You shall be saved. Be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! - Jesus the Christ loves you, praise YHWH our Elohim - Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it): The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote: “Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…” In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative. Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians: “They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.” This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man. You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes: “About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.” Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.
That is the abc my man. The ideal strategy is put them in line so that you face the 1 at the time. Confined space offer protection only if you are holding the retreat path behind you, so that you can flee without getting trapped.
It's the opposite stop moving n chase your sword as you set it free. If your always running you grow tired n make countless mistakes to list if any moving occurs bend those knees
When fighting against multiple opponent they have to be menaçi ng at the same time, often it's just a succession of 1 v 1 if they do not coordinate properly which isn't as easy as it looks. Try it you'll see ;) As we can see he wins easely when they are not ganging up on him and leaving him space, gotta hit at the same time as your allies.
The difference between kendo and kenjutsu style is clear as day. Nitenichi was not designed with the rules of Kendo in mind and it shows. The nito user did wonderfully against the full group, waiting and countering whoever moved in first. It seems that they all lost to the same patter of block above and slash in the middle which is interesting, maybe the group experience was so overwhelmingly different it was harder to adapt. The sensei also took advantage of the one weakness the nito user had, which were thrusts. All in all excellent video, keep it up!
I noticed that since they were tightly grouped, it's difficult to throw an attack that isn't a thrust or an attack from above without hitting your allies. If the space was different, maybe they could have surrounded the nito user instead
Три одновременных удара в разные уровни двумя руками не остановить. Движение? Что мешает троим держать строй, прижать к стене, блокировать попытки уйти и атаковать одиночного бойца сразу, как только рыпнется на кого-то из троих?
It is very impressive, but Kendo will get you killed in an actual sword fight, they all pretty much used the same overhead strikes while charging at him which is suicide, Kendo is just not a good sword fighting style
The sabre and shield weilding mongols gave the samurai a very hard time until the tsunami took out the mongol fleet. It happened twice. In Japanese tsunami means divine wind because it saved Japan from mongol invasion... twice.
Hundreds of years later and his approach still works like a charm. Thank you for doing this video! I read this saying of Musashi in his book years ago, and it stays with me always: "Rigidity is the way of death, fluidity is the way of life."
amazing how every goat emphasized that Bruce Lee - be water Muhammad Ali - float like a bee, sting like a butterfly Musashi - you said it Edit: ofc, that ali one is a joke
Some people ask why they don't attack at the same time, but it's not as easy as I thought. Even if we discuss it in advance, it doesn't work as we discussed because the other person keeps moving. You can't attack at the same time and you can't attack from all sides at the same time. Even if there are three people, they are often less than their original skills. That is, it is not 1+1+1=3. It is possible only when several people are trained to attack together for a long time. It is not easy to improvise.
This isn't really true. There are plenty of HEMA videos for example which demonstrate that multiple opponents can attack the same time, with devastating results. It requires no special technique when it is many vs 1.
@@golength ? The way you can effectively combat a group is with range. So with a spear, or a firearm. A sword is not a battle weapon, it's a self defence weapon.
Told a friend I was a big fan of Musashi because of his amazing skills. He reminded me that he is also a fucking murderer. And he is right. It's good to keep that in mind.
@@elsephiroth666 You talking about how he killed a dude at the age of 13 brutally? Or that he was pretty ruthless and sought out men to kill, simply to test his skill in battle? Killing to improve his reputation and status in life? Yeah, I'm aware of that. Though at least he had a epiphany about how awful he had been, near his final duel.
@@elsephiroth666 please correct me if i'm wrong, but he only killed other swordsmen in battles where if he didn't kill them he would die. We have to understand that this was a different time and whoever chose this path had to be prepared for the worst. Obviously killing is wrong but as far as I know he has never killed an innocent so yes I still look up to him as @LEGENDARY BIG BOSS
@@agnusleal8004 Starting a fight to end up at kill or be kill is still not a good philosophy. He could fight with sticks and end up without killing everyone he met. Also, Killing the master of a dojo, even in a specific duel made him kill the entire dojo (because they sought to end him, yes). Between 60 and 200 dudes for the price of 1. On the other end: 1v~130 is an amazing feet especially with only close combat.
