Although I'm a stickler to the traditional rules of Iaito and Buttodo this dance here is him having fun. There is some respectable precision to be honest and we should embrace creative fun side displays like this ti help keep the Katana arts alive. If you show a young kid a video of a Kata competition they will go too sleep...but show them this guy and they will be hyped.

why did he always hit the tsuba against the saya while performing Noto? why is there a "neko ashi dashi" at the mid of the kata?, is he "twirling towards freedom" at the mid of the kata with open arms, why? is he doing shiko dashi from shoto kan or from shito ryu? why did he hit his hakama so hard before returning to seiza?. This video is kind of confusing because at some point it shows certain degree of technique and at some points it seems like "America-Do-Te", like some comments before is this serious? is this karate? is this taekwondo? is this kobudo? is this iaido? how should i see this video?

I was appalled when I saw all that twirling. In real combat, it would be a liability. Oh well, if it's for entertainment or something other than self-defense then I guess it would be acceptable. Personally though, I wouldn't do a lot of these moves since they leave him too vulnerable to attacks. I'd say he also needs to work on his noto because it snags and it's way too noisy. I'd recommend practicing with a steel iaito since he looks like he's using an aluminum katana. The hakama he's wearing is also a liability and I hope it doesn't cause an unfortunate accident.

No....no...no......NOOOOOOOOOOO

Pretty much everything he did was wrong. These homemade katas are nice baton-twirling shows, but in combat...he'd be missing a limb within the first 3 seconds...

@@spikefunakoshi5667 Thanks for posting that "Sword Kata" video. I was at first speechless and then entertained at the silliness of it. A practitioner of kenjutsu would make mincemeat out of the dude in the video. I've seen Japanese theatrical sword fighting (Samurai Artist Kamui) and I'm impressed with their performances taken in the proper context. However, I cannot say the same for "Sword Kata".

@@alexeireyes3683 Ya, we see this kind of made up weaponry forms at open martial arts tournaments. People swinging weapons around like they probably saw in movies or anime, often done to loud music and exasperated with loud and frequent shouting. To folks actually trained in the weapon, it is a little embarrassing to watch and difficult as a judge.

The problem many people have with XMA is that it isn't martial arts in any remote sense. Outside of these competitions, XMA performances are regularly used as advertising for McDojos that endanger their students with low-quality "self-defense" techniques. XMA is another component of the McDojo marketing apparatus that is only allowed be considered martial arts by a general public that has been so thoroughly conned by that apparatus that they are convinced anybody swinging around something in a Karategi is a legitimate source of martial knowledge. They claim that these demonstrations help you train weapon control, but just watching the sword sections reveals that to be false. None of these pseudo sword practitioners here demonstrate even an attempt to maintain edge-alignments through their strikes. Maybe you know something I don't, but if you definitely can't execute a cut with a sword I don't think you have control of that weapon. People that do XMA regularly claim that their made-up techniques have roots in actual fighting, but any time they try to explain how they fall apart immediately. If the public-facing students and instructors in these counterfeit schools ( which have no linage to authentic Ryu’s in Japan) are so readily willing to propagate lies, it undercuts their legitimacy. Additionally, pushing these as martial arts is deleterious to real weapons based martial arts and other Budo disciplines. Real weapon schools are extremely hard to come by, and that has a lot to do with the public perception of weapons usage pushed by XMA , McDojo , and third rate movies/TV shows.

Plenty of criticisms already in the comments so I won't retread those. Not really a traditional or practical katana form but if you are still wanting to practice it despite knowing that, I say go for it. Only feedback I can give to your form is that you flow too much between strikes. Strikes should be explosive and the kata should feel like a series of explosions going off rather than flowing like waves.

Most of his cuts have wrong edge aligments (otherwise we could hear its sound - only a few cuts had that unique sound the blade makes). his moves are not powerfule at all. fast as this replica sword is light so he is able to move it fast thus hiding the mistakes too.

@@Bevallalom Well said! In addition to what you observed, I also noticed a snag with his nukitsuke (1:04 to 1:08). I wonder how well he would perform with tameshigiri. As mentioned in other comments, I also hope he shortens his hakama. Tripping can be disastrous especially if he decides to use a shinken. At any rate, I have to admit it provides a lot of entertainment value so I guess it's all good in the end. Even I am admittedly guilty of practicing bullshido with a shinken. Since all my shinken are tachis, I practice things like spin sheathing with the blade down. Of course, I started with my heavy steel jintachi iaito before I started using my different tachi shinkens.

From a Iaido student of six years and having trained in Japan. Fun to look at but there are no Kiai ( shouting) in Iaido. You want to hear the sword swish. It is the sign of a proper quick-draw. The main error here that many beginners make is not pulling back the saya as you pull out the sword. It is a counter movement essential in the flow and balance of the sword strike. But hey, have fun and keep practicing.

Very good training. Did you create that yourself. Or was it taught to you. I use the Katana with Shotokan Katas.

Whoallllly sheeeeeet that was precision and amazing. Awesome and fearsome. Very nice!!

SUPER. ........

what is she`s doing?

can you make a clip to teach me how to earn slowly from basic to advanced slow each movement for me and everyone to learn along with? 

Thanks. You're a force to be dealt with!

The reality is a sword and 7-inch battle use is just a tool nowadays. If one wants to use a sword or battle knife you are most certainly gonna get shot with a rifle or a pistol. A sword or battle knife can certainly kill and do damage but it's a weapon of surprise. In the surprising role, the sword and knife are secondary silent killers with firearms being primary.

Alright

problem is that's basically a gun

Kata is a formalized sequence of movements which represent various offensive and defensive postures. Kata is a series of Offense and Defensive movements with precise, “efficient body/bio- mechanics” to teach the individual how to engage in close-quarter “ hand to hand combat” with a weapon or without a weapon.

the problem none of these "xma/cma open tournament" people have never had any formal training in any authentic Budo,Bujutsu . They just make their stuff up from a fantasy based on a pale facsimile or pantomime of what they falsely believe what the weapon is meant to be in real combat situations. They have absolutely no concept or skills in self-defense- close quarter hand to hand Combat. It is just gymnastics/acrobatics , baton twirling and juggling. How very sad.
