Thanks to DarkSide Blues for bringing this to my attention.
Bebwb Bsbsbsb the fuck is wrong with you?
I just bought a real sword, now I just gotta learn how to use it
Hidde -XIIX-, absolute beginners usually start with a bokken or shinai then graduate to a real sword once they get more skilled and confident. Starting with a real, sharpened, sword isn't a good idea because you have greater risk of injuring yourself because you don't know what you are doing. Also joining a dojo is a good idea because you can learn properly from certified instructors who can critique your technique and you have trained partners to spar with.
Hey can u please teach me my name is adam
your videos are the only ones helping me learn how to spin my saber!! thank you!
I know this video is older, but thank you so much for making these as they are really inspiring. I can’t for the life of me get the hang of the figure 8 though, not sure what I can do differently
Thank you so much for helping me. I'm going to need it for my anime cosplay.
You're great at teaching. Very well-spoken and good at explaining things. I shall practice what you teach, sensei! ^^
Thanks, this really helped. We had a lockdown in our school and the intruder nearly came into our classroom. I shooed him away by doing this classic sword move. Once again, thanks to you.
Very unfunny.
Hasini Addanki pokas piersi
I@@wiesiekczyzewski6692 Idk what that means
@@caderaid441 Good job.
And what kind of weapon did you use? A fokin ruler?
I hit the subscription button. You say you're not an expert but you are more knowledgeable than most of the people on the internet. Congratulations. I"m learning this because my wrists and fingers are damaged and I need physical therapy. This has been great. My wrists are getting stronger and more flexible. It's also fun. Thank you.
OMG Shes the best you'll or we'll ever have as a teacher yay!!!!
Honestly just want to thank you so much! I'm dying to get into more extreme martial arts forms but unfortunately there aren't local clubs so I'm trying to self teach at home with a training sword and all your videos are actually the only way I'm making it happen! Your videos really break it all down and I'm able to do tricks super fast that I couldn't even do at all last week!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻⚔️🖤
Thank you very much! I enjoy your videos and they are on a very good gradient
Dude I don't own any swords so I've been using a meter stick I borrowed from science class XDXD
thank you SO SO much for these videos. your katana videos are actually the only ones on whole youtube that help me learn. :D
thank you, ShinobiCAT! I'm a bellydancer trying to incorporate some dramatic moves into my solo dance with double swords, and your videos are GREAT!!! I needed some showy, crowd-pleasing, theatrical moves, and yours are perfect for me. Your explanations are detailed and simple to follow, so I can understand and repeat them. (plus, your cat Jack is a doll)
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! Really cool you are, much helpfull you are ;)
Thanks so much!
Thank you!!!! Love your tutorials!!! It's pretty hard for me coz I'm using a real sword but it's blunt and it's getting heavier every time I use it. :P Anyway, thank you
when I do it quickly, it looks like I'm drawing a fish.
Freaking sweet. Please post more
+Santiago Guzman I'm on it! :)
I suggest Full Tang 440 Steel to prevent bending the blade. Wrap hilt with tennis racquet grip tape to prevent blisters after prolonged spinning.
Thank you ShinobiCAT, love your vids. Planning on making a Bada** sword when I grow up, and I need to master it.
Thank you so much ! :)
What’s funny is I just learned I’ve been doing this ever since I’ve cared about learning things like this I didn’t know what I was doing but I added it on so it looked like I knew what I was doing I guess I kinda did because I just found out I knew from the start
Your very helpful, thank you so much!
Thanks its very helping me
best videos for not that smart and skilful person like me :)
Way cool!
You're very pretty and cool. Thanks for the awesome vid.
If I use a broomstick, will it be easier when i get a actual confortable sword?
Crazy Gamer It would depend on the difference in length and weight. Heavier will be more difficult, and longer might be difficult if your broom is very short. But if your broom is very long then a shorter blade might be easier. It'll really just depend. Good luck!
