Replicating the moves of a game character is incredibly difficult because they are not bound by real physics. Yet you pulled it off incredibly well. Most impressive! In my eyes your honor is intact. Thank you for presenting your skills in the face of such a challenge. Arigato, Uchikado-san.
You did a great job, about running part i think he keeps his head down to dodge the arrows, same think in modernwar keeping you head lower to avoid getting shot in the head
When the one guy who did the Spearbreaker combo said his kick wasn't as good as he wanted. That was about as perfect a roundhouse type kick I've ever seen. These guys must strive for true perfection.
The fact these guys are still critiquing their movements just shows how dedicated they are to their art. It's easy to watch and say 'I can do that.' these two are experts and they're still finding ways to improve or perfect the style.

The combat in this game is so satisfying because you feel the impact of the blade. It doesn’t just ghost thru the enemy, it gets stuck and has to be pulled out.
This is a really good approach to this kind of "experts react." Games aren't reality, things are going to be exaggerated for readability, or changed for balance, so having martial artists whose focus is on acting and performance try these from a performance perspective is very refreshing and acknowledges those differences, because similar differences also exist when exaggerating martial arts for readability or narrative in TV or film.
I second this. Some months ago I watched two architects complain about building in The Sims instead of enjoying the creative freedom a video game offers. And while some things are grounded in reality, most of the time media is nothing more than entertainment. If it was always "realistic", there would be no need to play a game, I could just go out and do it myself. Watching non-gamers suck the fun out of that idea makes me wary. But absolutely, these guys made the video both educational and fun, acknowledging the truths and the exaggerations equally without getting attitudes about it. Overall good vibes with people talking about the things they're passionate about.

I love how this expert recreated the moves on the ground that's filled with little rocks. Must be hard enough not to fall moving so fast, let alone performing moves. Respect!!
True, even though some, if not most of the footage is speed up, so it could line up with the game-movements, they were still doing complex, and wonderful techniques. I'm not a martial expert, but I understand that the environment also affects how well someone fight, as well as their experience and physical merits. If you are able to fight normally on ground that is just a bunch of tiny rocks, then you got an (maybe) extremely good sense of balance. In short, I'm glad that they enjoyed doing it, and if they're hoping to get a role in the movie that is being made(first time I've heard of it tbh), well I hope they also get a role.
I know this was two years ago but in the off chance you see this: 9:00 the reason you see him duck his head and shoulders down like that is so he has greater protection against arrows while wearing his armor. An iron mask is useful, but the face is still the weakest part of samurai armor.
Thats dead on lol! Your comment is perfect. Cause it's true 😆 most samurai are competitive in combat cause it helps elevate them to a higher level of performance and it was the one way to prove to the leader that they deserved the best rank in their province... Not to mention, it would be hilarious being a warrior back then and hearing 2 samurai talking trash to each other after a battle... Haha!
"Could have done better." It's true, they could have if they did more practice with the moves or in general. That's what makes them amazing. They had reached such a high skill level and continue to pursue refined technique beyond that with humility. It's admirable.
Man when he's saying that Im thinking "OKAY Maybe that WOULDNT Take out a Big Armoured bruiser Mongolian with a Shield and Spear and so on thats been raping pillaging and murdering one's people during 1200s or whatever, BUT to The People Watching him on the internet........

