- The Freestyle Swordsman. Some crazy vids i made a few years back off the back of my martial arts. Katana (samurai sword), bokken and oak staff stunts.
Sword stunts, tricks, forms and extreme martial arts from a few years ago.
Something i made for a talent contest (hence the corny end).
New song - The Last Memory of Man, by Defender

I absolutely LOVE this video. Seriously, I can't wait for you to make another one!
Always,
Anya
Hello, I would like you to fight for me against the Lannisters

Normally I don't have much regard for this kind of showmanship. Flourishes do not a swordsman make. But after watching this, I don't much care. This has merit for its own sake. Keep up the great work, Roach!
Got to tell you, you look perfect in your moves (in my eyes).
The precision and the smotheness of your moves do really impress me
I'd just like to say that I, am an aspiring swordsman who's been training for years, and yet I am nowhere near as skilled as you are. I'd ask for lessons but I think I'm too stunned by how awesome this is to even comprehend myself, let alone anything else. You're the most amazing swordsman I've ever seen.
I still amazed at just how epic this video is. It's just unbelievable. Cheers Tom.
Thanks again Roach. This has been my favorite swordmanship video since you put it out. I come back to it time and time again for inspiration. I miss the days when it had Hysteria as the music though.
kodachi, katana, bo staff. attack, show, defense. damn man you've got it all.. nice work! unlike some of the 10 year olds that grab a $10 katana and suddenly they are masters.
That was bad ass... and the music is awesome too. Can't get enough muse.
beautiful swordsmanship
I love how you combined various forms of martial arts and really made it your own. instead of focusing on absolute discipline or finding the "ultimate martial art" as has become so incredibly trite, you take it in your own direction and just have fun with it, turning it into almost like a dance, which in the end makes it just as much an art as if you were the new Musashi. Way to go!
You're really great and KenVert is one of the prettiest arts on our planet. What I like about you is that one can really feel your love for swordsmanship. And although you're probable one of the best at doing stuff like that, you don't show a tiny bit of arrogance unlike some other guys who call themselves great samurais just 'cause they strike (not cut) something in their backyard. Keep up this great project!
I've done martial arts my whole life, and 1:38 you are one of like 5 people my life who has done a correct sweep. GJ
Stay sharp friend. Nice Katana skills
If you would play Beat saber. You would play it....
LIKE A BOSS
It's so nice to see someone on youtube that has really something to offer.
Your skills are fenomenal. I have seen many sword tricking, or any weapon freestyle and I know what is it like to hold a sword, I'm a historical fencer. In category of sword freestyle YOU are the best for me.
People like you deserve to be famous, I wish you good luck.
wow... this is 7 years ago?!
I am very ineterrest how exciting your skills are now.
Your moves are extreme awesome!!!
Great Job!!!!
Dude....I'm good with a katana but you just took it to a whole new level.
I think i made a mess in my pants watching you... That was amazing.
well...ive been put to shame. awesome moves man!
Great video,music and mad skillz. I enjoyed watching very much.
Yes Muse! With swords! I'm a student of kum-do (the Korean version of kendo - the real Korean sword arts have been, for the most part, lost to history), and I'm really impressed (floored, really) by your skill. Congratulations, but you know as well as I do that such skill must continually be practiced and improved upon. Keep up the great work man.
you are a ninja!!!! holy crap I've never seen or even heard of anyone practicing katana akimbo since the days of musashi! I must learn those skills. I'm gonna study the crap out of your videos.
Katanas FTW! Haha nice work with the two man. It's a little harder to keep it flowing and creative with two. I've been doing japanese-adapted style sword work for as long as I can remember, that's how much I love it! So respect!
wow, that level of skill and speed with your swords is really amazing..
Amazing piece of art. All i can say.
Niiiice... All u need now are a whole arsenal of guns and crowds of mutant zombies and u'll literally be in L4D2.
Fantastic ,Great,Amazing........
I'm usually silent but I have to give respect to you for this, very nice man
Love the skills, I don't want to hear anyone say you can't handle a sword or staff they don't know what their talking about. Likewise with the good song and editing.
perfect perfect
insane sword style perfect nice perfect
my master
you are a true master of blades, I'm sure you'll keep up the good work, those swords look like they rarely not in your hands.
you have one of the best doppel sword styls i ve seen
It hits you, while watching this spectacle, that while it is performed with remarkably entertaining value and it is fast and it is flashy and, yes , it is complex in a "trick-or-treat" way there´s still an important aspect missing. A very important aspect. The complete lack of grace, the body cant maintain its centre of balance and you often outstep your circle.
it's so beautiful....... inspiring......
this just destoryed all my confidence that i had skill with a sword
that was spectacular!
Big Ups Roachy! Visually stunning and stylish! i'd like to see more "trick battles". You hinted at something there, was thatpart of London in the background. You have inspired me to take up my own trick style again. Thankyou
Welcome back!
