Paper cutting is mostly to test edge alignment, and in this test, the difference is negligible at most. I'll do some more tests with thicker targets like tatami to see if anything else comes up, but so far these weapons feel very similar in their usage.

Sabers and straight swords require fundamentally different techniques for cutting and thrusting because of physics and geometry. In this example both are equal due to the physics and geometry of the target, which is for all intents and purposes 2 dimensional. The type of combat as well as the location also showcase superiority variations between weapons and encourage alternate though similar biomechanics.

​@graybonesau I imagine it's because of the difference in the weight and shape of the sword. Long sword is straight blade, making its weight almost equal all section. So, moving the longsword while your hip is engaged in motion makes its strike easier to do. Katana, on the other hand, is curved. Meaning in normal stance, most weight act around the handle. So, by planting your foot before cutting, your body has maximum flexibility and motion to allow the katana to fully maximise its cut while you're on the ground

But sword first than foot in hema is just because of distance management. You want to extent your arms to hit and make as little step as possible, because hands are faster than moving of whole body and you want to be protected behind your sword when the hit lands.

This reminds of a passage in the Book of 5 Rings: There are only so many ways to cut someone and a child picking up a knife for the 1st time instinctively knows most of them. It then goes on to talk about how while doing the cuts correctly requires training and focus what the focus of his teaching will be instead how to get to the cut and not the act of cutting.

It has better hand protection only from one angle. From the other angle ( flat side) it has no protection at all. If you are too late to twist when your hands are attacked, you lose your hand. With a Katana it depends on the size of the Tsuba. What the Longsword is clearly better at is deflection with its guard. It is a superior defensive tool, since you can use your guard to deflect then immediate thrust. The blade is straight ( ideal for thrusting), usually longer than the typical katana blade and double edged .

It's so cool that the paper just rolls up when it's cut properly

Katana is better. The longsword's charge attack is good & all, but leaves you vulnerable in the approach. Meanwhile, the Katana's 50% health restore on-kill attribute, paired with its overheal capacity gives you sustain that you just don't get with the longsword, even with c-tap. I will relent, that if you have a pocket medic, then longsword is better in that scenario, because the reliable healing is then already taken care of.

But I've been wondering, do you have plans on Creating vids about basic introduction to hema, basic skills to learn, such as movements, strike, pose and other basics you can teach online? I believe that others might be interested on this content as well, a balance of memes and online basic lessons.

Ok, so I think there's an important distinction being missed here. You can use HEMA and treat the Katana like a two handed falchion. That is effective, surely, but not specialized to this weapon. Kendo, Kenjitsu, Iaido and Iaijutsu are the martial arts traditions that have developed for over 600 years with a single weapon in mind. Yes, you can use your general purpose swordsmanship to be very competent in use of the katana. I would wager that you may struggle to accomplish certain advanced techniques within, say, Kendo, without taking another look at your basics. HEMA uses an entirely different set of philosophies to accomplish a different set of tasks. Also, speaking of spacing, hema tends to use a more forward stance that makes it easier (at least for a kendoka) to see your effective range at a glance. Kendos tight upright stance hides your arm length and allows for a quicker extension which is valuable for splitting wooden helmets and for deceiving your opponent into getting too close.

Both have advantages and disadvantages. It's just different because of cultural differences.

Oh no, he said the truth at the very end. Time for the raging Internet Haters and Toxic Weebs to attack him! Anyways, I love both of these swords a lot.

The question assumes equal skill though. And it won't be exactly 50/50.

I don't know why there would be. The only real alteration is that there's more weight in the back of the katana which means less forward force, so you're able to better "slide" the sharp side down through the cut. But it's still a wedge. The longsword requires slightly more forward energy as you pull the sharp along the cut...but it's still a wedge. You can commit to the end of the cut on the katana just because of the slight curve making it more optimized for that slash instead of poke...but it's still a wedge. And while the longsword is more optimized for thrust instead of cut, it still has a tapering tip. It's a difference of half degree angles and minimal newtons across the distance of the cut at different points in the process.