In the live action Rurouni Kenshin movie, there was a slight of realism in the movie, which was the fact that Himura never stopped moving when he was facing a group of enemies. He was always in perpetual motion, he kept running, dodging and moving.
In the book of five rings Musashi talked about the importance of always moving and using the environment. The problem with simulating real combat in a dojo is the lack of environmental variables
@@samuelbishop1701 Arrogance destroys the foothold of victory. Yes, Musashi's technique is better utilized with more than one opponent present, but where does not matter much less if it's against only a single person--anywhere and anyone can be/become dangerous in a matter of moments, which is perfect for this style that is based on reacting to control the situation.
@@samuelbishop1701 yeah but go see it in movements Its interesting to analyze in real time. Cause you can see real factors and attacks that could happen. He must have been training like an Olympic athlete and he must of lived by the sword. It also accounts during that time that fighting was normal and it was everywhere. I’m sure there were other factors, maybe he was very gifted, maybe his teachers were very good. He probably also was very smart in the way he fought. He had to have very good footwork and good timing. He had to be a freak of nature to be able survive that era.
The reason they can't all attack at the same time is that he kept moving. Part of martial training is to be disciplined with your weapon, like with guns you are trained to handle your weapon safely. Having their teammates be in their line of strike causes their weapon discipline to trigger. Since he moves a lot, their formation constanly changes and they end up having their own teammates in their strike range. Their coach for example knew that they can easily overwhelm him, but he himself froze in position when his students got within his striking radius.
When Sensei stepped in because he couldn't stand to miss out on the experience... That's what I miss about martial arts. Just being a student again and experiencing an exchange of techniques and seeing what works and what doesn't without ego...😭👍
This eloquently expresses the extreme limitations of kendo. Similar to Olympic fencing, it's extremely powerful at one thing, but has considerably exploitable weaknesses. Very cool video. I wanna try this, too!
Thats really cool that you can do choreographed moves against foes who all do the exact same move and leave themselves wide open immediately. Nice dance
I feel this is a very good practical show of some of the most basic lessons both on fights and war. If you notice the start of most fights, the dual user lures the three to a corner. While this can be seen as nowhere to run, it also means less space, forcing the 3-man to not go together. Also, the sensei fight was the minimal definition of a commander, without it the group fought each one by themselves, but once added the attack of one was follow by the next one.
you cannot really swing in kendo, you mostly do vertical strikes and stabs, he was protecting himself from high attacks, they waited for the opportune moment. Note that at the end when the sensei was alone he landed a strike by stabbing because the lone guy was focused protecting himself from an overhead strike
That was wonderful footwork. You kept running in between them too keep the fight 1v1 👍. Plus it looks like you guys had alot of fun too, thats the most important thing. Very entertaining ❤️
The first thing I noticed was the individual attackers were only throwing one move, then accepting the block/counter. Never throw only one shot. Same for the group tactic. Don't watch while your buddy dies, there should always be coordinated movement.
Very interesting. We used similar movement in Aikido during multiple randori. Move to isolate one attacker at a time and enter their attack space (Irimi) to throw off their timing. We used Uke Nagashi deflections too! Sensei always says: “All Aikido is SWORD!”
I don't know the rules of kendo, so maybe that would have something to do with it, but I feel like the group would have done better if they didn't go for the overhead attacks so much. Almost every kill with the katana was the same. Not saying it's not super impressive, he was very fast, I just feel like the strategy is obvious, as was shown with that thrust at the end.
Because they are evaluating how to strike, how to faint, where to move, also avoiding "friendly fire". Nobody is gonna charge brainlessly without any regard for their own life.
I don't see why not. Mushashi, as suggests, was at least named after Miyamoto Mushashi who himself was a great duelist in the Edo period of Japan. However prior to his fame as a legendary duelist and killer of kenjutsu and kendo masters, he himself had faced multiple battles on the large scale during the Sengoku Jidai period where was was stated to have served under Toyotomi Hideyoshi and upon Hideyoshi's death, his family against Tokugawa Iaeyasu thus he does have combat experience to boot.
Musashi was an undefeated duelist who had been fighting since he was a young boy. He was already a demon when he set foot on the battlefield and long before becoming recognized as a kensei
Not really. His only battle before becoming a famous duelist was Sekigahara when he was 16. He began serving Tokugawas at the age of 29-30, which leaves a 14 years long gap where most of his duels happened.