Thank you! That really helped!
It's a lot harder for me but im still practicing.. I have a steel 2 hand grip katana
Benson Su please be careful with a steel sword
Trying this with a 3kg and 102cm katana. It's pretty dam hard, I really don't understand how your movements are flowing like that because after one hour of repeating slowly what are you doing in your video I still can't do this properly. The most difficult part for me is the change of direction when you bring the sword back and you try to do a forward. The forward is not a problem, but I can't do this properly, or just like you did in your video.
Any suggestions?
+~Haricho Try doing the whole thing without a forward spin in there. So, start with bringing the sword across your body as shown at 1:22 instead of starting with the spin. Then bring the sword back as shown at 1:40, but instead of bringing it back into a forward spin just a really wide, exaggerated loop. Practice doing a huge figure eight like that for a while then gradually make it smaller. You might find that you'll add in the forward spin naturally without meaning to. I hope this helps!
You are awesome I like cats and Star Wars
How about you go and learn iaido and not this fake shit. You are going to hurt yourself with a metal sword, the child is using a plastic sword.
@@darksideblues135 I learned with a steel one hand sword and I got good with it because of these videos, so stfu
Hidde -XIIX- well, I’m actually trained in a real martial art and this stuff can get you hurt, so stfu.
Just learned it tonight... I can haz chizburger?
you are really cool
indeed
Nice! Thanx!
Does anyone know what this type of activity is named like I’ve been searching for sword fighting and stuff but I’m not sure I want to learn how to do this for defense and for cosplay
If you try it with a real katana, it's really difficult considering the amount of weight.
Thank you, Captain Obvious (sorry I had to :P)
nice dear
Cool
I do this with my keyboard.
brava 👻
Great
Please stop subtitles
May I ask why there are people who don't know how to do this
JJL85 Gaming May I ask if you know how to do this why are you on this video??
@@Tkkisses maybe they learnt it in he video
Because although it may be easy to most people to do this, some people may want to practice technique and master the art. Don't put others down.
I bought a random nerf sword and i'm using it
Do you have a Instagram,
I’ll swing my arm in a figure of 8
Or I won't leave till the whole clip empty
Them boy ain't nothing but pagions
I can see why them boy love envy
I want LV, Prada or Gucci
I might just offend my opps in Fendi
And when juice get spilled like soda
No I won't say no words like Kenny
.
i can actually that prety fast
Einstein says if you cannot explain something, you do not fully understand it
+DJ COOPS I never said I couldn't explain it; I said it was hard to explain. A wise teacher knows when it is more effective to stop talking and start showing.
+DJ COOPS It's not that I disagree about Einstein, plus I'm probably not even
close to his level of intelligence, but I think everything is just a
matter of perspective. some people can imagine them better than
expressing it into words. like this comment for example, I have more
sharp response but I can't say it as good as I think. grew up as
introvert.
i did this first try
i accidentally threw my stick.
Just google Stodoys and make some dust.
There’s a soooo much easier way to explain ‘all that’. Just do a basic twirl alternating between your left and right side.
and now start to do your movements from the center of your body , your dantien is the center 3 cm down ur bellybutton - everymovement from your sword have to start there. this must be the center of your movements. if you do that then you do the correct form of martial arts. the point to swing your sword is not in your wrist - the energy the center is down ur belly button 3cm down same as i said before. keep practice like that in ur mind and you do it same a real wu dang warrior
why u r not showing u r face..... dont hide
You wanna watch her face or learn to spin actually?
😐
UGH PLEASE GO SLOWER!!! YOUR GOING WAY TOO FAST :,(
+Team MAJGAS Oh jeez, I'm sorry. If you want I can make another video that goes slower.
+ShinobiCAT please do. slower tutorial that is. many thanks
What happened with the future tutorials, I went to see a sword competition & they mentioned this technique it's the first video that popped about the technique xD
nice dear
