This is my 1st time seeing your video and it's what you said at the end. I have a tattoo on my forearm that says, Never stop trying to be a better person than you are today! Thought I would share that with you. I thought it was cool. I grew up doing martial arts and it was one of the best things ever helped me through stage 4 cancer so keep doing what you do brother
Trust me if you want to learn how to use a katana/samurai sword there’s loads of ways but believe me if you swung your sword like this in front of a Japanese sensei they would not be happy… it’s not traditional, this guys basically playing with a sword. Best way to learn is by reading books
I have a toy katana that works really well for practicing. I have practiced rolling my sword for about 2 years now in my free time and I mastered this cut really quickly.
I didn't know actually making the blade go underneath near your armpit was actually how you can get a cool spin out of it, I've been doing this part subconsciously, I've no formal training with a sword or of any kind, it just felt natural to do, and I've always personally had this nagging thought in my head of how stupid it is to let the sharp blade go under you at such speeds, but it's not suppose to be part of actual combat, but just showmanship more like. Now that you've also shown me you can do a full spin to, like "Add" power to the strike, it looks so much cooler than it did before, thanks so much, haha!
If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level you say you do, there’s no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.
Today I have seen many videos of different sword styles but our traditional sword style of QUREISH is far beyond any of the videos I have seen on Internet, this may be one of the reasons why we as a tribe ruled the world for more than 200 years !
That's understandable. You could always practice with a lighter object until you feel comfortable with your sword, or you could obtain a lighter sword better suited for tricking.
That's awesome! It takes discipline and consistency, but with proper training you could be proficient in a year and good in three years. Mastery is said to take 10,000 hours. It all depends on the goals you set, and what you define as "good."
I checked the link but I’m it sure which one you have. Most seem to say “for display purposes only” I’m guessing it’s an unsharpened blade. Anything in particular a beginner should look out for?
It’s hard to do with a Star Wars Black Series Lightsaber, the back roll is easy, the front is very difficult and I accidentally keep ending up having the light saber blade facing behind me instead of the roll start position
How does a person using two Katanas stand? (foot position) My dominant hand is the right, which of my 2 swords should be in front and which should be in the back? (note: according to my foot? If my left foot is in front, should my left sword be in front?)
Great question! When double stick fighting, dominant hand and foot are back, weaker hand and foot are forward. So for you, the left would be in front and right in back.
We wouldn't recommend that but I'm sure someone can do it. Typically you would do a peace sign with the katana between the index and middle finger on the handle to get to reverse grip! 🙂

I would love to fight him with wood swords

Awesome! Become better than you are today!
Looks cool and awesome. I don't know why but sword spinning/rolling is so satisfying to do.
It really is!
Man’s handling a katana like a freaking longsword. I get they have the same principle but jeez that looks so strange lol, btw nice video :)
nice i spent he whole summer studying this to show of tomy classmates i learned how to do a flourish very nice and very cool
kids lerning from plastic sword ..........men lerning from real sword ...............legend lerning from umbrella
No legends learn from wooden sticks

That’s good to hear!
its sad that there is not that much comments, even for one of the few video the tells you to experiment for yourself AND leverage.
i have only learned this trick for less than five minutes
If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level you say you do, there’s no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.
That's so true! Become better than you are today!
I really wanted to do this with my ben 10 sword, thank you !!!
The fact that u can use the same exact tricks with a lightsaber and do the same exact tricks u use with lightsaber but sword
A sword is not a toy...it's not a band baton... No Japanese swordsman flip a sword like that.... It's an easy way to have a deep and serious cut ..
1:36 😂 the voice crack
Btw i call your "get that cut" finishing move, the Highlander move 😂
I got a metal katana for christmas. Can't wait to use it!
That's great!
That behind the back spin trick is called "Hide the Flowers" or at least that's what my instructor calls it.
You're right, I've heard that term used for it.
I work at a cinema. When I go to clean screens with a brush, I roll the damn thing every time - gots to do it with style
For real
I'm about to get a rubber Larp version of Anduril from Lord of the Rings and I'm so excited for it and I really hope I can learn some of your tricks
That's awesome! Mr. Neal, one of our instructors, is a huge Lord of the Rings fan!