@@SellswordArts I mean that longsword looks awfully larger than that katana which I don't know the standard sizes for these swords. But comparing the two you have I'd have to give the edge (pun intended) to the larger weapon. (I know there are larger variants of the katana but I don't know if there are other katanas that are the same size of that longsword) Also... Long sword stabs way better.

Try a dagger from the medieval, dark ages, blade and sorcery

Besides a different sweet spot they do have different performance depending on the target. The European longsword tends to be more challenging in edge allignment and impacts can cause the blade to bend temporarily. The Katana is much stiffer, but also thicker which makes it harder to displace the material.

This is something I've been saying for almost 2 decades. My background is in Koryu Battou Jutsu for even longer, but from reading an early-ish transcripts of Talhoffer you can see the biomechanics are fundamentally identical. Funnie thang is, some neckbeards I met in the early '00s were (predictably) thoroughly triggered and dismissive, claiming Japanese & WMA (what was early HEMA) to be completely different. Who's right now?😅

I mean, both of them use a blade to cut so it kinda makes sense.

It has been my experience in over 50 years of study in the art of blades that in the right hands, any blade can be effective. A person's particular style determines the type of blades that work best for them. I, for instance, like a curved blade. It fits my circular style. Was given a tip heavy broadsword. Cut 11 inches off the front, 11/2 off the grip to clean up some broken aluminum. Now it's a perfectly (?) balanced, easy to maneuver left hand short sword! Works well with my wakasashi.

Nope. The long sword has greater reach, is double bladed, and has better piercing potential. The long sword is much better verse armoured opponents. These are big differences. You can do reverse cuts with a longsword, a katana cannot. No one should choose a katana if they have a longsword to choose from.

actually there video about cutting a literal tree with various sword, from longsword, axe, claymore & katana.. etc. It proof katana cut tree better than all of them.

Me, having no intention of having a swordfight:

The difference is very simple, one is single edged, curve, and the center of balance is slightly closer to the hand on a Katana, the western style is double edged, straight, and the center of balance is slightly more forward one is the best in it’s field at slashing and cutting the other is balanced for thrusting and cutting equally

I can't find the video, but someone did a test to demonstrate what makes a katana different. He essentially just dropped the katana and let gravity take the blade into a piece of cardboard on the floor, and it cut perfectly. The longsword couldn't do that. The impression I got is that with a katana, you largely just need to guide it and let it do the cutting, because the balance and aerodynamics of the blade will do the cutting for you. The video made reference to the "spirit" of the katana.

I prefer the longsword due to its better capabilities in the thrust

Add pommel to Katana, the pommel is not just a knob preventing the hand sliding off. Use it in the right combiNATION and it can cut/trust and then hammer, then cut/thrust🙏🔮 Inspiration to Music🗡 " Bloodrayne 2 Soundtrack " 🗡

You made big progress on good edge alignment with katana since you tried it first time Good job

The main differences are the weight, guard and edges

But which one scares your energy more?

Heftig er is richtig gut geworden mit dem edge-allignment 😁💪👍

The way u cut the paper was oddly satisfying

Katana is top-heavy, so it is handled with two hands.That is why China, Mongolia, Korea, and Southeast Asia imported katana from Japan after the 10th century.

This just makes me kinda bummed that Kendo isn't structured like HEMA and instead mostly turns into a tip touching match with some crazy shit in between.

The test of a good Knight was if he could cleve his adversary from the shoulder to the pelvic girdle in one strike. You can read about Richard the Lionheart removing a head and arm with one strike.

