Damn these Battles are always unpredictable and exciting at the same time! 😎. Seconds to 'read' each other/engaged attacks...Great skills displayed. Thanks for this one 👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
in Edo period wasn't the wakizashi used for self defence because you had to leave the katana in the hallway of an establishment? Also, wasn't the Wakizashi meant for close quarter in confined areas. Then you've got the two sword style?

KoKatana is a better-personal- choice for the longer Katana length Tsuka leverage, but also for speed of a shorter Wakizashi blade. Against a Katana in an open space? Aaaa, I'm going to have to be well caffeinated, on my Laido "wannabe" game and very motivated to survive. If you can find and try a KoKatana, do so. I own many because of the overall quick feel.
Greetings ! Impressive display, although you may want to use a shorter stance when using a shorter weapon; trying to negate some of the reach advantage (therfore making the Katana step closer in order to get a hit, meaning the Wakizashi has to cross less of a gap. Presenting the leading hand like you would with equally-sized weapons merely offers the Katana a target of opportunity (hand) and makes it harder for Wakizashi to score since you need to cross a wider gap to make a mark (think Ma-ai). Keep your hands close when using a shorter weapon; make your opponent come to you and take advantage of the closing distance. Cheers ! 👋
Very insightful. Unrelated, but It would be great if yall can contrast Korean vs Japanese swords and techniques. I keep hearing Korean systems are much different but certain korean swords look identical to a katana.
I've actively sparred shorter blade vs longer blade. Unless the person with the longer blade is really inexperienced or they're in a confined space, longer blade will generally always win. Have you ever tried sparring with a katana against a two handed long sword? The katana wielder feels like they're going up against the long sword with a pocket knife. Shorter blades leave you really vulnerable vs someone with a longer blade who knows what they're doing. This is not to say any style of sword fighting is superior over another. The Japanese and Asians had longer blades and spears, etc. The Katana is a somewhat close-quarters weapon in comparison to those.
Use Wakizashi with technique: not first to attack the body or head First to attack the arms or wrist then second to grab the arms then any part of the body
Kendo is a kenjutsu style with techniques derived primarily from Hokushin Itto Ryu and Ono-ha Itto Ryu. This is a kendo channel, both of these guys study kendo, it is filmed in a kendo dojo. Do you seriously expect kendo not to show in their free sparring?
He was treating the single wakizashi like a fencer. He needs to use it like a Kali stick and keep his empty hand active. If he used it to jam the arm of his opponent he would have won more often.
Very nice. I would try to lean more foreword and lengthen my position with the wakizashi, just like it is done in the Nihon kendo kata. That should give some reach to balance the advantage of the katana. Also some close fighting, if possible with the wakizahsi as seen in the kata or even better the techniques from Tankendo. Just some food for thought.
I think rather than bending forward more foot work is better. Bending forward makes you unbalanced and brings you closer to the katana. Just my thought.
@@simplelife3020 It is not really overbending to offbalance, but more a lengthening of the body. Hm, hard to explain in words, check out the Nihon-kendo-kata videos available with the three short sword kata. However I totally agree, that footwork also is an important key to success.
Out of genuine curiosity, is there a reason straight downward strikes are so present in many kinds of japanese swordsmanship? I've got no training it at all but I'm interested if there's something I'm not seeing. I'm just practicing various hema styles and there I made the experience that straight downward strikes are offering just minuscule reach advantages compared to diagonal ones, but the diagonal ones keep both your hands/arms and body way safer.
Cause if you pop someone in the head with a katana like your whackin a mole they die instantly Edit: striking your opponent diagonally doesnt guarentee they go down
I can only speak from limited experience, so take this with a grain of salt. Itto ryu (kenjutsu) was a highly influential style, which gets its name from the phrase "itto sunawachi banto (一刀即万刀)" or "one sword gives rise to ten thousand swords," meaning that a thorough understanding of the fundamental technique of cutting will lead one to understand the myriad variations. A core concept of the school is that if one masters kiriotoshi, a strong downward stroke which simultaneously attacks and defends, everything else is then a variation on that. Other kenjutsu schools e.g. Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu are better known for kesagiri: a diagonal stroke. Advantages of the downward stroke is that 1) it simultaneously engages both dorsal muscles for a stronger stroke, 2) it better controls the center line, and 3) it better protects the hands (behind the sword).
Ive always said the wakizashi is better then the katana. Yes rhe katana is longer but not enough to put the zashi at a big disadvantage. Meanwhile you can pair the zashi with other thingw like a shield, punches and kicks, guns or even go full musashi with another zashi.
You have to remember that these weapons are first ceremonial. The most likely way that you would have two wakizashi is if you stole one from some other guy. I believe that Yagyu Shingan Ryu has some kata which feature this.
They’re both Katanas. The quote on quote Katana that you’re referring to is a Uchigatana. The Wakazashi reall is a shorter katana than the Uchigatana. Not the shortest, seeing as how that goes to the Kodachi and the Tanto is even shorter than that.
There's something I've always wanted to try : do you think you could use a wakizashi in reverse grip in one hand, and hold it against the tsuba of a katana in your other hand, to use it like the crossguard of a european longsword, to deflect your opponent's blade ? I think it would be quite effective against a yari or maybe a tachi !
Next? Katana vs Nodachi?
I thought they already did??
Orochi Vs. Kensei 💀
Katana vs Tantō 💀
I want to see katana vs bo staff
Nunchaku vs wakisashi
Damn these Battles are always unpredictable and exciting at the same time! 😎. Seconds to 'read' each other/engaged attacks...Great skills displayed. Thanks for this one 👍 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hmm, at least the wakizashi has some indoors bonuses and its good for training dexterity :3
I want to see a katana vs wakizashi inside a low ceiling narrow room, full of furniture. There we will see why it was created and in full advantage!
The wakizashi player had to work a lot harder to get their hits, except that first one. A stroke of genius, that was!
in Edo period wasn't the wakizashi used for self defence because you had to leave the katana in the hallway of an establishment? Also, wasn't the Wakizashi meant for close quarter in confined areas. Then you've got the two sword style?
Also used when your katana is broken or dropped so you have to draw the wakizashi, which will lead to this scenario
Katana is for outdoors, wakizasshi is for indoors. Tantos were for smaller game. It all descends from farming and nature and agriculture.

