Guess it was because it's a reverse horizontal cut (for right-handers) so it's really difficult to get it right. They're probably all laughing because they know how difficult that last cut is and have all struggled with it.

It seems he traded speed for precision (though still fast as hell of course) and I notice that when most of the cuts are fast but not precise enough the mat gets caught and flies off whereas with a clean cut it stays there for longer..
you dont need that much strenght if you have the skill . any moron could go full force and cut wet straw with a katana but the aim is to cut it perfectly with controled force
After playing Ghosts of Tsushima, I now can somewhat understand the frustration of not cutting through them all and the excitement in getting it. I just wish I had half the discipline these practitioners have.
I took some iaido classes for a few years and this was pretty accurate. Last hour of class was usually bringing the damp tatami mats out and setting them up for cutting. It might look like a lot of their swings don't have a lot of power behind them, but they do. It's all coming from the lower body like the hips and back. Those smooth casual swings would cut your hands off. Though generally when not cutting Tatami, practice iaito are used.
This is something I really appreciate. Seeing a young learner becoming good is brilliant, but sometimes it is also amazing to remember why a master is called a master. It's MESMERIZING!

Whenever I see demonstrations like this, I start to wonder what the actual capacity of a real-life samurai from history (when samurai were in their prime) was like.
From what I read, most of the things like the graceful movements and all were basically non-existent. Samurai fought closer to how a gangster in Brazil fights with a machete. Of course, most of the skills still were preserved, but there was a lot more expedience in their movements since speed is life. I also believe they didn't slash as much as they stabbed with the swords. There is no evidence to say either way, but I just can't imagine a cut being very useful considering most wore some form of armor especially if going to war. A stab would be far more effective. Just like IRL military, when they teach how to fight with a knife, they teach stabbing to end a fight as it is much more effective than cutting and waiting for the enemy to bleed out.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj slashing was useful at that time bcs they were obviously a lot stronger, faster and more precise, through an armor plate of course stabbing will work, but imagine the damage when they land a clean slash on the joints of the armor, such as elbows, shoulders, knees and specially the neck, shit, a sword war must been just outrageous, vicious, brutal, demonic, we are just blessed to live in such peaceful time..
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj You’re right about that. Many of the this type of the samurai sword skills were established during peaceful years of Edo period as important knowledge of liberal arts/tasteful skills. Real samurai fight was much different than clean hero swords-man movie, more like a something from movie “seven samurai”
Consider that each one of those rolled up tatami mats is as difficult / as much resistance as cutting through a person. It is also a sign that their hard work, practice, and diligence is paying off.

He actually sliced the bamboo. They just didn't showed where he put back his sword in the saya, because they thought that the internet wasn't ready for that one.
The women are great! Precision and stroke to a very high degree. Wonderful technique! Easy to see and hear how their swings travel through the air. Bow... Respect. There is a huge visual difference between hitting with a sword and slicing through with one.
10:02 I've never seen this master fail. Watching tameshigiri videos is just fun to me, but every single time he shows up, there is no mistake. First time I saw a video with him in it, he cut down 6 strawmats in a single strike - where all others basically failed. A real tiger that one.
I'm no expert but it seems that the aim here is to be able to cut the roll as many times as possible, as cleanly and quickly as possible. Because during a real battle/flurry attack you never know which strike may actually land due to the opponent defending, so all of the swings during a flurry must be accurate, powerful and fast enough to slice the roll... And maintaining endurance of that must be hard when wielding a katana those things are not light - I've seen the hands of people who train with them and they are all calloused up! Props to these guys doing this in their elderly ages too with so much skill
It's a display of technique and skill more than it is a display of power. Katana are not like axes, if you try to chop with them like you would an axe then it will not make a clean cut. You have to "slice" as well as "chop" in the same motion (kind of like a fishing rod, instead of an axe), and you have to make sure the slice is straight otherwise you will lose force and might not complete the cut. I hope this makes sense.
Excellent job! I can tell that most of these men would be very professional in their younger years. The first mat they cut is usually perfect. The second one is where the mistakes happen. That's due to physical limitations because of age. Younger of the old men, the short guy in the video that cut the mats perfectly... most of these older men would have been at least equal to this guy's ability if not better.
Thing to remember is even if it didn’t go all the way through. If it had been a living opponent they would have given a serious hurt that would probably have doomed them. They have my respect.👍
Wow impressive, the elders the young showed real skills, respect and the fortitude of a professional, i think that is just the way they are thought. The sword might seems light, but they swing like that, to counteract the momentum alone is tough. This tradition should be kept alive, and I think this things make you proud of your identitiy and with pride, you are not shy/ashamed of yourself. With that we can be unified easily (not wanting a seperate entity just so you can exist) i think this cultural event should exist in everu different communities and ethnicities, they can build harmomy, exchange ideas, preserve and promote each other's cultures, with that i hope we can live a unified and harmonious life. Bravo from Indonesia
yea, especially the one at 13:28 where he misses the target, and the sword kinda flails outward for a second. Could be really dangerous as the grip is expecting a hit, so theres a slight risk of the sword flying / getting twisted out of the hand.

The multi-tatami cut really shows how important an accurate cutting angle is
Whenever I see demonstrations like this, I start to wonder what the actual capacity of a real-life samurai from history (when samurai were in their prime) was like.
Well considering back then it was life or death...I'd imagine the difference in capacities is vast
If a back then samurai would watch some of these, would end up commiting seppuku out of cringe. Different times, I'm just joking.

Some very impressive cuts. Even the guys who sometimes miss, or don't cut clean through. It takes a LOT of practice just to do even that.
I love how everybody is so hyped when they cut through many
Consider that each one of those rolled up tatami mats is as difficult / as much resistance as cutting through a person. It is also a sign that their hard work, practice, and diligence is paying off.
