It is hard choice. I think I would take set of two weapons - yumi bow for distance, and tachi sword for contact. / PL: Trudny wybór. Myślę, że wybrałbym set dwóch broni - łuk yumi jako broń dystansową, a tachi miecz do bezpośredniego kontaktu. Greetings / Pozdrawiam W.W-F
Adam Celadin This video is really really great, thank you for this interesting knowledge! And my thanks to Master Jakub, My favorite weapon I think is the Tachi
You can really tell Jakub is an expert and holds his study in high regard. Each word he chooses it seems that he makes sure is a correct representation! Awesome video man
Man in a battlefield I would use sincerely the nodachi. Because I it is big ,precise (as a katana), and it has a wide cutting area (as a naginata)...and I like it because I could feel bigger with it showing some respect...regardless of the risk of being shot from a Yuri or from a teppo .😎
Let's see this video summarizes to 6 phrases for this video and these are: "Stand and fight" "Bring out your best warriors" "Fight me" "Hey, looking for me?" "Face me Cowards" "Draw your blades"
Everyone: Ghost of Tsushima got me here. Me: I've been interested in Feudal Japanese culture since Shogun: Total War. But Ghost of Tsushima did get me here. 😂
Samari armour is actually my fav it just looks so cool with the mixture off colours and the bits off decoration and with the ghost off Tsushima being out I am in my element
@@tanyadegurechaff6479 they shaped everything like genitalia lol, the coolest thing from them is their helmet and that wasn't spartan-exclusive, imo the Athenians had cooler helmets than them even
yes it was The primary weapon until the 1300 century then the naginata and yari were more Popular and became the primary weapon and then in the Edo period and up the katana was the Preferred Primary weapon
Always liked nagamaki and yari for their practicality. Master Jakub did mention the advantage of the musket in battle but the level of skill required is basic. Enjoyed this one very much. 👍
"While you were sharpening your blade. Do you know how I prepared for today? I learned. I know your language, your traditions , your beliefs. Which weapons you like and which weapon you don't like. So I ask you again. Do you like weapons? "
The guest with the beard looks like a bear of a man! He seems like an intelligent, knowledge & reasonable guy, but I would hate to have to tangle with him!
Great video as always Adam! Love the Sengoku Jidai period weapons, as i've watched a great deal of movies, or played games involved with the history at the time. Shogun 2, Total War has a surprising amount of historically accurate information. I personally like the Kodachi (Short Sword) for maneuverability, and Naginata and Yari are great tools as they were easiest to mass produce and train a conscript (Ashigaru) force. The stick is the most universal tool, putting a point or blade on the end merely increases it's effectiveness. Jakub is such a knowledgeable speaker. My only suggestion would be to edit in text for the Romanji spellings of the Japanese words (With short definition) as the Close Captioned get confused. Great lesson Jakub Shi-Sho! (師匠) Look forward to the next one as always Adam 👍
Since it is pretty early - will there be a repeat for the helmet test with the longsword, but with an actual sharp one? It really sucked that they used a feder for that instead of the shown sharp one. (Just to be fair to katana that was definately sharp in the test)
Many of the yumi (bow) that is used in training and demonstrating today are classed as "Ceremonial Yumi". They are typically 30-50 draw weight only. War Yumi used in the battlefield, had 2 more layers of wood in its construction, boosting draw weight to 150. This is the biggest misconception that Samurai bows were weak. In history, they were the most devastating weapon on the battlefield until the gun.
Yes. Yumi (japanese bow) arrows are heavier, so shorter range than a long bow, but more destructive power. further The O-yoroi (12th centurys japanese Armor) is 30kg of heavy armor. The samurai of that era were wearing it and shooting Yumi while riding. The samurai of the Kamakura period were heavy armored bow cavalry.
Great video. Master Jakub has a lot of knowledge to share about these weapons. I love the Katana but the Sode-Garami and the Yari were interesting weapons that looked like they could be used very effectively while keeping your enemy at a distance and doing damage. Is Hakuzan Dojo in Prague?
Actually I'd choose a Nagamaki, because it is basically a mix of Katana and Naginata, a longer grip for more control and a longer blade for longer range... I never held one in hand, but I always wondered if my two handed longswords couldn't have an even longer grip, after this video I now know my favourite...
very cool nice armor. i ride armor on horseback in videos. i am the only person from usa who is on youtube riding horses in full samurai armor in the mountains in youtube videos. archery in armors. cutting tatami in armor. fighting others in armor. i do all that in my videos. great video adam.
I love the older style of Japanese armor, but, personally I prefer the Nanban style for it's solid, bullet-resistant, qualities. Gimme a good Yari, Swords, and Teppo any day! Terrible with a bow! LOL! Thank you very much for your video! The academic in me loves the detailed explanation of each piece! Please keep up the awesome efforts!
Great video! I highly enjoy it! I have a question: Can Master Jakup speak japanese? I would like to hear him talking japanese with english subtitles! I also would like to see a documentary of you and Master Jakup going to Japan and meeting with the best masters of Japanese Samurai and Ninja! :-)
Allow me to add some minor corrections. Samurai armour didn't weigh 40-45 kg, it weighed about 20-25 kg. About the battle of Nagashino - Nobunaga had brought 3000 matchlocks but he couldn't really use all of them because of heavy rain prior to the battle. During the battle itself, there were only about 500 Oda gunners. They still played a role, but the battle was won mainly because of the extensive palisade and stake defense Nobunaga had prepared combined with long spears - that's what stopped the Takeda cavalry. Also, before the yari, the Japanese had the hoko which too was a kind of spear. And yari became prominent before the Sengoku period, during the Nanbokucho period. Other than that, great video! (^-^)
I believe that the Takeda would lose at Nagashino even if Nobunaga had brought no guns, cavalry charging a fortified structure is really stupid. IIRC the Takeda clan had just lost their leader and his idiot of a son took over and issued a stupid order but I might be misremembering.
Damn, that slave catcher looks like a mean, brutal weapon. I feel sorry for the poor bastards caught by that. Imagine if modern police, or HR managers used it
Just an fyi he's not drawing the bow correctly. He's supposed to draw from the top down. Also not sure where he got that katana was for kimono and tachi was for armor... That is not correct. Tachi was the predecessor to the katana. It was longer because samurai were predominantly mounted warriors... Things started to evolve after the Mongol invasion and many samurai became infantry preferring the stouter and better made katana and nodachi. And the katana Wakizashi combo was a daisho That battle where the takeda horsemen were killed was also because Oda nobunaga came up with the idea of volley fire. Which was actually not a tactic used until that battle... Little awesome tidbit
Katanas being known as a kimono weapon was due to katanas being used as self defense weapons and sidearms largely, which is why there is often many antique katana since most weren't used in battle at all but for status symbols.
@@wildhaunter that's fine. I'm sure there were some not brought into battle. But katanas absolutely were brought into battle... He made it seem as if the tachi was for battle and the katana for outside battle... Katanas replaced the tachi. The tachi weren't as good
@@miguelsuarez-solis5027 Katana is a general term for a Japanese-style single-edged sword. tachi is written as thick and katana. The blade is thick and long. This can also be used by cavalry. The tachi has a wide blade near the tip and becomes thinner toward the tip, so the center of gravity is at your fingertips and you can handle it with one hand. This katana was developed around the 9th century. Uchigatana is developed after the 12th century. uchigatana is written as strike and katana. Uchigatana is a katana made mainly for infantry warfare. The blade is warped at the tip to enhance the effect of slashing. The thickness of the blade is almost uniform up to the tip. Since these are used for different purposes, tachi was used even after uchigatana was created. The explanation that tachi is not uchigatana holds. However, the explanation that tachi is not katana does not hold. It is not accurate information that uchigatana was created under the influence of Mongolia. Japan was exporting katana to the Song Dynasty. Song politician Ou-yang Xiu (1007-1072) announced a poem called Japanese Katana Song. The content of the poem praises katana and Japanese technology.