Not only great swordsmanship but great video editing as well! 5/5
Thats amazing ! i like your freestyle man u got a new fan!
my dream is to be experienced in handling swords like this, man you are awesome and i think that its fantastic and i wish i could learn it!
Hey good to see your videos back on youtube!
Your moves are so awesome! Totally inspiring!!! Keep it up
PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!
lmao at 00:25 the dog was like, I need to get outta here lol.
beautiful...just beautiful
nice vid bro, i love the art of the Katana
Young crazy ninja! ^^
That's great and i like this music so much, you are much better than others over youtube ! :)
Holy cow. You've got to be my sensei someday.
i felt like i was watching myself for most of that. Impressive work with the duals. Ive been practicing swordwork most of my life and i cant handle duals near that well.
Next Achilles right here
that looks dangerous
but really awesome
Dam thats mindblowing I don't know if you have some regular job like the rest of us but with skills like that you'd make a killing in the movie industry
Awesome, very nice moves. You are very pro.
Hail from Hungary
one word: amazing
Respect! Very cool, i love it!
Pls make more vids ^^
Nice one out there, dude, keep up the good work :D
...Awesome. SO AWESOME! :D
very nice dude. Don't mind the folks who say you'd die in a real fight. Martial Arts, taekwondo and etc... are sports that people train and practice in. There are rules and regulations at tournament fights just like in football or basketball. When someone throws a ball into a hoop, no one says he'd get beat up in a fight. Its the same thing for martial arts.
Cool tricks, cool beat.
man you should totally be in a movie !
Amazing..your videos are very inspiring
I give you 5 stars for the whole production of this video.
Good moves, nice editting and backgrounds.
The only little comment I must make, is that I hope you keep respecting your weapon(s). Don't throw them around! ;-)
I hope to see you in a famous movie soon! Good luck!
Awesome!
I recommend taking classes in them to build from a base, the more you learn of anything, the more you can build upon what you have learnt. Or check out Extreme Martial Arts, not a fan, but I can appreciate the technical prowess. I was impressed at the section between 2:05 - 2:15, flowed well and no unnecessary movements.
i dont know anything about swords fight ... but this looks nasty fast and skillfull !!! you impress me a lot ! man i would say i admire you =D thats sick ... 5/5 ... i am just speech less (except of that lines)
Dude! Well edited too!
Nice sword techniques and video.
Great work! I dunno what the other music was but I think this is great.
pretty cool man! keep it up!
i've always found that wet grass is the worst grass to practice on yet it provides the most challenge
Some one has watched a bit to much of Highlander. But seriously thats pretty cool. If it wasnt for the talent show thing I dont think I would ever have come across your vid. Thats some skill, and good editing. Keep up the good work. Oh and I would like to see more vids of you sparring with someone, that was kinda cool.
Dude thats great . Keep up the training , i can see its paying off very well , and if youre heard about Lineage 2 , youre definatly a Bladedancer .
awesome dude
Holy shit if I tried even one of the things you did in the vid i would'nt have any limbs left.
Awsome vid, you are very talented
Your videos are amazing! I really would like to thank you. Thanks to you I got interested in freestyle, and I think I'm doing pretty well;] But of course I should not judge myself: D So far I have only one movie. Maybe it will be more ... I do not know: P
You are really great at what you do. I'm a big fan of yours:)
amazing !!
Awesome ! Thanks
awesome. very cool.
So when will we have a DVD we can order? lol seriouslly man...good stuff! Love the music...fits the video well! Great job mate!
This is very good style :)
Um.... the figure eight of doom... but wow you got some serious moves. Good to see people have fun with stuff like this.
REALY AWESOME
Lightning Fast....very cool
Ya han pasado 7 haños de este video y me sigue sorprendiendo...
DUDE AWESOME TRICKS!!!!
I can only do the sword tricks though(cuz all i have is a bent out of shape fencing foil)
very really niiiiiice freestyle : )))
man it's gana take me years to reach that kind of level
Very respective your techniques are incredible and your stance is just professional,,,, it would be a treat to fight you in a sword battle
impressive dude!
samurai traditionally carried two swords as listed below, although not to fight with at the same time. In demonstration kata's it gets you more points as it is a harder difficulty. The type of sword used in real combat depended on the situation, Katana, Wakazashi, or Tanto (small knife). However some samurai did use a two sword style, the most famous example is the man considered to be one of the greatest warriors of all time, Miyamoto Musashi.
yo respect !!! thats really great and it needs a lot of training!!! 5 STARS !!!
It's an honor to subscribe master.
And now apart from all of that...those final fantasy moves and stands are pretty appealing and I ve seen here some of the fastest kote giri (even a triple one) ever.
I think their skills could've made a good movie or game...^^
Very good performance!!!!!
Ah man I forgot about this video!
thats awesome