that looks really cool! Although, these swords tricks are not something that someone would do in real combat :D
anyway, still really cool move :)
I'm competing soon with a creative form and this was really helpful
Thanks man your a good teacher
Thanks man your a good teacher 😊
No problem, glad it helped
Deadpool Brought me here to learn Sword skills ⚔️
Will need to get a wooden sword to practice this. Don't want to lose a hand.
Yes definitely don’t do tricks with a real sword
I'm here as an animator
wow... this made me a lot better at handling my... weapon... hehehehehe..... thank you kind stranger....
Glad we could help you!
Bought a kendo like three years ago. I got bored so ima do this shit now
The obi ani spin
It’s been up for 2 years and there was only two comments ....
Okay I noticed how that is just like the Obi Ani spin technique
Can you make a video on other sword spins too?? Like a compilation
That's a great idea, we can work on that!
You have some nice skills
Thanks!
あなたはスカートを穿いてバトン・トワリングをおこなっても今と同等の満足感を得ることができるでしょう。
i do it with a stick... which is a little heavier towards the tip
I need to learn how to do this
I was unaware of this video for four years
Very nice. I have a katana but really do not want to practice with it. Gotta get a bokken. This looks like good clean fun!
Nothing ever showed up in all the places that you pointed to.
Otherwise great stuff. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
This is very unfortunate my sword is a bit to heavy for me to do, and I am definitely not risking it haha
That's understandable. You could always practice with a lighter object until you feel comfortable with your sword, or you could obtain a lighter sword better suited for tricking.
Never try this with real steel unless wearing gloves & arm protection. One slip & your finger tendons gone 6 mths recovery w surgery if lucky.
Very true! Definitely use a training sword, not one with a blade.
Totally awesome
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
Been wanting to learn how to use a sword as a much needed discipline in my life. How long does it take to get good with one though?
That's awesome! It takes discipline and consistency, but with proper training you could be proficient in a year and good in three years. Mastery is said to take 10,000 hours. It all depends on the goals you set, and what you define as "good."
Where can I buy this sword! It looks real and I could practice safely!
Hope this helps!

Guys i accidently spinned my long umbrella syccessfully and here i am😂 hoping to practice sword😅
That’s a great way to start 😂
Thinking about getting zoro's enma katana for my birthday so I'm hoping this video will help. (Will comment when I get the katana)
Awesome, hope you get it!
@@SkillMastery Thanks!

Yes it can be tricky. Make sure you go palm up on the forward roll.
i have katana and i wanna learn
I can not manage to do the forward roll as the blade will hit my armpit if i try
The blade should go to the outside of your arm so it won't hit your armpit.
what is the name of this martial art

Anyone in 2024??😅
I got a giyu sword and looked up this
Awesome!

WAIT DIDNT YOU WORK AT SUWANNEE KARATE ATLANTA BECAUSE I TRAIN THERE AND THEN IT SAID YOU WENT TO A DIFFERENT STUDIO OR SOMETHING BC I MISS YOU😭😭
Yes, Mr. Lower used to manage KA Suwanee until he opened Elevate Martial Arts & Fitness. We hope your training is going great!
cool but this is chinese style, samurai won't use a katana like that
Cute playing with a toy
is ur sword lighter or heavier than a typical Bokken? I ordered one(a Bokken) and hopefully I can practice this with ease lol
Good stuff , would maybe feel bit more comfy if i wasnt worrying about your toes 😅
Fair enough!

HI I HAVE A ZOMBIE SWORD CAN I STILL SPIN IT
Me doing this with my plastic sword
Meanwhile half of you guys🗡️⚔️
can anyone pass the handle of the katana through index and middle then ring and middle and then over ring and pinky into a reverse grip?
We wouldn't recommend that but I'm sure someone can do it. Typically you would do a peace sign with the katana between the index and middle finger on the handle to get to reverse grip! 🙂
Spin ffw verstehe ich aber den rws nicht. Entweder hau ich mir den in die Beine oder es sieht aus wenn ich es wegwerfe
i have a katana
1:28

Hmm no comments here i guess im first
I Am Eable. Machete
Is that a real sword?
I think so.
It's a training sword so it looks real and feels real but there's not an actual blade on it. It's not actually sharp.
@@SkillMastery can it be grinded to sharpness ?
@@SkillMastery what is it called??
@@nezuko8104 sword
I did that and broke my sword waste 100 dollars 😭😭😭😢😢😢🥺🥺😢😢
Lmao barely any comments, searched this tho cause I have martial arts demo team tryouts lol

Question why are you so disrespectful to Japanese Swordsmanship, culture and traditions?
Learns not learn from u because u are doing sppedy
Too fast and not really helpful therefore sorry
I'm sorry this didn't help you. Hopefully you find what you're looking for!