Toru: Kills 500 men with 5 swipes, perfectly doges a thousand arrows and destroys half a continent Toru: “I think the move is great but I was sloppy” I fear Toru’s true power
@@shamsahmad8700 That's actually what they do with the mocapped moves. The performance actors make the movements at slower pace, then the developers will tweak the speed of the movements for the final game
For the piercing strikes, keeping the blade sideways does indeed prevent the blade from being trapped by the body. I learned this my first year studying under sensei Jeff Marsten. Particularly when stabbing to the abdomen and the abdominal wall, with any blade, in fact, the abdominal muscles contract and flex, and will clench down on the blade, making it hard to withdraw if you have stabbed with the blade positioned up and down, but piercing sideways prevents this as the flexing of muscle causes the blade to cut further preventing your blade from being trapped by your opponent's body.
It can also be a factor with the ribcage. The width of the blade, front to back, is bigger than the gap between ribs. Having the blade sideways decreases the likelihood it deflect off a rib, or if it does, it will be more likely to deflect up or down into a gap rather than to the outside.
That head-down and shaking while running during the running slash is what football players call 'keeping your head on a swivel' Jin is looking behind him on each side for pursuers, much like a player running with the football would whole trying to avoid tacklers
I think Jin is using his kinetic vision a lot, which is why he often faces his head oddly or faces to the side. It's basically keeping your eyes relatively unfocused and centered, and using the corners of your eyes/vision to watch for movement. It's like keeping your vision wide instead of focusing down on specific parts and narrowing your vision (tunnel vision). The only reason I think this is because I use my kinetic vision a lot too, mainly because my eye muscles are weak and is essentially stuck forward (I can't look to the corner of my eyes). If I wanna look to the sides or behind me I have to swing my head that way. I use my kinetic vision a lot while walking and when looking behind me.
I know I'm replying to a dead thread but that's exactly what I do when driving, makes me so much more aware of my surrounding while not being focused on one spot
It's used a lot when hunting or in the military. One exercise people use to develop it is to hold their hands all the way out to the side, then slowly bring them together and stop when they can just barely be seen in the peripheral vision. When someone has practiced this at random several times a day every day for a while, the next step is to randomly stop periodically and without moving the eyes, move your head left and right as slowly as possible. tl;dr it's a useful skill that people spend a lot of time training. I naturally do it anyway because I not only have terrible eyesight, I also have Asperger's which makes me very uncomfortable when I look directly at people.
@@asahearts1 Ah, yes. For some reason, I too am uncomfortable looking directly at people, so I usually end up just facing their way and looking at something else. This is probably why I'm very bad at remembering faces (coz I barely look at them lol)
@@ferofax In the case of people on the spectrum it's also that we have less working memory and our brains don't really pick up on faces as something important to remember to begin with.
You should check out wushu from China. Looks very nice, although it's worthless in an actual fight. Japanese swordsmanship is among the best in the world.
@@loulavillena9896 I've heard of that (martial) art. if I recall correctly Kali is actually based off of the original Filipino art known as Arnis and now the three terms are used mostly as a blanket term for that style of martial arts. at current time it is mostly just stick-fighting and thus one might have heard of the "escrima" stick.
You guys keep saying need more practice need more practice, moves isn't perfect etc. Well for the average guys 99% of all of us all of this looks pretty flawless, we couldn't tell a difference.
Well if you look closely then they are right, they need more practice and the moves arent perfect. But to give them some credit, you would need a lot of muscle stength control just to copy the animation.
There might be a lot of mistakes that only true masters can see. Even small things like moving your foot a little too sideways can result in a big blunder. So let's trust the pros when they say that they still need practice!
@The Joker it's humility not ego lol, they even say they could have done better, they trying to always get better no matter how good they did that thing, completely opposite lol
Whoever the original motion capture actor was had a high degree of skill. These two actors did a fantastic job in their performance of these techniques. Well done.
9:36 the reason Jin looks behind himself is to, as you stated earlier, remain aware of his surroundings and he will generally only do this if you've changed weapons, used weapons or dismounted your horse recently.
I can't think of a SINGLE instance where this information will ever be of use to me, however, none the less I am extremely happy I watched this masterpiece! Very well done!
So many little details, when fighting on sand ever slide of the foot and each foot print is captured, looking back after a fight you can see where you did each move.
After that “award show” it finalized for me that awards mean nothing in the entertainment industry. Emmy Awards, GOTY Awards. They’re all meaningless. It’s just a glorified commercial made by biased and bribed judges

