As a stage actor, I’m familiar with staged sword combat. I took a class, and the first thing our instructor said was “real sword fights end in seconds. And if that happens on stage, the audience will want their money back.”
Exactly, and we learn how to "fight" in a completely different way. we have to exagerate our strikes to make it easier for the "opponent" to see what's coming to him, so every move that can be sick on stage are pretty useless on fights. Staged combat with or without sword are something so different from just combat. and the less choregraphy you prepared beforehand, the more you'll have to telegraph your strikes. it's a complicated balance between realism and risk taken.
The stage combat group I participated with in a Renaissance Faire company tried choreographing a fight utilizing the Talhoffer style and it was horrible, lol. The maneuvers were incredibly straightforward, and that was the problem. Technically perfect and legal, but very underwhelming from a general audience viewpoint. "Clang clang dead" doesn't sell tickets...
I used to teach martial arts and do stage demonstrations. On stage our movements were huge and choregraphed. It looked great but then we would tell the audience "now in real life it looks nothing like that" We would then gear up and do a sparing match. You could see some of the moves but everything was much tighter, faster and the hits would actually land.
McMaster: and what makes you think, you could even stand a chance against me ?, I have fiiiftteee yeeaars of mastery Student: but master, I have been learning, I've trained all week, mastering an ancient, forbidden technique McMaster: what!? No, it can't be? Student: it is, master, the one you told us to never study, the forbidden technique that none were permitted to learn, ........ Yes, I speak of the 'that' technique, ....... Of how to hold the dam thing!, today, master, the student will surpass the master McMaster: nooooo, there was a reason you were told to never study that technique, it was forbidden for a reason. (Wow that was actualy kinda fun to write out, hope people get a laugh out of it. Also @Shad and @Ty, feel free to use that as script for an awesome scene sometime if you want, saw one of your short movies recently, good stuff 😃❤️).
I practiced akido for a few years with a sheriff deputy. We would practice all our techniques on people of different sizes and non compliment actors. There was one guy who was 320 lbs and 6'5". He was just stand there till you made him move. Great training. One day I went to an akido conference and all the training was set up where the slightest touch made people fall over. It was so unrealistic, but the other people thought it was great.
back when I was just learning to fight, one of the guys I learned from said there's a term for the pose when you overextend an attack and then freeze. it's called "I'm a baby harp seal, club me" All of the opponents in the videos seem to have mastered that pose.
The first video was a hidden cam into a very secret "The Flash Fight School". Clearly the sensai has access to the Speedforce and is teaching the students how to defend themselves when they can move the speed of light.
Since when does that feature exist? Never reallized that it is possible to change the audio stream to AI translated ones. Not that I want it for English, but it could be useful in general.
I love you guys. So much Bullshido online. I'm glad you have each other to "push" each other to become even better. Many go too long with what they teach and have never been "checked". I study movement in order to manipulate another's movement. I like what you offer as combat instructors. Plus you are both fun to watch. Thanks for being entertaining as well as factual. Sincerely, your brother in arms.
This video had me laughing so much. Your reactions are Brilliant. I have learned so much from you guys I'm annoying my friends by pointing out some of these things. Awesome video and as always great content Shad
In kenjutsu there are some dodge movements, but first, you also have your own sword, and you either, are attacking back while dodging or, are also blocking with your sword
@@glasletter3111 Its not swordplay, it's actually swordsmanship, or art of the sword, depicting methods and techniques. And about fighting with swords, what I was saying was that, to stop or handle an armed attacker, you would better have something to block or attack while dodging, if not, would be better to run or get really close, as described, instead of trying to grab the sword.
@@albertofui allow me to correct myself. It MEANS swordplay. It can be translated into several different words, but the parts mean "sword" and "technique/method". "Jutsu" is actually difficult to get 1.1, hence why translations aren't always consistent. I have lived in Japan for years and am fluent in the language, so I'd hope you'd trust that I have a BIT of knowledge on the subject 😁 And yes, that's what they said in the video.
The silly string one could be a candidate for the one real mcdojo video. Substitute the sillystring with some embers from a fire or a strong acid and maybe just back up rather than rolling forward like a dark souls character.
A video where you try out these techniques would be great, just go step by step "If they complied up to this point here's how it would fail.......moving on if they complied to the next point here's how it would fail.....if they complied even further it would still fail, here's how...."
@@twinodoom That is if you want to be an all star dodgeball players. The second stage in the art of swordplay is dodging pocket knives, prison shivs and kitchen knives.
You can get some control of a Katana barehanded because it's single-edged. Doesn't mean it's either easy or advisible. Always better to go for the wrist.
That "technique" was invented by fiction to show that characters are superhuman badasses, but at some point people decided it was real if you just practice enough.
My favorite is seeing the (Masters) who are so high on their own farts when they actually do come across a resisting opponent their whole reality changes. When you see that, look in their eyes is priceless
Great video. I guess the reaction videos must get more love from the YTA than the original content stuff. Love it all either way and you guys are great. Keep fighting the good fight.
