Ah, imagining that your opponent will stand there in shock and awe and do nothing: the cornerstone of so many martial arts! What do you think of Musashi saying that you should walk normally?
Much of Musashis strategy was psychological, so I think there’s an element of “what the hell is this guy doing?” going on. Somewhat like Alber, the fool guard, you’re tricking your opponent into thinking you don’t know what you’re doing.
@@flamezombie1 I also heard (I don't know how true it is) that Mushashi was obsessed with horses and that much of his fighting style was developed to be useful from horseback as well.
@@flamezombie1 AGI in my game means generating force, moving. STR means resisting force. So, I dont see your resisting anything in that video. STR only really comes in thrust damage and unarmed combat, as it means pushing power and body mass.
@@yuri_art_92 Hm, I’d say strength matters a lot less once you have a weapon in your hand but it still does. In those hanging parries, someone much stronger is much more likely to blow through your guard and hit you anyways. I’ll show some more next weekend.
Haha! This is after practice, I instruct the club for Oklahoma State University. So, they're used to us. I think a couple years ago someone was concerned and not sure if we were actually fighting or not lol.

So, AGI bonus for combat rolls, instead of STR. 😎
Either? Both?!

@@flamezombie1 thats what I did STR is mostly for bows and throwing,
Bladed weapons and "edge aligment" required weapons get bonus from DEX.
@@yuri_art_92 That's a solid assessment.
Wow! So ... have the locals called an ambulance for you yet, during one of these practices?