@@josephmoore9706 forreal bro, im on xbox but the gameplay for Ghost exceeded all my expectations. ESPECIALLY as an original game and not a sequel or remake
Does anyone else notice how their "heavenly strike" and their "Dance Of Wrath" is literally identical to that of the game... how did they imitate the exact speed of Jin Sakai... Respect...
The Heavenly Strike footage was sped up for the purpose of the side-by-side comparison. I don't think that much speed from a standstill is humanly possible. The Dance of Wrath looks like it could be real time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was sped up a little. Not trying to say it wasn't impressive, this video is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time, I had no idea how realistic and accurate this game was.
A lot of them actually look sped up for side by side comparison, it's still impressive though, moving that fast is pretty much impossible for an actual human.
@@Livi2112 I don't think it's sped up for the side by side comparation as they haven't done that for the medieval swordsmen video. They sped it up to make it look like the game ie unrealistically fast. Looked cool.
@@okawakurosaki5593 Well that's kinda what I'm saying. Without speeding it up it would look a lot different, they're making it the same speed as the game so it can be compared, and don't looks cool like you said.
Usually those places have 0 armor cause that's where the joints are located and it severely restricts movement otherwise. So as that meme goes "it's free real estate" for a swordsman to aim for
I know right... I'm getting nervous just thinking of me getting sliced in the armpit. It has to hurt a lot since there are multiple nerves in thar area and it's a surefire way of incapacitating that arm.
Joints are the bullseye for swordsmen, the unarmored, sensitive spot that renders even a little muscle movement critical to the enemy if their joint is wounded.
I love Kaz, the way he moves they way he uses that blade it's so automatic.. this man would have been a savage on the battlefield, in those days. I wish I could train with him in person... much respect Sensei 🙏🏽
@@bcnicholas123 To be fair, the moves they are doing in the video are samurai. not about ninja techniques, this guy said they are moving like irl ninja, even they were trying to do samurai techniques.
I attempted this at home with some tree branches like i did as a kid. To make a long story short, heed the don't try this at home messages, cuz u may bonk urself on the head like i did
So, I've been binge watching the expert videos and it is CRAZY how well these experts can recreate all of these moves. The level of developed skill is insane.
See for us weaklings it looks flawless but I assume in the higher ranks they observe even the slightest of mistakes, just like when a smart person is surrounded by other smart people they feel average or heck even below average, I think it is the same case here, he is better than 99 percent of us but in his eyes he is average
@@mathijsrikken no need for that. They can speak Japanese and we need subs. KDrama is getting popular now even actors/actresses speak Korean not English
I love watching experts and theater/film guys break down stuff like this. It's also really cool to see them actually replicate moves that are stitched together by software.

Thats dead on lol! Your comment is perfect. Cause it's true 😆 most samurai are competitive in combat cause it helps elevate them to a higher level of performance and it was the one way to prove to the leader that they deserved the best rank in their province... Not to mention, it would be hilarious being a warrior back then and hearing 2 samurai talking trash to each other after a battle... Haha!
The fact he managed to kill a creature that is immune to all of mankind's weaponry. Written in the lore. That is pretty scary.
Impossible
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how the younger warrior gives praise and appreciates his older one ❤
"Could have done better."
It's true, they could have if they did more practice with the moves or in general. That's what makes them amazing. They had reached such a high skill level and continue to pursue refined technique beyond that with humility. It's admirable.
The want for more power does the same thing
@@Kickinthescience Did someone say power?

