They are Violating a Taboo in Our Ryuha | Kobudo Master Reacts to "The Last Samurai" Fighting Scenes

thank you by the way if you actually Spar like this in our new Hub 668 might not be so happy about it [Music] you need to grab the handle of the opponent's Katana instead if you want to steal his guitar [Music] foreign [Music] foreign but it is still one of the most famous Samurai movies of all time however what would a samurai Master like 60 say actually think about the katana action scenes set today the 22nd Headmaster with 400 years of History will react to three Katana fighting scenes from The Last Samurai by watching this video you will learn that there are quite a lot of techniques of assameshind you appearing in the fighting scenes of this movie however please understand that these fighting scenes in Samurai movies are called tapit which means sword acting and it is fundamentally different from kinjutsu we have no intentions of denying the technique and skills of Tate so please keep that in mind as you continue watching so then let's get started hello guys [Music] [Music] boom after watching the first scene there was something six and say said immediately is one of the most famous Japanese actors who has played many semi roles success explained that he has seen many fake fighting scenes in Samurai movies that disappointed him but he was very impressed with Mr salana's skills there was one scene that successa especially liked um just by looking at how you are gripping the handle of a katana you can see how much experience one has this way of gently holding the Handle With His Hands spread diagonally is the ideal tenochi of our yuhati we have similar techniques of hitting away the opponent's Katana and throwing the opponent in order to however it is slightly different foreign if you add you actually hit the back of your head this hard you won't be able to get back up that easily there are two things that are not so good to do from our duha's point of view one is the crossing of the wrist in one of the scenes as we've explained in one of the previous videos this makes a tip of the Tana come later and expose your rest to the opponent holding etana gently and avoiding crossing your wrist when every attack is fast the second point is the kicking um [Music] so although we do have many kicking attacks in kenjutsu we never aim for an opponent's upper body to avoid losing balance or getting attacked you would mainly try to attack the opponent's knees shin and crotch hey everybody 6sa personally liked the first scene more because the Safari scene has less aspects of kenjutsues [Music] the first point success they noticed is the movements at the beginning of each fight are too big the small movements that start the kinjutsukata in our duha is called wadu which means to break if you actually had a chance to spar with fukushinai for example you will understand that you definitely cannot start from a big movement you'll just give a huge chance for the opponent to attack you the next Point that's a little unrealistic is that each fight is unnaturally long enough they are both greatly swinging the guitar around for no apparent reason and if there are Samurai training in this era they must have a lot of taijutsu aspects in their skills too not using any taijutsu in such a close combat is a bit unusual by the way if you actually spark like this in our new hot 6sa might not be so happy about it [Music] the state of Not Having the courage to dig the decisive attack when you know you can win is called it is a terrible Taboo in our new hug however again this is it actual kenjutsu spari but a movie scene so it's important that it has a certain life the last slow motion scene had a strange Point too foreign techniques of dodging like this if you duck the Dodge like this if you're fighting an actual kenjutsuka you would just get caught foreign thank you [Music] and you fight against four opponents that surround you in a cross ship you first move diagonally left to dodge all four attacks which is exactly what he did in this scene how the protagonists blocked the opponent's attack in this scene is something we often do in our new huskata foreign however the reason why we do it is because we train it as a safe Tata if you really wanted to feed an opponent on the ground you shouldn't swing the katana against him but just simply thrust there was one problem with how the protagonist was blocking the attack too if you open your legs and have both of your feet on the ground you won't be able to move immediately nor avoid other opponents from attacking your crotch that's why in our duha whenever we do a ukumi we have one foot on the other leg's knee you're hiding your crotch and can kick and stand up quicker his hands would also be a problem in a real fight if you blocked an attack with a hand like this the damage may be too big they won't be able to hold a katana for a while that's why in our yuha we pinch the back of the blade like this to minimize the damage to our hands the protagonist stole the katana from his enemies but this is something that we do in some of our Kata too however there is a major difference in this scene he grabs the opponent's hand to steal the katana but in real life that's impossible unless the opponent hands it to you you need to grab the handle of the opponent's Katana instead if you want to steal his katana [Music] so that's it for