And instead of surrounding and boxing him in like they did at the start, they kept their distance from each other. And they only really struck from above, making it easy for the solo swordsman to predict and difficult to block the solo swordsman's low blows. I feel like this was just a restriction on fighting styles. If this were a street fight, there's no way that one guy would survive any encounter against 3 enemies in such circumstances. But while they all have to keep their fighting styles, this dude could run circles around them and use their restrictions against them.
All I can say here is that this was a very well done demonstration. Especially when sensei went in to lend a hand on the side of the inexperienced kendokas. IMO, if there was another experienced kendo user, the dual sword style will have even less leeway to fight. Also, on the 1st strike the Kendokas used, whatever the starting attack of the 1st attacker uses, the 2nd attacker should probably always follow up with a different attack. When sensei wasn't part of the attacking side, everyone used overhead strikes. Only when sensei joined did anyone even do a thrust attack.
From my observation, its seems like the biggest issue is that the kendo guys mostly strike from the top to bottom, which predicted can be blocked and slashed by the niten ryu style of 2 swords. Dual wielding is supper cool !
i think a good way to create fighting scenes on film would to take film sequences like this and then just modify them slightly, or use certain camera angles to make it seem real. it would make fight scenes on film look so much more interesting than the usual coreography.
Musashi : so nobody actually dies in your time when practice those sword arts . Them : no master , we takes it as an art , culture or a sport , we practice it as an honour to the warriors like you who lived and paved the way to those pieces of art you left behind . I wonder what will be his reaction .
Musashi also reportedly used psychology (like showing up late to a fight and from a direction they weren't expecting, using a carved oar instead of a sword in his most famous duel) and the environment (forcing multiple opponents to use difficult terrain, fighting with the sun at his back so it was in their eyes).
opponents almost always hit high on the head! it's easy to block with the first katana and counterattack with the other! if the opponents vary the blows (lateral blows) and simulate attacks without finishing them in order to change the trajectory etc, then it will be difficult to defeat 3 opponents...
Hello, I studied The Book of Five Rings as it instructed for three months. This is a cool film but the whole range of Actually Permissable motion is not allowed and we all ignore that here so it's just cool. ⚔️🙇🏼♀️ Mortal Kombat 9, especially its Scorpion was Easily Built To Inspire. On round two here, I believe I see a set up just past the initiative for a nasty execution, cheers there. Wont elaborate. 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏼 The, Resolution, is a very powerful tool. There are many many openings at all times we could say.
Not bad and pretty cool ..I also love watching Battousai ... I'm sure after a while if the sword was not made of great quality continuous blocking would lead to multiple chips that turn to cracks to finally break the sword.
Poor quality swords shatter, this is true! I recently spent roughly 2 years training with a pair of carbon steel iaito that lasted serious stress testing between my sensei and I, blocking and parrying being utilized all the while. Both survived with good maintenance and are quite toothy along the blade now 😁
Done this many many times. Defender has to keep circling towards the most aggressive person, and keep that person in front of them. Circle, circle, circle. Wait for your opening. The attackers need to countercircle, and stay close together. use cautious but constant aggression against multiple angles and levels. defenders should never split up, as this allows the attacker a moment of one on one.
I see the problem of practicing group classes. All three are hitting from top to bottom. Although a person standing on the side should strike a diagonal blow from below. If he is standing on the left, then the blow should go from the bottom to the top from the left. Syncing with a friend in the center is no problem.
It is worth pointing out that Musashi himself largely used 2 full length Katana, not the combination of long and short blade (Wakizashi). This is more dangerous because it adds the additional reach with both hands instead of the short blade being the only one to be used for blocking and deflection.
You cannot use the same movement after fight against enemy 1, change the target to axila, foot, knees, throat to try avoid create patterns that you enemies can read.
