Now this is some PRECISE swordsmanship. Stable and straight cut , any sword of deviation as the sword slice through the tatami would cause the portion above to fall over. This is decades of training in action. 10/10.
素晴らしいスキル Those idiots who put thumbs down don't realize the incredible art they just witness, nor how hard it is to cut this cleanly and leave it stacked like that.
Amazing demonstration! What a sharp sword that must be to cut thru all 5 stacks, He doesn't even watch when he puts the sword away and still has all his fingers. WOW!
This man has great technigue, I can see how smooht and accurate he is easily. I used to do kendo my self also, but its bit different, still same techniques...
half right well not wrong at all but my understanding so fr is that when they are wet soaked for 2-3 days they are ment to have the same dencaty as a real arm or lim.
There are some thin bladed swords. They are meant for soft targets i.e. tatami with no bamboo. They are more for beginners as they are lighter. Thats what i began on before i moved up to a sword with a serious kasane. And it isn't as easy as it looks. You have to slice, not chop, which takes a bit to learn and even a master can screw up every once in a while. A bad cut can lead to a bent blade, even with a thick sword.
Gumdo IS a copy of Japanese arts - that's doesn't mean the skill involved isn't real. People have learned the weapon and the technique, acknowledge it at the very least. Koryu is very difficult to find outside of Japan. Cutting tatami is a modern practice. If you think this man with this sword will not be able to "practically" cut you, you are a fool.
Is... that sword completely flat? by the reflection of the light hitting the side of the blade, it gives the impression that the shape is completely flat, different from the common "diamond" shape that is usually seen in this kind of blade
I find your condemnation of Toyama Ryu's (gunto no soho) use during WWII somewhat perplexing. Every school of swordsmanship has some link to a brutal past, regardless if it was 50 years ago or 500. Afterall, swords were originally an instrument of war. Today, Toyama Ryu Batto Do, as well as other iai, teach admirable qualities such as discipline, patience & respect for life. Thank you
Still unreal that this is my doctor! This kendo master is also an acupuncturists! His clinic is in Bellevue, Washington and I highly recommend all of you to go to him! He has so many unique talent and experience. Visit his website and give him a call www.acupunctureofbellevue.com
I don't believe that this is HDGD since this person is not wearing the appropriate uniform. Also, the logo in the background reads "Korea Kumdo Association" which is a branch of the International of Kendo Federation. Thank you
Amazing. You see American videos, all they care about is world record this, who can chop the most mats, whatever. When you watch this, it just makes them look bad. I dunno. Not everything is about how many Big Macs you can eat.
Firstly, I am not calling you out as wrong. I am just curious as to why this arguing I hear and see everywhere about the nature of swordsmanship. How does one know if the design was modified in Japan after its' genesis in China or Korea? What are good academic sources to use? I find conflicting and compelling arguments in Academia at all levels, and would like to know how you know for sure. Thank you! All Respect Intended!
@@23Disciple well it’s actually both. There is no doubt that the dude in the video is incredibly skilled, but don’t think the swords doesn’t have a part to play in it too. Idk if you caught it but he (as well as all other gumdo practitioners I’ve seen) is using a hira zukuri blade/flat beveled blade shape. This allows for cleaner cuts on soft targets like tatami and a more acute edge angle. These kinds of blades aren’t as practical for the battlefield as their edges will take more of a beating. If the practitioner in the video used a shinogi zukuri blade, he wouldn’t have left as many pieces still remaining on the stand.
@@outsideiskrrtinsideihurt699 Yeah, that's true, it makes part of that too. I used too flat blades on taikai when they were (before covid). Its easier. But still, I remember people, which even had problem with hasuji when used flat blades.
@@23Disciple they also seem to be using the looser kind of tatami straws which are easier to cut. Most other Gumdo practitioners don’t seem to wet their mats either which would make it easier to cut as well but I can’t tell in this video.
i have seen more subtle brass tosogu - but only because it was antique and naturally patinated...would have looked more like it does in this video when new.. You just dont get to see what a lot of todays antiques looked like when brand new...
Yes it's an art. A martial art. Takes a lot of skill to produce clean cuts through straw matts rolled up. But at the end of the day. They are using a sharp sword to cut through a roll. Decade after decade. For what? Is there some practical benefit in their daily lives? NOPE. Unless they go postal. Can they use it to protect their home? Nope. They would surely be prosecuted. Easy to paint as as psycho who used excessive force even in "self-defence". Swords used by the Samurai by guys obviously not from Samurai linage.
What about the civilian body count of Hiroshima, Nagasaki & the fire bombing campaigns? War is a terrible thing, period. I am not making lite of nor justifying war atrocities but creating a "scapegoat" is equally unethical & historically significant. Now I ask you, do you hear history calling? Thank you
This is gumdo, "korean sword art" koreans say that it has korean roots, others say that it`s a copy of japanese sword arts. Anyways, they use much thinner blades in tameshigiri and much lighter targets fot cutting. Those were not real tatami mats as you can see. Put all this together and you get a great show, but not something practical . The sword blades are to thin to be used in real battle against real armor. So this would not bee seen on a battlefield. Just fun entertainment.
Are these "gumdo" swords are very thin, with no shinogi and unbendable? As for blunted at the end WTF! Are they blatently copying japanese sword techniques using trick blades? eek! surely not?
Thanks....I already know all of this though. Check out this video for an amusing story about a legal battle that ensued about the origins of Kumdo... watch?v=hG6tqGGZW8Y

