Mark Davis ! I think he trained or trained with my sensei in Maine. Small world ....awesome video by the way. I love weapons , and as always love you doing a bit of a deep dive on specific types. I'm a huge fan of the suyari, would love to try the jumonji or kama Yari, etc.
Hey! I’ve already loved the jumonji Yari and I’ve always wanted one. But I’m not willing to pay that much lol But are there any wooden or plastic training ones I can get online?
I'd love to see a bit on the application of the jumonji yari. Also, as terrific as a Naginata cuts, I don't see much tactical value for it on a battlefield (dealing with armor, fighting in formations...)
@@thedojomartialarts yes I saw some auction sites but no place to bid, and I saw one on eBay but I don't know if it comes with the shaft and not the just the blade it didn't specify.
False, Micah. There are literally hundreds of accounts of Yari taking out thousands in armor on the battlefield over the centuries. I have pierced steel doors and Yoroi chest plates with a yari, easily. Yoroi was pretty good at stopping certain blows from the spear, but it can still penetrate if the angle is good, the blade is sharp or the spear slides into a crevice.
Fukuro, Jumonji and Su Yari (Edo period antique blades, that were moderately sharp) . Trust me, they work well against anything. Been stabbing armor with them since began training in1983.
Happy Holidays Todd, it was a pleasure meeting you this year and having you on my podcast, may 2021 be a better year for us all.
Same to you!
To you as well, Emmett!!
the spear was the king of historical weapons.
In open space the Odachi is a thing of fear, Naginata is a good choice. This is good content,I share your passion!
Excellent Video Todd sensei
I swear by hooked weapons, especially swords with hooks on them !! Glad to see something new the yari,you may have ignited a new obsession 😂🤣!!
thank you

Yes. Check out Raven Studios for quality wooden weapons.
@@thedojomartialarts just checked, they have a regular Yari, not Jumonji :(

Good for cutting down routing peasants from horseback, I'd wager
Is there a training Yari spear that I can purchase Sensie ?
yaris are functionally very similar to pikes/ pratizans/ spontoons.
Hello you said we can buy yari spear online. Do you know where I can find a omi yari to buy?
Hi. I would use a search engine and see what is available lately?

Came here from nioh 2
the yari did not really become really Popular until the 15th century
and you wont go through japanese armor with a yari unless you are on horse back charging someone then yes but on foot you wont
