Actually, there is no reliable historical records to prove that Shishido Baiken even existed. He might as well be a fully fictional character from Eiji Yoshikawa's book.

@Santiago Ayala: I think that in this fight Musashi crossed his swords to encourage his enemy to try to trap them with his chain so that Musashi could disable one of his opponent's weapons and then close in to finish the fight at close quarters by any means necessary. You can tell that this was a duel because on a battlefield he would have reduced the effectiveness of the chain by staying in the restricting shelter of the tall standing bamboo or of any other standing hedges or tree trunks.

In the book, the first time he wielded dual swords was when he went John Rambo against the entire Yoshioka Clan.

Jeez, the way Baiken fought was incredible! Especially at 1:37 when Baiken was able to effortlessly parry Musashi's heavy attacks at close range. He was at the disadvantage yet still had Musashi on the back foot. It really conveys what a formidable opponent Baiken was.

In 1607, at the age of 24, Musashi had come face-to-face with the most infamous swordsman named Shishido Baiken, He’s not just practiced sword skills, but also the master of using sickle and chain called Kusurigama.

" kusarigama " is a traditional Japanese weapon that consists of a kama on a kusari-fundo - a type of metal chain (kusari) with a heavy iron weight (fundo) at the end. The "kusarigama" is said to have been developed during the Muromachi period. The art of handling the kusarigama is called kusarigamajutsu.

Each of his duels contributed to wonderful instruction in his book. Tactics are tactics, but the outcome was to make a cut to your enemy. And cut him good lol. To balance the weight of a wielded Katana is hard enough, he surpassed this by introducing his waki and using both simultaneously. I have enormous respect for this warrior swordsman. It’s great comparing philosophy between him and Tsunetomo, because he never swung his sword in hostility but still attained the heights of Samurai wisdom.

now I see who inspired the villain in samurai champloo

😂 the music when musashi took out his second blade got all serious

According the chronicles, Shishido was from Iga region and after his death, some students were triying to fight with Musashi who defeated them.

You'll read about this fight Yoshikawa:s book about Musashi, and you'll see several different versions in various movies and tv dramas. I have lived in Japan for a number of years, and have seen them all. The book is best place to read about Musashi, it tries to follow what little written history exists.

Read Eiji Yoshikawa's book 'Musashi'. It's a masterpiece.

2:00 is actually really interesting. The most effective chain and sickle weapons I've seen have the chain attached to the top of the sickle. This makes it much easier to pull as you now have a handle instead of having to one arm it and also make sure you don't poke yourself with your own sickle! If Shishido had a better kusarigama it would have the chain on top. I have to admit though that the chain coming out from the bottom looks very cool for the stance he takes. Probably the reason why they did it like that.

@Hachizukatenzo

2 жыл бұрын

I'd say both work alright. When the chain is linked into the top of the kama, you have a better lever and effect on the chain. At the bottom, you can use both kusari and kama separately much easier. It's like having a weapon in both hand. The main principle of the kusarigama is that the weight at the end of the chain is for attacking from distance and the kama to party and attack when the enemy manages to get closer. It's much easier when the kama and kusari can move independently from each other.

Well what i know is that Shishido swing some times his weapon and throw One of Musashi blades and then Musashi simply throw the second sword in Shishido Baiken,i belive in this version since i don't know if a single shuriken is capable of killing someone.The kusarigama is used as well to disarm a samurai,when he grabs the sword with the chain he pull back to disarm the samurai or get him of of balance and then kill the opponent,but Musashi kill him with the 2 sword.
