead could choose to stand and fight in the false beliefe that 'expertly taught' knowledge they have learned will allow them to defeat the attacker. just my thoughts

I totally support you Metatron with what are you saying, and it's sad that other people get more attention from this kind of people that "teaches" bad and creating a bunch of people who truly thinks thats how anyone should fight, than you who try to give us knowlege well studied and prepared, so really thank you for your hard work! the only thing I wish you could co for us is recording sparring you do, just for the fun of see it ( like Skallagrim does for example)[if one day Skall, Matt, Errant, Snapjelly and you make a rant video together... woah that would be awesome] btw i'm spanish so sorry for stabbing the diccionary xDu

Everyone has a plan until they get hit.

Love this Video, Metatron san! 2 thoughts:1- where he stepped off line out of the way of the downwards cut, he was very slow and he did not position himself closer to the guy with the sword, opening himself up for a horizontal cut or diagonal upwards cut(needs to work on his maai). If one uses a tsugi ashi to get clear of a kesa or senchoku giri one has to think of what happens after the giri is dodged, so this technique works, his execution is just horrible, and the strikes he uses after the dodge is only making it worse, he should immediately try to either trap or disarm by kotegaeshi or such techniques(enter aiki-jujutsu). otherwise the opponent can quite easily step back and cut again...2- where he faced two oponents at once, the only thing he did right was to move to his first oponents ura side so that his 1st opponent is inbetween him and the 2nd opponentI'm not even going to talk about his attempted blocks...he is no expert, well neither am I...I am only 5th Kyu now...

That was the katana equivalent of the "no touch knockout," guys. Apart from the other stuff, they both fell over for no reason.

Oh my God!!! This comment deserves much more likes that it earned in these past three years!

amazing video as always. keep the good work up :D

This is my third or fourth vid of yours with the first being top 10 most effective Japanes weapons and the second being top 10 most effective Okinawan weapons. This one and the third one top ninja weapons you dont want to cross had me laughing and saying that makes a lot of sense why that is wrong. I only know a little about weapons and knew that that man would have gotten cut up if he had tried to stop that first sword then the second one. I love you already. I wish I had a way to contact you personally. I would love to learn more and some Japanese language and kanji. Tghis is day one of watching you. I am new but you got me hooked. I subscribed and clicked the bell.

Being a martial artist myself I wanted to stop your vid and check the other video first. You are right to be frustrated. I have a bunch of mean uneducated statements to make however I feel compelled to keep it civil... at least on this channel ( MWAHAHAHAHA ). Well done sir. as usual very informative and right on the mark. Spot on. Keep em commin.

well we all know of the famed battle where Musashi discovered dual wielding, batteling many more combatants down a mountain, but he was using a Kata na and a short sword(can't recall the name but it was the shorter sword in the set) but he did not use his blades as shields, it is obvious he would have parried attacks with one while reposting with the other +the mountain road(or pass can't recall the exact location) was thin and no more then one samurai could come forth. What I wanted to say is : parrying a few blows with your sword is not using it as a shield, had the guy seen a kendo fight he would have realized his moves would not stick even against the newbie who just started.

Dan NotaTroll lots of people compare the Five rings to the Art of War and then to Machiavelli's Prince, all are good strategy books. Haven't read the first two in a while though, might be re reading them soon...

I watched a good few of those videos, and they were awful. I don't have any type of martial art training but me and a friends when I was younger would sword spar all of the time, and the fact that my twelve year old self is a better swordsman than that 'master' is pretty sad.

Most weapons experience I've had is with Knives and the Howcast vid had me in tears from laughter. Keep it up with the content.

Thank you for the Italian rant I understand where you get it from. Spot on. 👍

I haven't been to Italy since 1981. FWIW you weren't Italian enough, I think ;) . Really enjoy your work. Especially your Nodachi videos. Truly impressive. I do have to ask, In Naples, Amalfi, Salerno, Venice this sailor had to 'dial it back a notch' and learn to go with the flow. How do you fare with a waiter having the 'domani' attitude? :D Seriously impressed with your work. Thanks.

Metatron, I completely agree with what you said. I watched those how cast videos last year before discovering your channel and even I had a feeling in my stomach that what he was doing didn't look right. Also, his improper teachings could make practice dangerous for those who attempt to learn from his videos!

actually in Tendo ryu Naginatajutsu tachi vs naginata kata .there is the catching the naginata blade at the tsuba technique, although it is for the purpose for the naginata side to control the blade of tachi side.

Watching that guy try to pass his "technique" off as practical reminded me of Rex Kwon Do. "Grab my arm, no, the other arm, No! Your other arm!"
