Hahahaha, RIGHT?! "I fight with two knives a lot." Right. During your nighttime career as Batman? When does this man "fight with two knives"?! And Cold Steel, yes, maybe That Random Swede and I should learn manners, but Lynn should learn portion control. For real. He gets out of breath just making two cuts, and when he swings low he has to spread his legs way apart so his big old belly can fit between them. I'm sure he's a great guy, and quite skilled with a sword, but if he's going to try to train people in an athletic endeavor, he should be athletic himself.
I neither made childish comments nor insults. I simply stated facts. Maybe the Batman comment was a little childish, but no more than the Cold Steel videos. I stated that he gets out of breath easily and that his stomach gets in the way. Those are facts supported by video evidence. He should, in fact, learn portion control. I would say the same thing to his face, but geography limits me. You'll notice I use my real name on RUclips, not a pseudonym. I'm not hiding behind anonymity. You can question my tact, but not my integrity. It would be shitty of me to call him out in person, but this is the RUclips comments section. Tact, manners, subtlety, those are all relics of the real world. If you post something on YT, you have to expect some bashing. To do otherwise is like going into a bar and being mad that a drunk guy bumped into you. Seriously, though, Lynn should lose weight. I know he couldn't care less about the opinions of peons like me as he counts his stacks of cash, but I'm sure his family would like him to be around a while longer. Obesity is known to cause a health problem or two.
That katana’s capacity to bend at 01:15 superbly demonstrates its ability to absorb shock. The sword being able to cut so well despite being so flexible is a testament to the craftsmanship.
I bought this Katana about 2 years ago. It is lighter an better balanced than the warrior swords. Simple yet gorgeous, and VERY functional. It really is my pride and joy.
Well, gardening can be very dangerous in my area. In all seriousness I would grab my gun in case of a break in, but this is an excellent sword for a martial artist. I have trained with this weapon and I can assure you it still works just as good as the old days.
+SnakeMGS88 For one, a gun is the weapon of a coward, not saying you are, but there is honor shooting your opponent, for another, a 9mm runs of ammo, and if you don't get the job done before that happens.....your j.w.f.
@@KevinGeaslin a katanas primary function is to cut. That is why it is curved. It CAN thrust but I dont recommend using it if you wanted to stab. Use a straighter sword with a nice point for a better thrust. Just because you can doesnt mean you should
Many kenjutsu kata end with a thrust, it was easier to thrust to an opening in the armor than try to slice through. Plus, the kissaki of a katana is reinforced to give the point stability@@TenkayKaze
+csknives I can see if he is a fan of fighting with a sword and a short sword or dagger, but two full swords is simply impractical in a fighting situation, as it would be very easy to control one or both swords.
In the medieval times can you imagine how the battles were fought? Definitely a well made and strong weapon like a mace, axe or a sword made the difference between life and death. Amazing!!
***** I used to train with a katana. Yes i have. 2 swords with a realistic weight will lose in a duel vs a 1 katana wielder that somewhat knows what he is doing. It is simlpy faster, more precise, and deadlier
Toshi i personally think using 2 swords could hold at one's disadvantage... you dont have as much force in the swing as you do double-wielding just one katana... but my master in kenjutsu was a 2 sword style user and he said it depends on the person. (by the way, my master has yet to be defeated in a 1v1 match)
I love how easy it is to get this channel's owner into an argument with you, they will directly respond to almost any criticism. It's quite sad really.
Fernando Sedillo have a look at yourself mate before you comment that crap. Even your girl doesn’t want it from your chubby looking McDonald’s burger bun
I spent 9 years training with a Katana and only 1 year training in HEMA and i find Longsword's a much better weapon by far, Not as much sheer cutting power but far more versatile and in the end deadlier.
Eh depends on the situation/enemy equipment at the end of the day it doesn't matter anyway since there are no real world activities which would require either of them any weapon can kill now days since nobody is protected or even armed anymore.

