Jul 7, 2008 - just a matter of time before he cuts/kills himself or another, that is all garbage and not real samuri anything.

sambalbal Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - wow nice show.. but that's all it is, against a warrior who takes the katana seriously, as it should be, he wouldn't stand a chance with his unusefull sideflips. while in mid-air, he'd allready be dead, ah well, let the guy think he's strong

averit Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Well, he has shown some tricks but we don't know what he can do in the fight.

Jul 7, 2008 - not real military nobility of pre-industrial Japan

Jul 7, 2008 - I honestly hate this crap! Yes it looks cool, but all you can do is twirl a damn sword. you will find actual combat is different. I hate where martial arts is going.

MINUTEPHUNK Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Wow! Are you guys time travellers from acient Japan? This may be just twirling a sword around, but then again, that's all it's supposed to be. Do you want to see someone get cut in half? Would that impress you? Do you all know what it's like to be in a sword battle? "Not real military nobility of pre-industrial japan" - What? I totally thought that this was a video shot hundreds of years ago! Thanks for clearing that up and letting me know he's not a true samurai. Give me a break!

Jul 7, 2008 - yeah i know what you mean man, i get into sword fights all the time, and i dont just swirl my sword around like this either... WTF are you talking about, how would you know, this guy could rip you a new asshole

guywithhair202 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - it might not save u in a sword fight(like u will actually get into 1 in this age) but it will impress the girls :) hell yeabesides how many people u kno can do this

KotobaNoHana Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I admit it looks cool when he is slashing air, but what about him slashing actual objects? his moves are fluent when theres nothing stopping/slowing him down, but what about when there is?I'm sure other martial artists would agree with me here.Also it seems that he combined basic kung fu with what seems like self-taught random sword play.

Jul 7, 2008 - It's fuckin' stupid, a complete disgrace to real sword masters everywhere, (not that I am one) alls I'm sayin' is try swingin' a real one punk. :-P

RoperPryde Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - If he just took a stick whirling around it wouldn't make any difference. It's just acrobatics with an object (yeah, take a glowstick and jump on a rave-wagon at the love parade, the girls will love you), not martial art.

Doublejoe321 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the katana is too small for him

combaton Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Looks good!

ws1984 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - wtf,go learn kendo,

ws1984 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - you don't even hold sword right

Arsenio108 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - BULLSHIT!!!!

Arsenio108 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Agreed!

Arsenio108 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the music is very traditional. Just like when he anounced the kata, or formation he was about to perform. haha

WhyAreYouAsking Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I was sooo hoping it would take off his hand or something at 0:45. That'd have thaught him not to pretend knowing the way of the sword.No, seriously, how stupid can one person alone be?

Alabenalsuape Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - wow, that would be awesome in a chinese kung fu movie! that would be stupid in a fight xD if a samurai was to fight with him he would just let him get tired and then slice him xD no, but really, i would like to see him in a movie, its like in indiana jones when he shoots the dude with the swords

milchev Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - well, its more like a circus, but u guys realise that this isnt easy to do with a stick let alone a sword plus i guess this was designed to be attactive not necessarily pretending to be realistic

santaku Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - no offense or any hate... if he were to do a flip like that then he would get your legs chop off already in real battle XD.

kaiserbatch Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - samurai jack theme XD

KrankFilms Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Do you complainers have any idea the sort of control of body and concentration required to pull of acrobatics like this. Sure this couldnt be used in a fight but if you told this guy to take it seriously his concentration and agility alone would make him dangerous. Martial arts these days isnt killing people its control and discovering your limits. I think if any of u whiners tried it your limit would be not cutting yourself doing a forward roll.