Line them up and never stop moving. This is a fact no matter what style you’re using. The second guy can’t attack you if he’s behind the first. Stay in motion, be aggressive, and dispatch them as fast as you can. You’re going to exhaust first no matter what, so end the fight before your tank empties
Looking at the video, their problem is that their not used to working as a team. You can see the guy standing to the side / back of the fighter as he is attaching and just watching. They should be attaching him from the side / back while he is fighting the person in front. Or maybe they are just too slow
It shows why Musashi did this. It broke the norm, that folks were so used to using. Psychologically people put less effort when working in a group compared to by themselves.
Vaya este video hizo que despertara mi alma de espadachín y el dia yo fui fans de los espadachin y por supuesto Rouronin Keshin es sin duda la mejor de samurais y mi favorita por siempre.....cuando era adolescentes ansiaba aprender ese artes marcial kendo, pero no como habia una en mi pais.. pues me rendi y opte or entrenar artes marciales de cuerpo a cuerpo primero fue karate ( abandonado ) luego fue Muay Thai y BJJ ( activo por siempre ) aun asi, jamas eh olvidado mi amor por aprender kendo por lo menos una vez...🥰

I would probably look into switching hands. Use the katana in the left to block while closing the distance, then go for a wakizashi in the dominant hand. This would possibly make the counters faster and more precise an maybe harder to see for the opponents.
With kendo rules it is very difficult to score ippon with the shoto, which I suspect is meant to balance the matches. Thus this kendo derived nito style likewise uses the shoto almost exclusively defensively.
I'm not a sword fighter but I was presented with this video on UA-cam "which I liked a lot" and want to say what I saw. 2sword style it's for an very aggressive approach, for me, the 2sword fencer lacks aggressiveness and he let their opponents corner him, you take the initiative and you kill from one side to the other never go for the center and never let the center face you, every time he did this, he won.
Very exciting! So if I can understand right kenjutsu rules allow more abilities then kendo rules in using sword or Musashi style. One thing of course is interesting: duel 1 VS 1 was absolut victory in kenjitsu rules. Control was great! Interesting, very interesting experiment!
With the Musashi style you actually use the short one to attack and the long one to block. This way your attacks are much faster and you have a wider surface to block but you lose on reach.
Adapting to circumstance is what makes the style shine--being able to switch between which hand does what with an understanding of why and when will make the user far more formidable. “Fixation is the way to death. Fluidity is the way to life.”
@@Axel5550 hmm, never thought about that actually, the flexibility you can do to switch up and confuse the enemy with which sword you use if you want a quick attack or a heavy one
@@J4N170R i think main reason it's switched here is it's a lot harder to get in enemy range w the short since kendo stances and jabs have such far reach compared to a slices
We used this wakizashi, but it's dangerous without protective gear🔪🔪🔪🔪

I read this saying of Musashi in his book years ago, and it stays with me always:
"Rigidity is the way of death, fluidity is the way of life."
amazing how every goat emphasized that
Bruce Lee - be water
Muhammad Ali - float like a bee, sting like a butterfly
Musashi - you said it
Edit: ofc, that ali one is a joke
which book did you read?

what book is this?
Was it the Five Rings or the Path of a Loner?

@@GenGeorgeWashington not about taking prisoners.
Yeah, the key is to always keep moving, and put the opponents in line so that they cannot attack you all at the same time.
Some people ask why they don't attack at the same time, but it's not as easy as I thought.
Even if we discuss it in advance, it doesn't work as we discussed because the other person keeps moving.
You can't attack at the same time and you can't attack from all sides at the same time.
Even if there are three people, they are often less than their original skills. That is, it is not 1+1+1=3.
It is possible only when several people are trained to attack together for a long time. It is not easy to improvise.
It would be more interesting seeing 3x kenjutsu practicioners vs 1 practicioner using nitō ichi-ryū with 2x weapons
@@lrvz7187 Where do you think they are going to get four kenjutsu practicioners?
This is how you get kicked out of a koryu (hamon 破門).
This isn't really true.
There are plenty of HEMA videos for example which demonstrate that multiple opponents can attack the same time, with devastating results. It requires no special technique when it is many vs 1.

The way you can effectively combat a group is with range. So with a spear, or a firearm.
A sword is not a battle weapon, it's a self defence weapon.
Miyamoto Musashi is my favorite historical figure. It's cool to see how his style of fighting with two swords, would look like.
Told a friend I was a big fan of Musashi because of his amazing skills. He reminded me that he is also a fucking murderer. And he is right. It's good to keep that in mind.
