Get real!! He over cuts too much. More Americanized crap. This "Master Hun" is just another McDojo type just trying to cash in on the Last Samurai movie.

His posture is terrible, his kissaki (tip of the sword) too high when in seigan no kamae , his ashi sabaki (footwork) stunted and the execution of technique is so stiff, that I'd wager that he had an iaido/kendo manual on hand and was just filming it as he was learning how to perform the techniques on the hop.

"Learn how to cut like a real Samoorye!!"

"Learn how to stab like a samoorye!"

Thanks for the laugh. :rolleyes:

N.B. I know how to spell samurai properly, I'm just mimicing Hun's accent ;) For anyone who is really interested in JSA, this is how NOT to do techniques. AVOID!

Hey guys, I never said the video's were quality instruction. I am not experience with swords or edged weapons. I just thought some of you would enjoy the links.


..and if you are so inclined, make a few video's of your own and show the right way to do it.

You want to learn how to use a sword properly?

Go to a dojo, you can't learn from video or book, you need formal instruction. MPEG files, video cassettes and manuals cannot give feedback on the mistakes you make. Only a qualified teacher can do that.

Sorry to sound cold, but that's the way it is.

Thanks. I did. I'll watch just about any video when the subject is MA. Always learning something. Appreciated.

This will make a great signature line. Mine if I use it?

Nice sarcasm there. It oozed all over my screen. *wipes screen with towel*

I didn't learn ken or iai in the UK, I learned mine from my sensei in Japan. My avatar is of Hidaritomo Shuzo sensei, one of my teachers in Araki-ryu. I've only been back in the UK for 3 months.