José Alexander Rosales Alcalde Completely unimaginable. Think about being born, bred and trained by the same sword for your entire life in an environment where the sword is the mightiest hand held weapon. How many people really have that today?
katana wasnt even close to other japanese weapons in terms of lethality. it is a glorified sidearm and nothing more. Its like in modern millitary. All soldiers are going through basic training and learn about the main issue rifles, but they get specializations in other weapons, equipment, vehicles etc. katanas were caried by everyone, but used rarely in combat
I always find these videos amusing because like.....you're doing things that any DECENT sword can also do, and passing it off as "look how amazing it is that our swords can do this"
Man this poor guy that's "overweight" getting so many ppl to bash down on him forgetting who he is a skilled martial artist who works in a company that makes wonderful weapons.. just wish I had money to buy one.. being poor sucks wish I was a CEO... could buy all the swords

So would I. With some salt, pepper, and paprika, and fried in lard at that. Plus, I approve this Katana. It’s not a real authentic Katana, but if Cold Steel’s Katanas are anything like their Machetes when it comes to durability. It mean they can take a hell of a lot of punishment.
not to totally nerd out here but they're all swinging completely wrong lol. the japanese did not swing with such force. rather, they would swing in the cleanest and straightest line and let the sharpness of the blade work its magic. i have never swung a katana nor will i ever but this is something i learned in medieval studies in uni.
Correct! Nearly all of those swings were way overpowered and if you saw the deflection drive them off course also bad swings and probably because way too much power was applied. Not trying to be a know it all I have made the same mistake myself even though I had been taught that before I tried it for myself
Yea, you're kinda right, moving like that you're gonna have a hip injury before you hurt somebody. Nevertheless, with the right technique the swing is actually way, waaay stronger than that, but you don't hit the surface, you slide the sword through it, in a devastating fast and strong move. There is a secret of the deadly ancient japanese martial arts, their "simple" movements hide a very precise technique of positions and speed that makes them incredibly powerful.
I just gotta say... after reading a few of the comments, it is admireable how cs knives responses to some of the really insulting comments! always calm and friendly. srsly. .. every 2. tool here calls the guy fat or lazy or even shizoprenic jesus.. they are only doing their Jobs you know. you can have a opinion on the quality of the product or the tests, but do you all really need to be such douche nozzles about it?
+SquirrelKnight I know, right!? And so what if the guy is fat... As if that means he has no other element of strength/fitness and can't fight or train in martial arts... I guess he'd be better off slimmer, but it's not EVERYTHING. Jesus.
Katana don't bend and go back to their shape, once bent they stay that way. Western swords have a more flexible steele which also wobbles when cutting. Traditionally a katana is way harder, which makes it easier to snap but also more forgiving in the cutting, the stiffness of the blade eliminates the wobble.
Just imagine how many katanas the americans stole after the war end. The biggest Japanese treasure, which never will be getting back or replaced by anything.
Between 1945 and 1953, Japan banned the ownership and construction of swords in their country. Very many of them were confiscated and destroyed. While I wouldn't consider it stealing since America and Japan were at war with each other and killing each other, I'd say the American aquired Katanas were at least bought by collectors who could preserve and appreciate them, rather than destroying them. Had they not been taken from dead soldiers, they would have just been confiscated by the Japanese government and destroyed anyway.
@@bluenecc Damn that is too bad. I guess the wet dream from rulers have allways been having the citizens disarmed. So that they can do what ever they want.