@@elsephiroth666 You talking about how he killed a dude at the age of 13 brutally? Or that he was pretty ruthless and sought out men to kill, simply to test his skill in battle? Killing to improve his reputation and status in life?
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Though at least he had a epiphany about how awful he had been, near his final duel.
@@elsephiroth666 please correct me if i'm wrong, but he only killed other swordsmen in battles where if he didn't kill them he would die. We have to understand that this was a different time and whoever chose this path had to be prepared for the worst. Obviously killing is wrong but as far as I know he has never killed an innocent so yes I still look up to him as @LEGENDARY BIG BOSS
Me too
@@agnusleal8004 Starting a fight to end up at kill or be kill is still not a good philosophy. He could fight with sticks and end up without killing everyone he met. Also, Killing the master of a dojo, even in a specific duel made him kill the entire dojo (because they sought to end him, yes). Between 60 and 200 dudes for the price of 1.
On the other end: 1v~130 is an amazing feet especially with only close combat.
In the live action Rurouni Kenshin movie, there was a slight of realism in the movie, which was the fact that Himura never stopped moving when he was facing a group of enemies. He was always in perpetual motion, he kept running, dodging and moving.
In the book of five rings Musashi talked about the importance of always moving and using the environment. The problem with simulating real combat in a dojo is the lack of environmental variables
It is the nature of that environment.
@@Axel5550 That's true, but Musashi developed it for actual combat in aifuauojs that would actually be dangerous. Not for empty dojos
@@samuelbishop1701 Arrogance destroys the foothold of victory. Yes, Musashi's technique is better utilized with more than one opponent present, but where does not matter much less if it's against only a single person--anywhere and anyone can be/become dangerous in a matter of moments, which is perfect for this style that is based on reacting to control the situation.
@@samuelbishop1701 yeah but go see it in movements Its interesting to analyze in real time. Cause you can see real factors and attacks that could happen. He must have been training like an Olympic athlete and he must of lived by the sword. It also accounts during that time that fighting was normal and it was everywhere.
I’m sure there were other factors, maybe he was very gifted, maybe his teachers were very good. He probably also was very smart in the way he fought. He had to have very good footwork and good timing. He had to be a freak of nature to be able survive that era.
The reason they can't all attack at the same time is that he kept moving. Part of martial training is to be disciplined with your weapon, like with guns you are trained to handle your weapon safely. Having their teammates be in their line of strike causes their weapon discipline to trigger. Since he moves a lot, their formation constanly changes and they end up having their own teammates in their strike range. Their coach for example knew that they can easily overwhelm him, but he himself froze in position when his students got within his striking radius.
& it’s choreographed… don’t forget that..
@@johnathanl487 cope harder, explain how it was choreographed
@@johnathanl487it’s a sparring match what at choreographed?

Beautiful demo of the dual sword, I can see how a proficient master could go undefeated as the legend says.
Yeah
When Sensei stepped in because he couldn't stand to miss out on the experience... That's what I miss about martial arts. Just being a student again and experiencing an exchange of techniques and seeing what works and what doesn't without ego...😭👍
I highly recommend Musashi's "book of five rings",its like the martial arts bible. :D
Reading his writing style, I get the feeling he was ADHD, and I wonder if fighting helped him focus
This eloquently expresses the extreme limitations of kendo. Similar to Olympic fencing, it's extremely powerful at one thing, but has considerably exploitable weaknesses.
Very cool video. I wanna try this, too!
Kendo has just one hit to the head and that’s it. They don’t know anything else.
@@UltimateTruthChannel have you ever done kendo?
Thats really cool that you can do choreographed moves against foes who all do the exact same move and leave themselves wide open immediately. Nice dance
This is so crazy love these "musashi" videos
Whether in fencing or Kenjutsu or Kendo, it’s always a pleasure watching the adaptability of a master at work
Your videos are always informative and highly enlightening. As a fan/follower/devotee of Musashi, all I can say after watching this is BEAUTIFUL!
Dude makes it look so easy! I loved this video. Everybody did an amazing job.
Wow! Soo cool to see this! I like the different styles coming together for training and fun! Even the Sensi had to jump in!
