Why The Original Always Pwns The Remake...

[ScottUK]

You may have noticed my recent lack of piling on the eejits of Youtube when they post videos of themselves 'demonstrating their art' etc.

However, this one half-offended me and half-cracked me up.

Now, Musashi could apparently use a sword, and with this skill/fame comes groupies. Some are responsible for propogating the art (Terao Kyumanosuke et al) and some are responsible for causing us to wee ourselves with laughter. My offering tonight is of the latter.

I give you, founder of Shinbi-Kai Kenjutsu, Mr Antonio LaMotta (http://www.antoniolamotta.blogspot.com/) and his Adaptation/Explanation of Go Rin no Sho:

Videos: parts 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D15X0wVpTgY&feature=channel_page), 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obWVwN6-mvs&feature=channel_page), 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzPHMY2zhIk&feature=channel_page), 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXEuGSSFzN8&feature=channel_page), 5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc1_X-80r-U&feature=channel_page), and the obligatory kenjutsu in bogu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzCxYa59Mmk&feature=channel_page) video. All are great, but part three was exceptionally good. Try and spot a single decent attack he makes.

Caveat: None of the videos contain any of Musashi's actual teachings, so if you end up having a punch-up on a remote beach and get your arse kicked, blame Mr LaMotta, not me. ;)

Christ Almighty...did you really just use the "word" pwns? Have you no shame?

[ScottUK]

My l33t sk1llz pwn you too. And don't take Judas Priest's name in vain or the Hanjob will be on your case. N00b.

[pgsmith]

I really can't believe you wasted precious moments of your life watching all of those! I couldn't even make it all the way through just one. You've got entirely too much free time on your hands. :D

[ScottUK]

Wasted? I'm studying Mr LaMotta's art, dammit! ;)

[satsumaruma]

You've got entirely too much free time on your hands. :D

You really shouldn't ask what Scott does with his hands when he has free time:spchless::spchless::laugh:

[ScottUK]

Sadly, KW has taken the place of high-quality porn so my virtue is intact.

[Maku-san]

Dammit... the forum won't let me give much-deserved +++Rep to Sats-san & ScottUK-san for their very witty repartee!!! :D

[Ookami7]

Exactly, I owe you both rep points but Kendo and Iaido gods ain`t listen. Oh well time to get drunk on shochu, enjoy the maidens, sacrifice a goat ..... and then maybe just maybe then the gods will be in a happier mood and let me rep some out standing gentle man!!!!

[Orophil]

OMG WTF what are those guys doing? shifting hands on shinai.... (the kenjitsu in bogu)... i bet i can even pwn them with my 3 months exp. in kendo... Real kendo that is...

atleast it was a good laugh in short break. :tongue:

[Jung_Yul]

Oh dear God....... these people are in Chesapeake??? As in... RIGHT NEXT TO VIRGINIA BEACH??? :dead:

....... part three was exceptionally good. Try and spot a single decent attack he makes.

[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Nope. Not one decent attack.

Scott - you should compile a hit list [or should that be shit list] of those guys who seem to favour the 'twirly-bird' technique[s]........

We would all then have access to an archive with which to amuse ourselves when spirits are low.

COMING SOON: Kusarigama, Naginata, Yari, Sanchaku, Nodachi, Shuriken (on steroids), Archery and Kanabo Videos.

These should be funny.

[nico storm]

Sorry for the double post but Im also loving the seemingly homemade pleastless hakama.

[Fonsz]

The drawings however are nicely done if he made them. Other than that I heartily agree with the title of this thread.
Mr. Scott my good man you do seem to have a knack for these things or a lot of time on your hands.
Nice find.

[ScottUK]

Yeah, Mr LaMotta is an artist - but not really a martial artist... ;)
Nice find.Actually this was bought to my attention by one of my students - who is also a KW member. I'll allow him to stand up and take the blame... :D

Raises hand :o

Twas me sir, if you have a look at comments on the Kenjutsu titled video, you'll see the result of a bottle of wine, and spending the small hours of the morning scouting youtube for crap, youtube astually asked me to type in one of those visual word things because I posted something like 10 messages in 10 minutes, the result, kendo-world threads, woohoo!

High-quality porn? You mean grot films with spectacular locations, stellar acting and a gripping storyline?