Compared to guns, the Katana is a Colt Navy Revolver while the Longsword a M1911. Colt Navies are cool to fanfire, but they require safety and trigger discipline(which takes alot of time) The M1911 on the other hand, was more versatile and good at it's job, but sadly slowly getting replaced by more modern alternatives(Sabres are Glocks... somehow).

poke and slash vs slash and dash

I find it weird that people emphasise the cutting ability of the katana, when it already has other, more distinct advantages. Eg how the minimal guard / pommel keeps it handy to draw at a moment's notice.

To be fair, as you yourself pointed out recently, a curved weapon has certain advantages in terms of cuts it allows vs a straight blade. But in terms of pure cutting ability....yeah, sharp thing is sharp. Checks out.

I dont practice cutting but i do have a curved stick and it feels easier to swing than my regular sticks.

Keep in mind, I'm no expert swordsman or anyone who has taken up combat aside from the occasional broken broom handle fights with my brother, but in my mind all humans have a basic range of movement that is similar, no? So naturally, in my mind, a long sword and a katana would be designed for the average human range of motion, which, when compared side by side, would be about the same, considering the average height and weight of the region either tool originated in. Idk though, just to reiterate. Just a Layman's observation

"Katana and longword are very similar. Proof? The Bayeux Tapestry." "Uhh, there are no katanas on the Bayeux Tapestry." "No, I mean I cut the Bayeux Tapestry with both and they handled very similarly."

I need to get my hands on one of those infinite paper rolls

A lot of how I swing either blade is the same so I often find myself overlapping techniques between them and even mixing in some greatsword techniques as well

I'm curious to see how well they handle hitting each other

This is anecdotal, but I've heard some HEMA guys say that switching to katana can mess up their guard techniques, because the curve of the blade causes their opponents attacks to deflect differently- never tried myself though.

They’re cutting our kind of identical, but the katana you can do many different movements when in a physical fight

The killing part is the same way but the order to kill is different

All those myths about the katana's curve giving it magical edge alignment properties aside; the only difference would be how their curve might make draw cuts easier. They aren't as good as other weapons in that aspect, but I'd assume the curve does help when the sword is stationary against a fleshy or leathery target, which weirdly is never demonstrated by people when showcasing their art.

It may be surprising, but the katana is bent for a reason. For those who are not aware, I say: the katana must be wielded using not only the body but also the weight of the sword itself. The curved blade of the katana will always fall with the tip and this will be an additional impact force

I think the katana has the advantage in draw speed. The cutting action - maybe not so much given the same materials. So it’s probably good as a sidearm for surprise attacks and long sword as main weapon 😅

that's something that someone would say if their only experience with a sword is in video games.

the difference between them is the katanas curved sword makes it a better cutter and its smaller body makes it more agile but the longsword is the better stabber and parryer.

1 different is that you can do a thumb gaurd with 1 but not with and preactical purpose with the other

Selecting your starter class be like…

Man i love your outfit, i want some of that for my colection

I can‘t help but admire that braid of yours, i myself have fairly long hair for a dude, but am struggling with keeping it in a confined shape, do you have any tipps/advice you could give

Katana is so much lighter gives you speed and stealth and faster counters advantage. The longsword was designed for attacking while still mounted atop a horse so it was longer for greater reach in which to pierce your enemies hole remaining on the horse. However once dismounted and on the ground the longsword is no match for the katana. As the longsword is slow and unyielding. Katana wielder just have to deflect the longsword and then stab or slice before the longsword wielder has a chance to counter.

I imagine some ranging differences and the longsword has a very slight advantage for range and the fact that it's double edged.

I believe long swords have more versatility. Long sword= spork Katana= fork

This is just my opinion: I think katana is mainly for slashing and the sword can be thrust, slash, and blunt weapon.

Wife: honey... where's all the gift wrapper? Husband:.... Wife: gad damn it! Again?

imagine if we combined the cross-guard of the longsword with the blade of the katana. I present to you, the long-tana

​@@blackviking9381 that's what I was thinking, I also reinvented the naginata using that logic

Isn't that just a heavier scimitar?

Sounds like a thinner Kriegsmesser