I feel this is a very good practical show of some of the most basic lessons both on fights and war. If you notice the start of most fights, the dual user lures the three to a corner. While this can be seen as nowhere to run, it also means less space, forcing the 3-man to not go together. Also, the sensei fight was the minimal definition of a commander, without it the group fought each one by themselves, but once added the attack of one was follow by the next one.
After reading his book, he really was a genius in so many ways.
Best video EVER ....thank you very much AMAZING!!!!
I like this new format with the strategizing and breakdown.
Great channel. I enjoy the variety of weapons and scenarios. Would love to see some kobudo weapons like Sai and Tonfa tested against sword techniques
Wow! That was amazing! The single swordsman was really good! I wonder what kept the three from trying to attack together.
The kendo target areas severly limit any meaningful angles of attack.
you cannot really swing in kendo, you mostly do vertical strikes and stabs, he was protecting himself from high attacks, they waited for the opportune moment.
Note that at the end when the sensei was alone he landed a strike by stabbing because the lone guy was focused protecting himself from an overhead strike
@@Ianmar1 so they commit suicide by throwing themselves on their opponents swords because dogma.
@@garethkalum8297 No, the team of 3 are restricted to kendo target areas in this game.
That was wonderful footwork. You kept running in between them too keep the fight 1v1 👍. Plus it looks like you guys had alot of fun too, thats the most important thing. Very entertaining ❤️
The first thing I noticed was the individual attackers were only throwing one move, then accepting the block/counter. Never throw only one shot.
Same for the group tactic. Don't watch while your buddy dies, there should always be coordinated movement.
A moment of appreciation for the camera work. Surely helps to be trained in sure footing.
Chicos me encantan sus videos, sigan trabajando así!!!
"He used the katana and his eyes changed " I'm dead 😂
only way to face multiple combatants is for each to know death is singular no matter how many
Very interesting. We used similar movement in Aikido during multiple randori. Move to isolate one attacker at a time and enter their attack space (Irimi) to throw off their timing. We used Uke Nagashi deflections too! Sensei always says: “All Aikido is SWORD!”
Really, fighting a group that takes turns is just like fighting one.
I don't know the rules of kendo, so maybe that would have something to do with it, but I feel like the group would have done better if they didn't go for the overhead attacks so much. Almost every kill with the katana was the same. Not saying it's not super impressive, he was very fast, I just feel like the strategy is obvious, as was shown with that thrust at the end.
I dont understand why they kept going at him 1 and 1. But even so, what awesome fighting from the katana man.
Because they are evaluating how to strike, how to faint, where to move, also avoiding "friendly fire". Nobody is gonna charge brainlessly without any regard for their own life.
I don't see why not. Mushashi, as suggests, was at least named after Miyamoto Mushashi who himself was a great duelist in the Edo period of Japan. However prior to his fame as a legendary duelist and killer of kenjutsu and kendo masters, he himself had faced multiple battles on the large scale during the Sengoku Jidai period where was was stated to have served under Toyotomi Hideyoshi and upon Hideyoshi's death, his family against Tokugawa Iaeyasu thus he does have combat experience to boot.
Musashi was an undefeated duelist who had been fighting since he was a young boy. He was already a demon when he set foot on the battlefield and long before becoming recognized as a kensei
Not really. His only battle before becoming a famous duelist was Sekigahara when he was 16. He began serving Tokugawas at the age of 29-30, which leaves a 14 years long gap where most of his duels happened.
If all the attackers advance the same exact way in a staged demo. Yes
I cannot help but notice every time the single swordsman won, the three kendo swordsmen attempted to strike the...exact...same...way.
And instead of surrounding and boxing him in like they did at the start, they kept their distance from each other.
And they only really struck from above, making it easy for the solo swordsman to predict and difficult to block the solo swordsman's low blows.
I feel like this was just a restriction on fighting styles. If this were a street fight, there's no way that one guy would survive any encounter against 3 enemies in such circumstances. But while they all have to keep their fighting styles, this dude could run circles around them and use their restrictions against them.
They are all just waiting for they're turn to attack
All I can say here is that this was a very well done demonstration. Especially when sensei went in to lend a hand on the side of the inexperienced kendokas.
