Olympics are pure sport and competition, archery has an eastern origin, sword fighting/fencing, also eastern in origin. Everything the west does was once a staple and tradition of the east.
Olympic fencing is very limiting tho. Not like normal fencing. So to make this an olympic sport, theyre gonna cut alot of details to make point counting easier :( .

Can you imagine how the Chinese Infantry during those Dynasty Days fought, especially when they encounter enemy soldiers who are trained in Martial Arts?
@@IronKurone It's a battlefield sure a normal infantry won't fight like this since they mostly carry spears or straight swords with shields but during the heat of battle experienced or elite soldiers who trained in MA could be.

@@kennedy072 they carried single bladed swords rather than straight swords, chinese straight swords take much more time to learn than a single edge dao that is just as deadly
all this proves is that ancient sword fighting was a mess. Even if you win, you will walk away with cuts all over your body. Because of the adrenalin, you probably wont even realize you were cut so many times in so many places.
Not necessarily, they can play so much more aggressive because the weapons won’t kill. Ancient sword fighting or cold weapons in general was likely a slow process, lots of waiting and distancing.

Would a tip to poke improve the hook sword? I think it's highly interesting that he uses tips on his swords. To me personally it seemed as if there was not once enough time to hook both hooks together, while in contrast, there where many opportunities to stab. Interhooking the hooks also damages the edge of both swords. The whip attack would double ones range but at the serious threat of loosing a sword and while interhooked, there's no edge alignment, so it's posing the risk of hitting with a dull side. Was there a reason, why historical versions of this sword only rarely ever had a tip?
The other type of Hooksword(he was using a variation called the 9 Tooth Hooksword)had no need of a tip because it was nothing but blade. It had the curved end hook and was nothing but all blade inside and out. And then the crescent moon handguards were bladed on the outside. You could slash, stab, cut and just do all kinds of damage in every direction.
I always thought this is unfair. I love dual wielding, but shouldn't the Japanese opponent be equipped with a secondary weapon just in case? Like go Niten Ryu against the Chinese guy with the Twin Hook swords or something.
@@Gotoemole Sorry I meant the Blue Opponent be equipped with a secondary weapon (Wakazashi, Tanto, etc.) just in case? Like the Red Opponent with dual-wielding Twin Hook swords seems unfair when going against someone with a single weapon. It is like boxing but the opponents differ in Weight/Height classes or one opponent has two boxing gloves, while the other has only one on his right or left hand.
@@jmalfonso7 I personally train in kali and iado. While I personally prefer dual wielding two shorter swords than a longer two handed sword; dual wielding has many drawbacks. Shorter reach, lack of power and high skill/dexterity requirement. Edged weapon fighting cannot be compared with hand to hand combat, the premise is completely different. Realistic edged weapon fighting premises around hitting without being hit at all, not just to the head or torso; but any limbs or the hand itself. Even opportunity to hit the opponent first should not be taken lightly, because if the first strike does not kill or stagger; the counter strike could be lethal. As such ease of use, reach, power and stability offered by two handed weapons are much preferred over dual wielding
@@jmalfonso7 guy in blue is trained for a two handed sword style, is using s two handed sword so giving him a spare would be useless. Also why keep bringing Japanese swords when you've been told the guy is using a chinese one?
Does anyone know what this particular type of hook sword is called and where I can get these? I very much like this pole arm style end compared to the standard hook.
I want to go! I would with tri staff against the hook sword. katana was at a disadvantage because it is meant to cut and should be flexible hook sword really good though I have hook sword too I like meteor hammer/spear and naginata too
well the guy in red had a big advantage duel wielding no doubt so is no surprise he'd win, I am surprised the rules weren't diff 2hand swords vs 2hand sword comeptition, single hand and or duel wielding in seperate catagories, as it is a competition and set rules can be applied
Quite the unequal bout, the hooked swords guy hould either be fighting others with dual swords or longer weapons. Having two weapons makes the battle too one sided towards the hooked swords user because the single sword wielder has to defend two attacks and bypass two defences.
in an unrealistic scenario where power and range doesn't matter. also it's a single duel, in a battlefield it will be far more common to drop one of the dual swords than gripping onto a single sword
No, weapons are too flexible, There is no hand to hand combat following the use of the weaponry. Close but not exactly. Btw the guy handling the katana is Decent yet if they could efficiently block the attack to counter then it would be way more pleasing to the eye. There would be so much more coordination.💯🫠
Well it is real but this kind of martial arts would be useless in a real fight, there are actual Chinese sword fighting but really hard to find information about it
They should try sparring with real weight weapons like what you can get from Nihonzashi, so they can have relevant technique instead of technique for whipping around light weight sword toys... also this world does not need any more kumite point fighting, please spar continuously.