Shiribetsu First of all the word is "euthanizes", and PETA does this to put animals in pain/suffering/misery to death in the most HUMANE way as possible. To clarify this means they put the animal to death without pain. And they only do this to animals that have unpreventable conditions or conditions that will cause suffering in the future. You are essentially supporting brutal murder to millions of animals (domestic or not) worldwide anyways. So how the fuck would a humane way of this (for a good cause btw) possibly make you feel a sense of harm? Also please don't make mountain out of a grain of sand. You make it sound like every cow/pig/goat/sheep/chicken/cat/dog is euthanized everytime PETA comes across them. That's not the case, again they do this to animals that are in agony. If you haven't already, go vegan if you apparently give a damn for all lives.
Truc Nguyen first of all, who gives a fuck about typos I'm not stupid and second of all theyve stolen animals and euthanized them and have gotten them out of shelters including puppies and also killed them. These animals couldve been trained to save lives but have been wasted because of selfish acts like taking away their lives. Before you say any more bullshit, watch news clips about Peta and educate yourself you arrogant sociopath
Shiribetsu you're a hypocrite! How could you value the life of a house pet and make it seem as if you care about lives, but give absolutely no fucks about the *millions* of animals slaughtered on farms DAILY? It just doesn't add up. Send me a link of PETA intentionally killing a happy animal. In case you haven't processed it, they euthanize animals IN AGONY.
Only a non warrior would make such a racist comment. Last time I checked all humans have the necissary parts to train even though the paint job is different. Try to enlighten yourself.
the way they're swinging...makes me want to cry...if you're going to use all that money on forging a sword might as well pay someone who knows how to use a katana instead of having a bunch of guys around the office take turns
... sigh... well I have not seen any of your videos where you do this? First off these are not anywhere close to forged swords, they are production swords and are in the $400 range. And these people happen to be the owners, designers, and testers on the company Cold Steel. They may not be following traditional forms, and just using a lot of brute force, but they are all very well versed in martial arts, and the whole point of these videos is to show the capability of the sword, not the person behind it.
if they were "well versed" then they would know how to swing it correctly, and it doesn't matter if they're using traditional forms or not, swinging it correctly does show off the sword. if he swung it correctly he would've been able to go through that pig in one strike, and then i would've been impressed, but now i don't know how strong or sharp that sword actually is because they want to swing it like a bat. you don't show off a new guitar by having someone who has never played try and play it, you don't show off a new computer to someone who doesn't know how to use it, and the same goes for this. you don't show off a katana by having a bunch of people incorrectly swing it. it literally takes 3 seconds to learn how to swing it correctly, which just makes this all the more sad
... so you don't do any live blade practice of your own then. The point is that they are not really advertising to sword people, or at lest people who like to nit pick over technicality and historical accuracy. Any decently knowledged sword fan should look at a Cold Steel sword and see the POB and weight, and laugh, because these swords they make are practically baseball bats. If you are into proper swords man ship and practice, you start with a proper sword. Cold Steel makes over built tank swords, not the best for practicing proper martial arts. If you are into that you look at Cas Hanwei or Cheness or Dynasty Forge, and Albion to name a few.
i do practice with live blades, and i have multiple katanas. i never said anything about historical accuracy all i said is that if you're going to show off a sword you should at least swing it the right way to fully demonstrate its power.
just curious, what do you think is the "right way" to swing a sword? you act like they're doing it wrong, but how would you know unless you actually knew the "right way" to do it? the secret is there is no "right way" to do anything. and unless you can explain what is actually wrong with their swings, then you're full of shit. just saying "that's wrong" doesn't mean anything. anybody can say that. it's just a subtle brag to try and convince people that you're a master swordsman who spends all his time on youtube for some reason

Musashi Myamoto was "fat" as well, and look how well he did.
he is nog fat, he has belly muscles for a powerful swing
I guess you havent read the manga: Vagabond.
dont insult Musashi!
not to totally nerd out here but they're all swinging completely wrong lol. the japanese did not swing with such force. rather, they would swing in the cleanest and straightest line and let the sharpness of the blade work its magic. i have never swung a katana nor will i ever but this is something i learned in medieval studies in uni.
Correct! Nearly all of those swings were way overpowered and if you saw the deflection drive them off course also bad swings and probably because way too much power was applied. Not trying to be a know it all I have made the same mistake myself even though I had been taught that before I tried it for myself
As, you know, everything else?
@Holly T same way
Yea, you're kinda right, moving like that you're gonna have a hip injury before you hurt somebody. Nevertheless, with the right technique the swing is actually way, waaay stronger than that, but you don't hit the surface, you slide the sword through it, in a devastating fast and strong move. There is a secret of the deadly ancient japanese martial arts, their "simple" movements hide a very precise technique of positions and speed that makes them incredibly powerful.

Katana don't bend and go back to their shape, once bent they stay that way. Western swords have a more flexible steele which also wobbles when cutting. Traditionally a katana is way harder, which makes it easier to snap but also more forgiving in the cutting, the stiffness of the blade eliminates the wobble.
Interesting.
That's *alota damage*

“To show you the power of flex tape, I cut this pig in half!”
Just imagine how many katanas the americans stole after the war end. The biggest Japanese treasure, which never will be getting back or replaced by anything.
Xxx Xxx well it ain’t stolen if it was taken from a corpse...
Between 1945 and 1953, Japan banned the ownership and construction of swords in their country. Very many of them were confiscated and destroyed.
While I wouldn't consider it stealing since America and Japan were at war with each other and killing each other, I'd say the American aquired Katanas were at least bought by collectors who could preserve and appreciate them, rather than destroying them. Had they not been taken from dead soldiers, they would have just been confiscated by the Japanese government and destroyed anyway.