Those were no doubt the cleanest, smoothest cuts ive ever seen.. Amazing..
Been 11 years, is life going well?
Now this is some PRECISE swordsmanship.
Stable and straight cut , any sword of deviation as the sword slice through the tatami would cause the portion above to fall over.
This is decades of training in action.
10/10.
I thought at the end he was going to sheath his sword and all of the pieces that didn't fall would fall once his sword was fully sheathed
+Christopher Riley (BadAssScooterGuy) that was the joke.
i don't think this guys skills are far from anime swordmaster status.
"my sword has once again cut a useless thing"
best tameshigiri on youtube by far!
Awesome skills and control of the sword....and THIS blade cuts extremelly good-i would say perfect...better than any other i had ever seen before!!!!
Those are the perfect skills for a post zombie apocalypse scenario.
1:28 is just amazing. Years of hard training paying off is what we're seeing here.
素晴らしいスキル
Those idiots who put thumbs down don't realize the incredible art they just witness, nor how hard it is to cut this cleanly and leave it stacked like that.
These have got to be the cleanest cuts I have ever seen. And the sword is epic
What makes this even more amazing is that he did his whole performance with his eyes closed.
🤣
The cut that only available at movies now we can see the real one. Masyaallah
This IS the best and cleanest I have ever seen.What is the sword masters name Please? I would like to follow him on RUclips.
Amazing demonstration! What a sharp sword that must be to cut thru all 5 stacks, He doesn't even watch when he puts the sword away and still has all his fingers. WOW!
Fantastic. Great cutting and showmanship.
you cannot get batter than this
That is one nice looking katana
Wow! Very impressive. To cut through with speed and force, and have the cut pieces stay there and not fall....Excellent!
This man has great technigue, I can see how smooht and accurate he is easily. I used to do kendo my self also, but its bit different, still same techniques...
Bamboo mat: why is there Boss music playing?
Very nice enbu. I know personally only one person with these similary clean cuts. This keikokai is second. Whats name of this enbu performer?
cool
Straw mat: Am I really disconnected?
Best Tameshigiri I have ever seen
That is SCARY Sharp.
half right well not wrong at all but my understanding so fr is that when they are wet soaked for 2-3 days they are ment to have the same dencaty as a real arm or lim.
I think this is a haidong gumdo demonstration.
Because of the way he did the cutting and how his sword looked.
Only thing slower than the swordsmen is the camera man.

My cuts suffer greatly because I lack the patience to soak my tatami adequately.
...as do my blades.
2:31 "FINISH HIM!"
2:44 "Flawless victory!"
かっこいい！ 鮮やかな剣技です！ みき＆あず

very impressive and authentic! awesome performance.
No words..Amazing..
If you’ve ever cut tatami you know ho I amazing this guy is
man i only thought this was possible in movies...but i guess even in movies they eventually slide off...these dont...wtf
Hira zukuri blade and large, soft, grass mats. Easy for any martial artist.

He must be using real Nihonto...made by Japanese Master Swordsmith, Master Polisher..etc
Now imagine his Ban Kai
does the katana not originate from the development and expansion of two handed steel swords across china through korea, and then after to japan?

Is this a katana? Isn't this an atomic cutter?
Супер!
is it possible this blade doesnt have a traditional shinogi?
This blade is hira zukuri
I know one thing. I would do anything to have him teach me, so my cuts are that clean. =]

Nope. Its about him. His angle is so perfect, that his clean cuts doesnt send against makiwara vibrations/resistance.
