Be careful! Techniques are dangerous.
Seek out a professional school or instructor.

This guy seems like a really good teacher
As a kendo and iaido practitioner I have 2 exceptions:
1. A staff would not have broken a katana so easily.
And
2. The strikes would be to the hands to disarm the sword.
The reason for a hanbo's existence was likely self defense rather than war. That spear would most likely be encountered on a battlefield. The hanbo was probably carried by skilled or even non skilled individuals with a need to defend themselves from armed attacks. Laws in Japan varied greatly over the centuries but more often than not the carrying of a sword by a civilian was restricted or sometimes outright banned.
FilmAcolyteReturns today carrying hanbo is legal.
some old man with shrimpy back usualy using hanbo to to help him walk
good and humble teacher.
Great techniques of stick and body movements.
.....IMHO: I REALLY APPRECIATE THE "FLEXIBILITY OF VARIATIONS IN BOTH "THE ATTACK", AND "THE COUNTER ATTACK/DEFENSE"...... IT'S BETTER FOR DEVELOPING THE SPEEDY REFLEXIVE PERCEPTIONS, AND THEN THE MOVES NEEDED TO BE EMPLOYED. THANKS!, FOR THIS AWESOME DEMONSTRATION!!!
To keep sword way from you and to strike hand make loes his weapon
IMHO: I would think/consider that it is of utmost importance to keep in mind, that One's opponent's "brain" (head) is THE "PRIMARY TARGET", because if his head gets whacked hard, he cannot fight effectively at all!!!..... Sure,... block, parry, counter attack his arms, legs, weapons, only if absolutely required, as as defensive move, but, try to focus of taking out his optics, and command center (head, eyes, neck, throat)...
Great job! Your an excellant teacher!
Great explanations and theories.
You can only break a sword from the side, the spine where you're talking about Breaking is the toughest part of the sword, tempered to endure strikes.
Yes. Agreed. The spine is differentially tempered and softer, but I have pressure tested over a dozen swords over the decades and broken several right through the spine. A sword can be broken literally anywhere on it, not just the sides, with enough force and a lucky angle.
I'm thinking of these situations with the opponent's weapon actually being sharp, so, having said that, in the situation at 12:53, that particular hold left the instructors right hand kind of open. Assuming for whatever reason that anyone would even hold the opponent long enough for them to strike back, there is a slim chance that they could end up sliding the edge of their sword up the hanabo while being thrown, right into the hand and fingers of whoever is holding it. I dunno, it could be an observation formed because of how long they were in that position due to the fact that it was a demonstration and it could be something that was likely to have never happened, and probably never did.
10:18 KICK HIS DINGDING if he doesn't have armour of course
pure excellence
The question of whether the hanbo is faster than such a short katana still bothers me, though. The center of mass of the katana will surely be a lot closer to the hands than it is for a sword-like handling of the hanbo (e.g. 1/3 from the end). When it comes to very fast turning of the weapon (such as in wrist strikes), the distance to the centre of mass become increasingly important, much more so than the actual weight of the weapon.
Those red ribbons in the shinai must be cut off.
Hanbo vs boken?

He said the bladeds could break back then 🤣😂