I am reminded of going to a martial arts weapon demonstration as a teen where the team demonstrated the features of various popular martial arts weapons, yes, including nunchaku. and at the end of the demonstration, the leader sent his backup dancers out into the aisles between the audience with instructions to all attack him at once, so he could demonstrate the weapons that were superior to them all. the superior weapons, of course, were marshmallows colors to appear to be rocks when he started throwing them into the audience. then aw all had a good laugh.
As someone who trains Muay Thai, we've had these McDojos around for decades. It's just hilarious when someone coming from these places comes into where I train looking for sparring sessions. It usually doesn't end well for them.
To be fair if it was real they probably would. I mean if they grab a sword with their bare hands ... you can twist it before they grab it and just cut their hands.
You guys never fail making my drive home with public transport an enjoyable one Edit: I just noticed you guys are using a sword now to separate the two screens! Nice!
5:51 These fellows must have been just playing around. Has to be surely. I _have_ made someone slightly stumble by bIasting them with 1,500 lumens at night - which is completely bIinding even after turning it off. Now I'm wishing I had silly string so I could have caused some crits.
Cant wait to see Shad and Tyranth do a demonstration of what you should, and shouldnt do on the off chance some shmuch actually does attack you with a sword.
I got some martial arts training nd we trained with some small knives but you never grab the knife you always go for the arm or wrist; but that is only if you cant run from the fight
Same here, and my instructor told me that if you do end up in that situation... Be prepared for injury! Oh yeah, and if the attacker is after your money or phone, it's more important to avoid a fight than to lose material posessions.
I think the second clip might be out of context. I think this is supposed to be rehearsing for a fight scene in a play, because it plays out a lot like some clips I've seen about a couple samurai fighting a spider demon(either a tsuchi-gumo or ushi-oni, I cant remember which) who shoot webs at them to tangle them up.
Showed it to kiddo, he was watching it, and after about halfway he stopped giggling, after the vid he said "I simply couldn't even laugh anymore since their fail exceeded that level"
About 2:02 only Asoka Tano has sirvived that. So, if you're not a Jedi, d&D character, or a super hero, please don't try it if your life depends on it succeeding.
The double palm sword catch is my favourite I encountered from a friend learning "martial arts" when I was studying Iaido. So we got the bokken out so he can show me how it works. It doesn't and it really can hurt your head and hands.
Brandon Sanderson uses this in one of his books, but they call it the Last Clap, and it usually fails. Like, if you're about to die you might as well try something, lol
I remember at an Ikedo class one the pressure piont submissions weren't working on me, yes I could tell where they wanted me to go but could resist it as was stronger than the teacher ended up getting gas lite into submission but the main one was I was asked to punch with intent to there head slightly to thier left and they were meant to intercept and throw me or something well I throw the punch throw the the target area and back to strike position so fast the only thing about them that moved was thier hair from the wind generated from my fist and was told "no no no your pulling your punches, you need to stop where hit the target and leave you fist there.
Sounds like Yonkyou. The pressure point can indeed be difficult to find and the pain isn't that bad. It can be still an effective leverage and esp. with some Atemi it's a workable technique. Unfortunately that's often not how it's taught quite often. Many schools like to make you believe that you suddenly have some magical control over your opponent and can make him go in circles around you. You can if they aren't stronger than you and don't have pain resistance but it's a stupid ellaboration that messes up a working technique.
@kaltaron1284 it definitely has it's place and some are more effective than others but there's no guarantee and shouldn't be relied upon I don't think.
Hey guys, i just bougt my first longsword, a "Windlass Battlecry Bosworth Longsword" i would love a destruction test from you guys with the same sword.
old manuscripts or treatises sometimes have some questinable illustrations. can it be that these two old guys are reenacting stuff like this? or they mean to show some mythological characters with superhuman speed and strenth?
the first one reminds me of loony tunes running off a cliff, and the other character just points down smugly to remind the antagonist that gravity is about to kick in again.
You have the sword split screen. But when you do cameras in the corners, you can use horizontal flail with chain hanging on the side to make some nice frame.
I think I see the confusion around clips 1 and 4. You see Shad they are actually lv. 9 wizards obviously casting “Power word : No Touchies”. Since the wizards weren’t wearing their pointy hats, you can’t expect the swordsmen to have immediately recognized the situation.
there is only one way to win when someone with a sword is attacking and that's if you see a weapon get the f out of the area before the attack happens.
Honestly, that first "demonstration" would be perfect in a fantasy show/movie if the Sensei was a vampire fighting against a normal human opponent, and you wanted to show how badass the vampire character could be. But that's really the only time it makes logical sense.
The 5:54 technique might actually works, depending on what you throw at your opponent.... but only once.... if you are still close to them within the 10 secs after, your finished ^^
It's funny watching Shad giggle at the stupidity while Tyranth is just slowly dying inside.😆
Has been Tyranth's expression with these series, like this is so dumb I just can't--
Yeah they definitely complement each other 😂😂
