loving it... would also like to see tricking while cutting things. imagine in slow motion your swinging around cutting several bottles/containers of water standing all around. would be sweet
I've been practicing a very similar set of forms for over 39 years now, it's good to see someone with such an excellent free form. At 51 I'm just waiting for my knee to heal and then get back to practicing. You inspire me to get back into it. Thanks for the videos. Good on ya mate! Maybe if I drum up the courage, I'll post an old man video with Swords. LOL
Thanks man, its so cool that you remember that vid! Its a shame all my originals have now been deleted or audio-swapped. Especially as the music is timed to the movements. I never wanted to make any money off these videos so its sad music producers cant let the odd song slip by. Although, I can be proud i got quite a lot of people into my fav bands like 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' and 'Muse', but shame they cant see free advertising when it kicks them in the face! :) All the best mate!
Well, launching a new channel instead of completely leaving utube is fine, just as long as you message us all when you do so we can promptly subscribe! It still stinks that they took so many of your vid's down. To this day, everytime I hear Red Hot Chilli Pepper's: Can't Stop on the radio I turn it up & say out loud, "Do it up Tom Roach!" & then all your cool moves come flooding into my mind from that video as I drive! I wish you well with your new projects to come, my friend! Be well!

Yeah, unless its a scene with an obvious wooden bokken in it. I trained with wood for years but now have 6 live blade swords.
awesome stuff!!! how different is it training with a live blade over a boken?
Thanks man :)
Do this as well as school :)
Is there a specific name for the sword tricks and such, also do you have to have a lot of strength to do this stuff
Do you use a live blade for this stuff?
ok.... damn... you can be a hitokiri.. XD
Some pretty cool moves. Are you UK based?
Cheers GG, yeap i'm UK based 👍