(주의, 저는 브라질 사람입니다)카타나가 너무 좋아요, 이 아름다운 검, 수제 검도 만들었습니다 ⚔️🤺(attention's im brazillian)
I could watch these fights every day. They are as entertaining as educational. Thank you for all your efforts. 🙏

Excellent demonstration👏👏👏the samurai with the wakizshi got some very good blows in. Once again another fine weapons video. Thanks 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Most likely the Katana will not work so well in tight places & The Wakizashi will not work in open spaces.
The katana has the obvious reach advantage, but if the wakizashi can get inside that reach, success is *possible*.
Wakizashi only good forncounter attacj against katana..
영어는 진리다. 이 분들 영어론 이러고 계셨네. 이런 자료 드뎌 풍부히 발견

Wakizash!!!!!!!!!!!!❤ preferably 2 duel wield.
I don't believe it's the sword that's strong it's the person who dares to draw it. It's a skill issue not the weapon.

they already did tachi vs katana
CAN YOU DO THE BLIND FIGHTING TECHNIQUES LIKE ZATOICHI, PLEASE. 😎👊💥🙏
Wich app do you use for the blood effects during cuts ? Looks amazing
had better fightign with tankendo-ka for more real experience
Will you go to jail if the sword goes through the guy during a tournament?
That's crazy! We also did this in my old Jujutsu classes
日本の文化が韓国でも人気ですね
Next?: Katana vs Naginata
Single Nunchaku vs katana
Single Nunchaku vs wakisashi
Doble nunchucks vs doble wakisashi ...please

Great music!
Size matters.
Seems like a delicate balance of staying just far enough away from the reach of the katana, yet close enough to exploit any over-extension...
🙂
Use Wakizashi with technique:
not first to attack the body or head
First to attack the arms or wrist then second to grab the arms then any part of the body
Stop using kendo style you should use real kenjutsu style
Kendo is a kenjutsu style with techniques derived primarily from Hokushin Itto Ryu and Ono-ha Itto Ryu.
This is a kendo channel, both of these guys study kendo, it is filmed in a kendo dojo. Do you seriously expect kendo not to show in their free sparring?
Can you do kenjutsu with nezuko sword
Question: Is it illegal to use ballistic vests or tactical items in South Korea? I know about their gun control, but woe to tactical items.
It would be interesting to find a way to do draw and cut competition to challenge the katana against the faster draw of the short Wakazashi
what would Musashi say?
also, requesting a match in the snow
I have a question for you how much sword basd martial artist are there
Wakizashi and tanto vs katana
Ashigaru vs Samurai
gotta learn some of this shit just in case I get isekai'd
Nice! First kodachi kata at 3:08
What camera do you use? 👋
Tengo una pregunta que tipo de bokken usa en el video
Interesting
片面だけはがあるのを「刀」と呼びますが、日本刀風の刀が朝鮮で作られたのが1590年代以降、朝鮮が日本刀を模倣して作成したものです
（しかも近年の日本ブーム以降ち注目されている）
もっとも、日本刀も蝦夷刀（モンゴル刀になぜか似ている）を模倣して作成している
Wakizashi vs ninjato sword next
Or katana vs ninjato sword
They are already using choken🤓
Katana Rules!!
He was treating the single wakizashi like a fencer. He needs to use it like a Kali stick and keep his empty hand active. If he used it to jam the arm of his opponent he would have won more often.
You have to keep the offhand tucked, reaching for a knife is only going to get you cut
That's not a good idea
thanks
Thanks for the good video 👊🏻

@@Ianmar1 Adding-
The stroke is in natural alignment which means better follow through and less chance of a glancing blow.
With its length, the Katana seems more practical but that doesn't mean the Wakizachi is ineffective. 😊
Thank Weaponism ✌🏾

Myamoto Musashi used katana and wakizashi not double wakizashi.
