Tachi was designed like the European sabre to be used on horseback like a sickle.

@@LymmarThe early Heian to Kamakura era tachi's were heavily curved and fairly narrow but by the late Kamakura and Muromachi period (after the Mongol Invasions) the Tachi became less curved and wider and eventually this evolved into the Uchigatana/Katana (I'm really oversimplifying it but that's sort of how Tachi's developed)

yes, though the biggest reason the katana prevailed is it was mean to be carried casual near every where. Tachi is like a European dress officers sword, more regal and not something you can just slip into your day belt.

Tachi was designed like Turko-Mongol and Jurchen sabre to be used on hohorseback.

This felt like movie quality! Stunning.

I missed these straight up weapon vs weapon fights.

So, sword vs slightly longer sword. Really shows the importance of +10 reach.

Gonna be interesting to see if you guys go against the longsword guy you had on a while back with this. Both for the general viewing and his own thoughts.

This video was no perfect and pure :D I love the long exchanges

cool as always.

The lead foot of the opponent with the shorter katana is always in danger. It would be interesting to see the long-sword vs a spear.

A really skilled sword fight by two skilled swordsman

Is this a Tachi or a Nodachi or O'dachi (literally big sword)? I remember the tachi not only longer but more curved near the hilt than the katana

@bonobsidian6247

You're correct Tachi are a little bit longer than uchigatana but they're more curve and were used on horseback back in the day. A nodachi is basically the short greatsword while the Odachi was basically Big greatsword( The O meaning big) . Now with that said, in my opinion what that person is using is basically a nodachi. The reason why I said that is cause uchigatanas were around 3 shakus which basically 35 to 39 inches long (Including handle) while the nodachi or Odachiwas around 40 inches plus( since there isn't a exact length for what I looked considering that some said that they were 59 inches and above others said that they're from 40 plus) with that being said and again in my opinion I would say that can be qualified as a Nodachi

length and longer handle make it like a polearm. I guess since it was used for dismounting horsemen it makes sense.

Three section staff vs spear please

Tachi comes off better usually unless he makes an error or the exchange goes on too long. My take, wear a katana and wakazashi and let your servant carry your Tachi. If there's time by all means draw the Tachi.

Excellent sword fight

Remember that they both are katanas but the Tachi was usually used on horseback and was more durable then the uni-katana

Pulled this from a forum somewhere, but I don't have access to the source (Source: The Sword and Same by Henri Joly 1913). 1623- Tokugawa Iyetada prohibited commoners from wearing sword to avoid brawls (the tachi was called O Wakizashi at this time). 1640- Tokugawa Iyemitsu prohibited the attendants of Samurai from carrying tachi. 1670- Tokugawa Iyetsuna issued a regulation making the length of tachi 2’8”, and O Wakizashi 1’8”, and anyone carrying a longer sword was liable for punishment. 1683- Tokugawa Tsunayoshi reiterated the prohibition to common people to wear a long sword, but allowed them to carry a tanto; musicians and artists, even when of the Samurai class, were debarred from carrying a big sword. 1789- It was established that any sword exceeding 1’8” be termed Naga Wakizashi, and anyone carrying such a sword was liable to punishment. Later, the length was reduced to 1’5”.

That's why most HEMA fights have a 2-second tagback rule. No point is awarded if your opponent cuts you immediately after you cut him. Hell, even if you cut him first, some rules even stipulate that you lose the exchange if he hits you in a more lethal spot.

giving the taller person the Tachi which is already longer seems unfair lol.

I heard the definition of tachi vs. katana is actually more based on how the sword is carried. Tachi are carried blade down and katana blade up. The size probably is based on the optimal reach vs. convenience of carry between the tachi and katana.

Wait those aren't Cold Steel polypropylenes are they? Because sparring with any Cold Steel product is a VERY VERY dangerous idea. It is common knowledge in the West that that company is known for its lack of safety. Its polypropylenes are too rigid to thrust safely and too forward-weighted to cut safely or be realistic. Their steel blades are known for poor quality control and heat treatment and are known to snap when clashing against other steel blades. For your safety, I recommend you discard any Cold Steel products you may have except for their sharp cutting blades