IMO, if there was another experienced kendo user, the dual sword style will have even less leeway to fight.
Also, on the 1st strike the Kendokas used, whatever the starting attack of the 1st attacker uses, the 2nd attacker should probably always follow up with a different attack. When sensei wasn't part of the attacking side, everyone used overhead strikes. Only when sensei joined did anyone even do a thrust attack.
So the legend that he fought 40 people and won might be true? Are you kidding me?
What a beast!
he could indeed battle 3 people. but he would indeed die.
5:56 when the sensei starts squaring up
Thank you for the video it was very informative 👊🏻
From my observation, its seems like the biggest issue is that the kendo guys mostly strike from the top to bottom, which predicted can be blocked and slashed by the niten ryu style of 2 swords. Dual wielding is supper cool !
Kendo is extremely predictable. Just block the head shot. 9 out of 10 times it works.
I'm really loving this series keep it up
Maybe an overhead chop will work....eventually.....someday....300 attempts later....still....IT WILL WORK WE KNOW IT WILL.
i think a good way to create fighting scenes on film would to take film sequences like this and then just modify them slightly, or use certain camera angles to make it seem real. it would make fight scenes on film look so much more interesting than the usual coreography.
I remember a self defence video and just like the instructor explained, he doesn't allow himself to be surrounded and he is constantly moving.
You remind me of a movie I watched called Crazy Samurai. I hope all gyms teach people real things like you do. All due respect, teacher🙏
One sword to deflect hits, another sword to execute an attack. It's easy to see why it's heavily advantageous against one sword holders.
Musashi : so nobody actually dies in your time when practice those sword arts .
Them : no master , we takes it as an art , culture or a sport , we practice it as an honour to the warriors like you who lived and paved the way to those pieces of art you left behind .
I wonder what will be his reaction .
Musashi also reportedly used psychology (like showing up late to a fight and from a direction they weren't expecting, using a carved oar instead of a sword in his most famous duel) and the environment (forcing multiple opponents to use difficult terrain, fighting with the sun at his back so it was in their eyes).
opponents almost always hit high on the head! it's easy to block with the first katana and counterattack with the other! if the opponents vary the blows (lateral blows) and simulate attacks without finishing them in order to change the trajectory etc, then it will be difficult to defeat 3 opponents...
Hello, I studied The Book of Five Rings as it instructed for three months. This is a cool film but the whole range of Actually Permissable motion is not allowed and we all ignore that here so it's just cool. ⚔️🙇🏼♀️ Mortal Kombat 9, especially its Scorpion was Easily Built To Inspire. On round two here, I believe I see a set up just past the initiative for a nasty execution, cheers there. Wont elaborate. 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏼 The, Resolution, is a very powerful tool. There are many many openings at all times we could say.
Can we talk about how at 4:10 we see the rare practical use of spinning in combat?
Not bad and pretty cool ..I also love watching Battousai ... I'm sure after a while if the sword was not made of great quality continuous blocking would lead to multiple chips that turn to cracks to finally break the sword.
Poor quality swords shatter, this is true!
I recently spent roughly 2 years training with a pair of carbon steel iaito that lasted serious stress testing between my sensei and I, blocking and parrying being utilized all the while. Both survived with good maintenance and are quite toothy along the blade now 😁
An excellent demonstration of the Mushaisi
I love this channel so much
Thank you for the video, enjoyable as always!
Very exciting and informative! Great video!
Done this many many times. Defender has to keep circling towards the most aggressive person, and keep that person in front of them. Circle, circle, circle. Wait for your opening. The attackers need to countercircle, and stay close together. use cautious but constant aggression against multiple angles and levels. defenders should never split up, as this allows the attacker a moment of one on one.
Yeom is truly invincible under the sun
Every video from you is a fun learning experience, 감사합니다!
I see the problem of practicing group classes. All three are hitting from top to bottom. Although a person standing on the side should strike a diagonal blow from below. If he is standing on the left, then the blow should go from the bottom to the top from the left. Syncing with a friend in the center is no problem.
Musashi clearly trained with DUST self defense guy
Legend: musashi. Worthy of a name and its proven
Great content! It was super interesting to watch!