CSsteel when do and where do you fight with 2 blades. I think we all would love to see that.
Idk If this is the answer to your question, I couldn't understand what you said, But in the thai Machete Video They fought with 2 swords each.
Anthony Duarte its a back up sword or close quarter sword worn by samurai called wakizashi . its not that they were fighting with two swords. its also used for ritual suicide . you can also use it for shaving.
For seppukku a Tantou is used. Wakizashi is intended to be a one-handed weapon, normally worn by Samurai as how you said, a backup weapon.

Truc Nguyen Peta euthaizes more animals than the shelters, they want domestic animals wiped out. Go do your reasearch you animal killer
Shiribetsu First of all the word is "euthanizes", and PETA does this to put animals in pain/suffering/misery to death in the most HUMANE way as possible. To clarify this means they put the animal to death without pain. And they only do this to animals that have unpreventable conditions or conditions that will cause suffering in the future. You are essentially supporting brutal murder to millions of animals (domestic or not) worldwide anyways. So how the fuck would a humane way of this (for a good cause btw) possibly make you feel a sense of harm? Also please don't make mountain out of a grain of sand. You make it sound like every cow/pig/goat/sheep/chicken/cat/dog is euthanized everytime PETA comes across them. That's not the case, again they do this to animals that are in agony. If you haven't already, go vegan if you apparently give a damn for all lives.
Truc Nguyen first of all, who gives a fuck about typos I'm not stupid and second of all theyve stolen animals and euthanized them and have gotten them out of shelters including puppies and also killed them. These animals couldve been trained to save lives but have been wasted because of selfish acts like taking away their lives. Before you say any more bullshit, watch news clips about Peta and educate yourself you arrogant sociopath
Shiribetsu you're a hypocrite! How could you value the life of a house pet and make it seem as if you care about lives, but give absolutely no fucks about the *millions* of animals slaughtered on farms DAILY? It just doesn't add up. Send me a link of PETA intentionally killing a happy animal. In case you haven't processed it, they euthanize animals IN AGONY.

Damn is that American Kirito?!
His speech about the dual wielding swords made me cringe.
the way they're swinging...makes me want to cry...if you're going to use all that money on forging a sword might as well pay someone who knows how to use a katana instead of having a bunch of guys around the office take turns
... sigh... well I have not seen any of your videos where you do this?
First off these are not anywhere close to forged swords, they are production swords and are in the $400 range.
And these people happen to be the owners, designers, and testers on the company Cold Steel. They may not be following traditional forms, and just using a lot of brute force, but they are all very well versed in martial arts, and the whole point of these videos is to show the capability of the sword, not the person behind it.
if they were "well versed" then they would know how to swing it correctly, and it doesn't matter if they're using traditional forms or not, swinging it correctly does show off the sword. if he swung it correctly he would've been able to go through that pig in one strike, and then i would've been impressed, but now i don't know how strong or sharp that sword actually is because they want to swing it like a bat. you don't show off a new guitar by having someone who has never played try and play it, you don't show off a new computer to someone who doesn't know how to use it, and the same goes for this. you don't show off a katana by having a bunch of people incorrectly swing it. it literally takes 3 seconds to learn how to swing it correctly, which just makes this all the more sad
... so you don't do any live blade practice of your own then.
The point is that they are not really advertising to sword people, or at lest people who like to nit pick over technicality and historical accuracy. Any decently knowledged sword fan should look at a Cold Steel sword and see the POB and weight, and laugh, because these swords they make are practically baseball bats.
If you are into proper swords man ship and practice, you start with a proper sword. Cold Steel makes over built tank swords, not the best for practicing proper martial arts. If you are into that you look at Cas Hanwei or Cheness or Dynasty Forge, and Albion to name a few.
i do practice with live blades, and i have multiple katanas. i never said anything about historical accuracy all i said is that if you're going to show off a sword you should at least swing it the right way to fully demonstrate its power.
just curious, what do you think is the "right way" to swing a sword? you act like they're doing it wrong, but how would you know unless you actually knew the "right way" to do it? the secret is there is no "right way" to do anything. and unless you can explain what is actually wrong with their swings, then you're full of shit. just saying "that's wrong" doesn't mean anything. anybody can say that. it's just a subtle brag to try and convince people that you're a master swordsman who spends all his time on youtube for some reason
He may have a katana, but he can't chase me with those things with him.