@Malik Kerry-Muhammad yes
That's the kind of person I dream of marrying one day. That kind of dedication and mental fortitude is very admirable.
Man when he's saying that Im thinking "OKAY Maybe that WOULDNT Take out a Big Armoured bruiser Mongolian with a Shield and Spear and so on thats been raping pillaging and murdering one's people during 1200s or whatever, BUT to The People Watching him on the internet........
MOST OF US THINK
"NO WAY Bro He Looks JUST LIKE JIN!"
because most of us know fookall about Swordsmanship/Kendo/Etc. to the standards of Samurai that DONT Die on a Beach where EVERY Samurai Died... because of Yuna whom, man- I'll be a little shocked if they dont Die together or Marry by the end of game after we BECOME the REAL Storm that Drives the Mongolians away, which I think is where a Lot of the lore about Sakai's blade etc come from...
I mean isnt the truth that it was JUST the Storm that ruined things and PROBABLY Mongolian internal socio/geopolitical whatevers back home so they just thought "Man this is a BAD Storm and we Robbed a LOT and had fun lets go back home and Hope the Khan doesnt Kill us!" or whatever...
But IM LOVING the storymode and Im Here because of trying to determine whether or not the deluxe horse is better or just Whatever Colour I want and Im concerned I wont be able to name him the same as the first horse because I liked Kage...
Man they get us emotional over fictional horses from an alternate telling of a horrible war...
If in reality there was a Resistance group of Samurai using Ninja style tactics and other things that were considered Dishonourable previously I wouldnt be disappointed at all and Man is it a better story and Myth for stuff that COULDVE been used to Help train generations if they were speaking of a Legendary Warrior that Refused to Die Rescues his Uncle and so on then does ALL this other wild Impossible "only a Videogame Character could Do That!" kinda stuff.... that makes me think "WHAT NO WAY MY HORSE DIES FROM 2 ARROWS WHEN IVE JUMPED OFF FOOKIN MOUNTAINS WITH HIM AND HES GOTTEN UP FINE No need for Medicines or Rest JUST Gets Up Runs me to whereever EVEN While Getting Slashed Hit with Flaming or explosive arrows etc BUT 2 Arrows WITHOUT POISONS Get him when the NO NAME Replacement horse Ive got STILL Lives getting hit by my Poisons that KIll everyone and disable Jin?
aghh I need to calm down and Decide Which Horse AFTER Finding out FOR SURE that Deluxe Edition Horse is JUST that one Colour because Otherwise Id Have used and named different horses differently and with different names you know???
But I bet more than half the people not expecting our horse to get merced by Uncle's men PROBABLY Felt somewhat Similarly....
Man Now I wanna learn some Iaido..... when I order Either Shusui or Enma on the internet and get it THEN I'll begin training some Iaido stuff after the basic Kendo is known enough...
Anyone else Ever wonder how the hell so many characters with amazing Iai skills do Such Immensely Powerful ONE SLASH Kill Attacks and RESHEATH and in an Anime the Blade is in the Scabbard their some Colourful Movement and a Head Flying and the Swords ALREADY Back in the scabbard you know?
Id Be TERRIFIED to Attempt Slashing and Returning the blade to the sheathe at such speed cause ONE thing throwing off movement and Im stabbing my hand or breaking the sword scabbard or something... Maybe I shouldnt order a cheap anime imitation katana to practice Iaido......
(someone irritated by a part of my comment or that its longer than Twitter allows Is gonna tell me I should do it anyway and lose hands anyway EVEN THOUGH Im probably meant to lose limbs anyway thanks to the SuperDiabeetus from the Bad MMRVax from 19 years ago to be allowed to go to highschool which I think also changed how my brain operated and helped shut down my endocrine function but not like Im gonna say that 5HT2a agonists could be used to better treat AT LEAST Type 2 Diabetes or general Insulin Resistance etc. just becase it helped me lose weigh regain ability to see certain colours from self training and other stuff to do with neuropsychopharmacology and trying to Not Die, since I, LIKE MOST, am not keen on the Drug Companies murdering me thing but THEY Kinda ALREADY SoftKilled me so what does it matter when theyre already dropping new bioweaponised viral whatevers on the world so it feels like Human Civilisation has Already lost to a functionally "Internazi World Government" being run from people conspiring as Globalists to Abuse the powers of UNWHO, but man I wonder How long anyone will even be allowed to read any of this hehehe Man "Fook the world government!" man... Seriously... They're like Mongolians on Tsushima Except using more Advanced Tech and PsyOps style means and biowarfare etc.... and Now EVERYTHING SUCKS Besides a FEW Manga basically.... and Even with manga Sales are down cause of how most Printed Literature is now Forced to only be digital and so on... Now I've said too much... Excuse me...)
And it does Feel cold to the Replacement Horse cause why couldnt I just Call them to me and Tell her "This Horse, its Learnt a lot since you lent him to me... Thank you, I'll Keep em..." or IS that The Black horse with a better Saddle now? AGH... and Why Does Deluxe Horse Look the SAME as the Last one I had?? Just a Knockoff of My Kage...
I shouldve named the FIST Nobu and the Second Kage to be Symbolic if I KNEW the First was gonna be Murdered....

@@ScientistCat 😳
They're all incredible recreations, but can we talk about Kazu's roll for a second? That roll was _clean_
I cant believe how identical some of those recreations were!
yeah the spinning atack was perfectly executed
Because the moves in the game are from motion capture , that's why they are "doable" , also devs used real swordsmen for motion capture
Its sped up at certain times to match up with the gameplay
@@shamsahmad8700 That's actually what they do with the mocapped moves. The performance actors make the movements at slower pace, then the developers will tweak the speed of the movements for the final game
Ghost of tsushima is just unmatchable when it comes to samurai game

