@MasterNinja1990 This is for tournaments not for real life and BTW who the hell carrys a Katana around these days anyway. This is for the attributes. And yes he is a real Martial Artist. Why must everyone be so judgmental?

[@xWindtearx]

Guys, it's a FUCKING FORM. It's not supposed to be practical, you would never fight like this in a real sword fight. This is for show, and it looks epic. God, all the haters are pissing me off. -_-

[@ravenstook]

great circus performance!!!!

[@mattrR678]

@MrJellyThunder Because the point of martial arts is not to look good. It is about developing the body. It is not about the dance, it's about the energy. When people only see and know the external, and forget the internal, then the true spirit of martial arts dies.

[@raymonwoan]

excellent techniques, thanks for you share the techniques :D

[@DojiSan]

@videoedit69 The participants know that XMA is not the real MA! It is for show and shows the other art side of Martial Arts! Did you ever hear any of them say this is a real swordsmanship training?!?!? If you do then post it and your comments will be legit!!! Otherwise you are like comparing Oranges and Apples ( well more like oranges and lemons) :O

[@DojiSan]

@videoedit69 I'm confused as to the definition of "Martial Arts". What is the scope of this word. If I am studying for example how to poke someone with a finger and kill them, is that Martial Arts? There are two words, "Martial" and "Arts". What types of activities do both encompass? Is what he is doing in the scope of the "Arts" part? If so, can what he is doing then also be considered "Real" Martial Arts? :O

[@CSparzo]

YESSSS, AWWWEE!!! YESSSS!!! AWESOME!!!!
-you must say this when swinging a katana

[@summercures2]

I was kinda waiting for him to accidentally slice his face..lol

[@donbasuradenuevo]

Why are they using swords instead of parade batons?

[@volchec]

actually sec that is not a wakizashi, wakizashis have shorter handeds thats a kodachi

[@strummingnerd]

Good job! What kind of katana are you using? How longs the blade?

[@JohnnyOhio]

thanks...awesome if you ask me...peace...j.o...

[@del885]

@rabbitlugsify yeah, ebay isn't that great, I only buy katana's or so what it was called from. Barely use it in my iado classes, but I mainly use it for backyard thrashing only brecause I know for a fact that it's worthless but fun to cut matts with. I think I'm upto my 15th katana from eBay (not too sure, could be less, I just lost count lol).

[@towag]

Acrobatic entertainment at best and quite skillful in that respect, but totally impractical in the real sense of course, but alright for those who like it I suppose....

[@Creekmore]

then prove it.

[@jojoismyname08]

I guess I'm just old school in not favoring these extreme sword and extreme martial arts styles, but hey, if the evolution of martial arts means that you are supposed to do movements with a lot of wasted and unnecessary motion, lots of openings for your opponent, and that you just do martial arts just for show, then i dare say that it is not worth doing. I pity the masters of old times who are rolling over their graves right now. The martial arts should improve and not deteriorate through time.

[@del885]

@AkechiSensei eBay lol... well that's where I get cheap immitations from anyway, similar to the bastardised Japanese forms of Martial arts

[@link000000]

wow.....This is crazy!! lol

[@PsychoticLuke]

Joshua, you really are a very talented guy! But please, do it in slow mo - hahahaha you're too fast damm it! Hahaha :D :D Wish you all the best - and keep up doing what you Love to do, Katana Master!! :)))) Osu!

[@KingHuzzah]

@videoedit69 agreed

[@pimphics]

WHO IS JAS

[@xWindtearx]

^^ you don't know the difference between a sword fight and a sword form, do you?

[@uker23]

Pwwaahhahahahahahaha....reallly?

[@shinobitech13]

wtf is this? Swords are for war not dance recitals.

[@magicdolphin8436]

shinobitech13 who the fuck uses swords for war anymore?

[@jamielangner5568]

That aint no katana. Its a bloody wakazashi lol. I think if u was 2 try all that bs with a katana of ova 4 shaku ud end up with a few lacerations lol. My apologies to the lovers...but i cant appreciate this...its just wrong

[@darksideblues135]

The sword is fake. It looks like a cheap plastic sword you'd buy a kid. Grip and technique is awful. He would not be able to do this with a properly weighted sword. Also, his cuts a poor, the sword should make sound when cutting, there is none.

[@magicdolphin8436]

DarkSide Blues do you know what competition swords are?

[@darksideblues135]

MagicDolphin yes. They are extremely light fake swords. His sword doesn't even have proper tsuka wrapping.

[@mr_moon4152]

The movement he does literally comes from Starwars