Cheers from France :)
It is worth pointing out that Musashi himself largely used 2 full length Katana, not the combination of long and short blade (Wakizashi). This is more dangerous because it adds the additional reach with both hands instead of the short blade being the only one to be used for blocking and deflection.
Awesome! Looks like fun training! Domo arigato gozaimasu 🙏
You cannot use the same movement after fight against enemy 1, change the target to axila, foot, knees, throat to try avoid create patterns that you enemies can read.
This Chanel has to collab with ask shogo, I think it would an amazing collab
I hope you could do a sparring match with Europeans or Americans who practice European swordsmanship. It would be great to watch.
NGL this is rad as fuck! Beautiful!
Line them up and never stop moving. This is a fact no matter what style you’re using. The second guy can’t attack you if he’s behind the first. Stay in motion, be aggressive, and dispatch them as fast as you can. You’re going to exhaust first no matter what, so end the fight before your tank empties
Brilliant concept for a video
Looking at the video, their problem is that their not used to working as a team. You can see the guy standing to the side / back of the fighter as he is attaching and just watching. They should be attaching him from the side / back while he is fighting the person in front.
Or maybe they are just too slow
We used the same tactics as against a spearman - line. As shown: when kendokas break their line - they loose.
Fun and instructive! Thanks a lot for sharing 🙂
Too smooth dayum
It shows why Musashi did this. It broke the norm, that folks were so used to using.
Psychologically people put less effort when working in a group compared to by themselves.
Vaya este video hizo que despertara mi alma de espadachín y el dia yo fui fans de los espadachin y por supuesto Rouronin Keshin es sin duda la mejor de samurais y mi favorita por siempre.....cuando era adolescentes ansiaba aprender ese artes marcial kendo, pero no como habia una en mi pais.. pues me rendi y opte or entrenar artes marciales de cuerpo a cuerpo primero fue karate ( abandonado ) luego fue Muay Thai y BJJ ( activo por siempre ) aun asi, jamas eh olvidado mi amor por aprender kendo por lo menos una vez...🥰
pero si no has visto nada de Samurais que valga la pena ..no puedes poner esa serie como un referente solo por ser lo unic0 que has visto en tu vida
@@estebanflores210 Mira morro, no quien poronga sos, pero si eh visto otras series de anime samurai, y mi poderosima serie Samurai Champlo, Gintama, Afro Samurai, Ninja Jiubei-chan ( de hecho parece mas samurai que ninjas XD ) y me faltan muchas, pero Samurai X es la que mas prefiero despues de Samurai Champlo, me hiciste recordar una serie que ame tanto..
I would probably look into switching hands. Use the katana in the left to block while closing the distance, then go for a wakizashi in the dominant hand. This would possibly make the counters faster and more precise an maybe harder to see for the opponents.
With kendo rules it is very difficult to score ippon with the shoto, which I suspect is meant to balance the matches. Thus this kendo derived nito style likewise uses the shoto almost exclusively defensively.
More of this please!!
I'm not a sword fighter but I was presented with this video on UA-cam "which I liked a lot" and want to say what I saw.
2sword style it's for an very aggressive approach, for me, the 2sword fencer lacks aggressiveness and he let their opponents corner him, you take the initiative and you kill from one side to the other never go for the center and never let the center face you, every time he did this, he won.
Very exciting! So if I can understand right kenjutsu rules allow more abilities then kendo rules in using sword or Musashi style. One thing of course is interesting: duel 1 VS 1 was absolut victory in kenjitsu rules. Control was great! Interesting, very interesting experiment!
With the Musashi style you actually use the short one to attack and the long one to block. This way your attacks are much faster and you have a wider surface to block but you lose on reach.
Adapting to circumstance is what makes the style shine--being able to switch between which hand does what with an understanding of why and when will make the user far more formidable.
“Fixation is the way to death. Fluidity is the way to life.”
@@Axel5550 hmm, never thought about that actually, the flexibility you can do to switch up and confuse the enemy with which sword you use if you want a quick attack or a heavy one
@@J4N170R i think main reason it's switched here is it's a lot harder to get in enemy range w the short since kendo stances and jabs have such far reach compared to a slices
Hmm
I think kendo will have a chance if they ski at the same time, but with out practice it will be hard to do lol
The child only attack when his mates are down, that's how they lose.