I would say Sekiro but nah it takes a more fantasy and Shinobi route
For the piercing strikes, keeping the blade sideways does indeed prevent the blade from being trapped by the body. I learned this my first year studying under sensei Jeff Marsten. Particularly when stabbing to the abdomen and the abdominal wall, with any blade, in fact, the abdominal muscles contract and flex, and will clench down on the blade, making it hard to withdraw if you have stabbed with the blade positioned up and down, but piercing sideways prevents this as the flexing of muscle causes the blade to cut further preventing your blade from being trapped by your opponent's body.
It can also be a factor with the ribcage. The width of the blade, front to back, is bigger than the gap between ribs. Having the blade sideways decreases the likelihood it deflect off a rib, or if it does, it will be more likely to deflect up or down into a gap rather than to the outside.
That head-down and shaking while running during the running slash is what football players call 'keeping your head on a swivel'
Jin is looking behind him on each side for pursuers, much like a player running with the football would whole trying to avoid tacklers
That gives nausea
It was a military saying. Football referenced it later, but yes it does mean to watch your surroundings
The best part of this videos is looking at people actually enjoying creating content. These two are definitely having a blast with these moves.
I think Jin is using his kinetic vision a lot, which is why he often faces his head oddly or faces to the side. It's basically keeping your eyes relatively unfocused and centered, and using the corners of your eyes/vision to watch for movement. It's like keeping your vision wide instead of focusing down on specific parts and narrowing your vision (tunnel vision).
The only reason I think this is because I use my kinetic vision a lot too, mainly because my eye muscles are weak and is essentially stuck forward (I can't look to the corner of my eyes). If I wanna look to the sides or behind me I have to swing my head that way. I use my kinetic vision a lot while walking and when looking behind me.
I know I'm replying to a dead thread but that's exactly what I do when driving, makes me so much more aware of my surrounding while not being focused on one spot
It's used a lot when hunting or in the military. One exercise people use to develop it is to hold their hands all the way out to the side, then slowly bring them together and stop when they can just barely be seen in the peripheral vision. When someone has practiced this at random several times a day every day for a while, the next step is to randomly stop periodically and without moving the eyes, move your head left and right as slowly as possible. tl;dr it's a useful skill that people spend a lot of time training. I naturally do it anyway because I not only have terrible eyesight, I also have Asperger's which makes me very uncomfortable when I look directly at people.
@@asahearts1 Ah, yes. For some reason, I too am uncomfortable looking directly at people, so I usually end up just facing their way and looking at something else. This is probably why I'm very bad at remembering faces (coz I barely look at them lol)
@@ferofax In the case of people on the spectrum it's also that we have less working memory and our brains don't really pick up on faces as something important to remember to begin with.
Not really he just moves his head cuz that's where your looking with the joystick
Who would’ve thought that handling a dangerous weapon could look so graceful and beautiful.
You should check out wushu from China. Looks very nice, although it's worthless in an actual fight. Japanese swordsmanship is among the best in the world.
Ikr
uuh me maybe
kali or eskrima in philippine use dagger ir knife it was use by real soldiers
@@loulavillena9896 I've heard of that (martial) art. if I recall correctly Kali is actually based off of the original Filipino art known as Arnis and now the three terms are used mostly as a blanket term for that style of martial arts. at current time it is mostly just stick-fighting and thus one might have heard of the "escrima" stick.
Feels like hearing a smart classmate with 99 score on their test said:
"i could do better"
The sheer discipline these guys demonstrate, unbelievable. Every move is perfectly choreographed. Incredible.
The guy with the black & claret red kimono is really doing a great job.
His movements are on point.
True he is absolutely on point
These guys were freaking insane. Please tell me others were blown away with how good their movement was?
Yup. Just Loved it.
The video got 100X more fun when they started doing moves TOGETHER. I love it!
Me after watching how hard it is to execute GOT moves : I will now perform a move called *seppuku*
Rest in peace bro
Solid Zex in afterlife. "hmm... I was able to do it but it looks a little sloppy. I can probably do it better."
@@o4komodo Lmao that is a good one.
Seppuku is actually hard to do, too
@@solidzex8627 how the fuck are you alive
You guys keep saying need more practice need more practice, moves isn't perfect etc. Well for the average guys 99% of all of us all of this looks pretty flawless, we couldn't tell a difference.
Japanese are diligent 😂 need to master even washing rice..
Well, if you dont wash the rice properly, someone could get sick.
@@maapaa2010 i choked on my saliva
Well if you look closely then they are right, they need more practice and the moves arent perfect. But to give them some credit, you would need a lot of muscle stength control just to copy the animation.
There might be a lot of mistakes that only true masters can see. Even small things like moving your foot a little too sideways can result in a big blunder. So let's trust the pros when they say that they still need practice!
5:14...Kazu held his sword differently than the game move.
7:20..wow...that looked really cool, Toru 😎👍
These guys could beat the absolute crap outta me and they say they looked ok.
and they would've say "I could've done it better"
@The Joker anyone who's seen Breaking Bad knows this to be true.
Plotwist: anyone could beat the absolute crap outta you
You could burn anyone around you lol.
@The Joker it's humility not ego lol, they even say they could have done better, they trying to always get better no matter how good they did that thing, completely opposite lol
“I look pretty good”
Mane you know you look perfect
Whoever the original motion capture actor was had a high degree of skill.
These two actors did a fantastic job in their performance of these techniques.
Well done.
The triple spin move was sick 👌 the new guy just sounds like a typical master 😅
I am surprised he didn't feel dizzy
Can we just take a moment to appreciate these fine gentleman's sense of humor when they took turns being the enemy? XD
loved the red kimono guys death
9:36 the reason Jin looks behind himself is to, as you stated earlier, remain aware of his surroundings and he will generally only do this if you've changed weapons, used weapons or dismounted your horse recently.
Plot Twist: They're auditioning for the upcoming Ghost of Tsushima movie
Even better
Plot twist. They were the motion actors from the actual game.
Plot twist: The game is based on them
Plot twist: they were Ghost of Tsushima characters running live on the ps5.
Don't know how this got into my recommendation, but I glad that it did.

