The athleticism and skill this takes is really impressive. Its great stunt work. And I bet that guy has phenomenal kata. And anyone who wants to talk shot about the screams? I wish my students had that spirit in thier kiai. But that sword is made of aluminum and weighs nothing. I can totally appriciate this for what it is. So long as it pretends to be no more that it is. Really cool hakama either way.
@@governmentghost01 They are not being high and mighty its funny to watch because its suppose to be for fun though the fact that you can win a championship based on flashy kata is ..... odd.
@kennethAllgeier Listen, dude. In a way, I'm really flattered that you liked this comment enough to copy it here, but this isn't a great way to use it. This was a direct response, a few down in a comment thread, to a set of specific and incorrect claims made by someone else. When you post it like this, sans-context, it reads like an unhinged street preacher or an r/IamVerySmart post. The comments here are filled with other people making the same general point; people claiming that XMA is meant for combat are in such a minority that they practically don't exist; and the uploader openly admits that "...XMA is for attributes not real combat." Whatever generalized message you might be able to pull from that quote loses all of it's persuasive power because it sounds like you're tilting at windmills and talking to yourself... in a sea of other people... tilting at the same windmills... and also talking to themselves...
this is the kind of martial arts that only Americans can figure out, only acrobatic and screaming like crazy, that's not even a real martial art, I bet when it gets tough they'll run away, if they're standing next to an MMA fighter they'll quickly realise that they won't get very far with screaming
Dollars to doughnuts those commenters never touched a sword in their life. I am a lifelong marital artist. This isn't traditional. No shit. It's not for sword fighting. No shit. Doesn't make this less athletic or impressive
This is an artistic expression kata, not a fight training kata. It is meant to be stylized and exaggerated. Different types of katas for different purposes.
@@reggiemorel4554 By your logic " artistic expression " cannot be be the correct definition of the Japanese word Kata . “The term “martial art” is thrown around a lot without any idea of its meaning. “Martial” means “war” or “conflict.” In a martial arts dojo we train for conflict. Without physical and psychological conflict there is no “martial” in martial art. Fear, to be overcome, must be confronted and experienced. Fear must become part of your life experience. Appreciation of fear and the appropriate reaction when confronting fear is the sign of a mature martial artist. Are not your dojo mates and teacher the ones that you should ultimately trust when learning to confront your fears? In a real dojo, they are. Remember that most people who call themselves martial artists are nothing of the sort. Most dojos are not martial arts dojos either. They are glorified social clubs thriving in an environment of emotional stimulation which is heightened by a false or extremely limited perception of danger. When real danger shows itself in such a dojo, the participants run for cover. In a real dojo the participants run towards the conflict” Yukiyoshi Takamura, Takamura-ha Shindo Yoshin-ryu

I bet the people in this comment section are really fun at parties
This gave my Iaido class a good chuckle
I am glad youvand your class were entertained
It's for fitness and fun, no reason to act so high and mighty. Good luck with becoming a samurai or w/e you're doing though 😂

Wow such a long winded diatribe to say you don't like XMA! Again XMA is for attributes not real combat.

Great!!!
Everyone in the comments:🤓
fi you dont throw it around and do flips, do you have no chance at 1st place?
Nop. But that's cuz this division requires flips and twirls. There ate no flip divisions 2.
This division yeah but not all divisions for normal creative forms as far as I know they will take points off if you do flips like that
This dude rules.
A video of a man wielding a knife while screaming in excitement.
Is this casting for a Power Rangers movie? 😂😂😂

Found a ton of brainless, worthless haters in the comments, this guy's performance is spot on!
Fa real, fuck the haters, this Guy has skills

Bunch of wanna be samurais. All "laido" schools are like this. They breed egotism even though they look exactly the same 😂
Bc it’s just “show” it’s not practicle at all when in a real fight would u flip the sword.
anyone know what the tricking move at 0:43 is
I think it’s a rise
So is this supposed to be Iaido?
No
No, its supposed to be XMA, which it is.
AAAAHHHHHHHH
AYAAAAAAHHHH
yeah way to much..
AAAAAAHHHHHH
Don’t lose your grip
Cut down soo many times😂
Sickening circus performance.
Nice cheerleader routine !!! \(o_o)/ huaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! (The boy with cosplay)
KATANA is don't toys.
What the name is martial arts?
XMA (Xtreme Martial Arts) or ATA Xtreme
Its called Bullshido
@@alsanjuro Its called Performance
This isn´t a real martial art, it could be a routine with screams
@@alsanjuro it isn´t Bushido.
These videos always make my Sensei laugh! Iaido is a discipline, this is not
No wonder why. This is ridiculous.
Sport Karate is different. That gentleman trained under David Walter in Yagyu Iaido
@@ChophouseSanford Question , what is " sport Karate" is it based on Shuri-te , Naha-Te , Tomari -Te ? thank you
Jugglers/ acrobats … what’s new ?
Juggler and acrobatics. That's new martial arts. Performative of course. What is the point of your comment exactly?
it's annoying. it's all SHOUT
Totally useless in real life
Lol this gymnastics bullshit isn't sword kata. A legitimate Koryu Kenjutsu person would cut you down in a heartbeat if you tried this bullshit on them
This is a performance