Based on this, we devise martial arts using Dandao and Miao Dao. Martial arts book "Dandaofa Xuan" written by Ming Dynasty martial artist Cheng Zhongyou "Japanese sword art is mysterious. No one can predict it, so even if you use polearm, you lose to katana (tachi) every time." “Katana is easy to handle, and each one makes sense, even to the point where the handle, sheath, etc. are sewn. "Cantonese New Language/Language" written by Ming Dynasty poet Qu Da-jun "A samurai moves like the wind. Even a large number of soldiers can't resist. A samurai protects with a long Katana and a stab with a short Katana. A samurai never retreats. A samurai responds to any number of opponents." Mr. Lee’s tactical book “Muyedobotongji” "Ming Dynasty scholars say that Japanese swords are so strong and sharp that they can't be matched with Chinese swords."
@@tn1881 are you sure the untranslated word is katana and not tachi? Everything Ive read shows katanas developed in the 1300s before that the Japanese used the tachi... You even have tachi in parentheses in the translation I ask because I know many translations accidentally translate tachi which basically means sword to katana

I'd have a Nagamaki and a Yumi bow, because a Nagamaki could most likely cut a person in half, also I think it looks ridiculously badass!

Ready for the next episode champ! Love this series!
Ghost of tsushima brought me here
Great Game !!!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought of Ghost of Tsushima

Always liked nagamaki and yari for their practicality. Master Jakub did mention the advantage of the musket in battle but the level of skill required is basic. Enjoyed this one very much. 👍
it's really cool to see video like this during confinement, learn and stay at home
That was a really well done video. As a history enthusiast as well as a practitioner I found this very thorough and well presented for an overview.
These kinds of vids inspired me to buy my first katana lol. I’m really into japanese culture so it was a pleasure watching this video...

Although he has an accent, his Japanese seems to be pretty decent. He did it on his channel.
Where or who does the arms and armor commissions? Just collected over the years across the board or is there a smith crafting pieces for these guys?
Very intersting!
When samurai using tools like a sticky bomb, kunai, blowgun, smoke bomb or kill like an assassin he is "ghost/ninja"
