you also have to remeber in both japan and europe there where different types of swords in japan samurais during war did you the Katana that was during times of peace where they would walk around the streets they used a tachi an bigger and more curved sword in europe there were the broad swords, sabers, and the smaller thiner swords

well you have to get away from where the sword has the most power the tip cause thats where the clean cut comes from this next part is all about timing and is a little suicidal. you can either one evade the sword at the right moment cause a good swords man can track you and change their swing mid way through the cut by side stepping and move in so your body isnt exposed to the naked blade and attack the hands and arms or evade and roll towards the opponet to a leg take down

I was watching the history channel and they were talking about this and they seemed to favor the Samurai more cause their jobs during the earlier part of japan's history was to fight and trained everyday where as knights no to the extrem of the samurai also another factor was that Samurai armor was lighter make them more mobile and they had other weapons with them and was trained to use different type of weapons

i have a friend who does fencing and he showed me some insane footwork and exercises that helped my kenjutsu

also the kata forms seem easy but if you do it in front of a really good instructor he will find the faults they are harder than they look thats what makes it deceptive

YEA what grandmasterchen said when it comes to ninjutsu its hard to find a ligit one trust me therare only really 3 legit groups you can say still around Bujinkan, Genbukan, and Jinbukan like any other martial art there are bad and good teachers of the art i say just check out the school and look for their teaching Liscences first

Think about why do u fear what you fear.....

any style can basically be a druken version of the original you just need to give the apperance that you are off balance and drunk i read that in an article a few months back by some Matster me and my friend during training mess with this idea alot

Advance stick fighting by Hatsumi Massaki

size matters - a lot. you will see this when these guys start getting as skilled as you. Size becomes more of a factor as skill levels become closer, because in addition to having the same (or greater) skill level than you, I also have a size and power advantage. not nececarly there are guys bigger than me on the same skill level and i hit just as a hard if not harder than them size doesnt matter to a certin point

I agree

Kunai, throwing weapons, stick weapons

the most deadliest style is no style

I have guys who are new to or are from more power oriented martial arts who try to overpower me cause im skinnyer than them and when i hit them they find out size doesnt matter but the guys who have taken other martial arts seem to learn this lesson faster which is good

ya my reflexs and senses have increased cause its like you body adapting its self so thst you can more readly aviod getting punched in the face

Man my dream grl is someone i could spar with one on one and walk dowm the street and if 10 thugs are attacking she takes 5 i take 5 and do our own form of the tango on their faces

I look my eyes look like they are concetrated at the eyes but im really observing the whole body and my surroundings

I read an article in black belt magazine a few months ago on how any stlye can be a Drunken style you just need to incorparate drunken movement in it in my dojo me and my friend mess around with this idea and funni enough there are elements of it in our style

Anything they could get their hands on But traditionally throwing stars, different types of japanese swords and kn ives, spear, shucto (hand claws), Naginata, Giant axe, jutte, handbo Jo, and bo staff, blow guns. and yes there are schools that teach it google Taijutsu or go to winjutsu

i heard that the black panthers were the reason for this is that tru

No martial art is outlawed in america also i think its not that it is outlawed but there arent many ppl who can teach Druken boxing and other Martial arts thats why you dont reall see them here in america

yup thats it in a nutshell

yes from what ive seen there is some good footwork in fencing

Well historically most battles ended in a double death because one guy would kill his opponent but the loser got enough of a go shoot to make the winner die a slow death alot of times when naked blades touched each other they would break unless it hit the back of the blade cause its more solid

ummm i mean the intent to kill you opponent during a fight thinking of the most horrid thing that you can do to them i guess your fight mode and yes sake is good