The combat system in this game is so incredible, it feels so raw and fluid cutting people down.

They must set an example for there people.
Well.... They are japanese?

I was thinking about it bro haha

Happy to see Ghost of Tsushima is getting all the praise it deserves.
Their moves are faster than my internet wtf
Bruh
😂 same dude
I think they speed up their moves to make it like the game lol
Whoosh
This got me
I can't think of a SINGLE instance where this information will ever be of use to me, however, none the less I am extremely happy I watched this masterpiece!
Very well done!
I know one instance, when you train in Iaido, if you're not then this your sign to do so lol
I think you can actually do a COLLATERAL with these swords. Probably even a wallbang.
You can 100% collateral with certain moves if they are close enough. Once got one with a perfect parry.
I prefere a gangbang instead of a wallbang.

I love the little detail how jin looks behind him, Game was amazing and you guys absolutely killed the moves
So many little details, when fighting on sand ever slide of the foot and each foot print is captured, looking back after a fight you can see where you did each move.

Thank you for demonstrating the several techniques that Jin can use! Very well done and I am in awe of your balance skills!
Does anyone else notice how their "heavenly strike" and their "Dance Of Wrath" is literally identical to that of the game... how did they imitate the exact speed of Jin Sakai... Respect...
The Heavenly Strike footage was sped up for the purpose of the side-by-side comparison. I don't think that much speed from a standstill is humanly possible. The Dance of Wrath looks like it could be real time, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was sped up a little.
Not trying to say it wasn't impressive, this video is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time, I had no idea how realistic and accurate this game was.
A lot of them actually look sped up for side by side comparison, it's still impressive though, moving that fast is pretty much impossible for an actual human.
@@Livi2112 I don't think it's sped up for the side by side comparation as they haven't done that for the medieval swordsmen video. They sped it up to make it look like the game ie unrealistically fast. Looked cool.
@@okawakurosaki5593 Well that's kinda what I'm saying. Without speeding it up it would look a lot different, they're making it the same speed as the game so it can be compared, and don't looks cool like you said.
Not sure how you missed it being sped up
him: cutting armpit is very effective because there are alot of nerves running there and its really hard to stop the bleeding
me: 😱😱😱
Also it is usually less armored, if at all. You’ll find kill strikes at them in most sword manuals
Usually those places have 0 armor cause that's where the joints are located and it severely restricts movement otherwise. So as that meme goes "it's free real estate" for a swordsman to aim for
I know right... I'm getting nervous just thinking of me getting sliced in the armpit. It has to hurt a lot since there are multiple nerves in thar area and it's a surefire way of incapacitating that arm.
Joints are the bullseye for swordsmen, the unarmored, sensitive spot that renders even a little muscle movement critical to the enemy if their joint is wounded.
Right..? Just hearing that makes me cringe. Eugh.
I love Kaz, the way he moves they way he uses that blade it's so automatic.. this man would have been a savage on the battlefield, in those days. I wish I could train with him in person... much respect Sensei 🙏🏽
