I think he performed "AAHHH! BEES! THERE ARE BEES EVERYWHERE! AAAARGHH"-kata beautifully. ;)

It's the only kata in martial arts practical for kids today.

I still wish these people would take their acrobatic skills and go into wushu. Seriously, they obviously possess the talent for it and they obviously possess a desire to move quickly and such. They would be so good at it! And no one would be making fun of them because they would be doing what they are meant to be doing. Besidewhich... I love me a Japanese sword. But a Chinese broadsword looks way more awesome (http://youtu.be/rVyuId4IqfQ) when you are twirling and whipping it around while jumping wicked high.

I wonder how many stakes this guy could butcher up in a minute. How many stakes could a swordsman stab if a swordsman could stab stakes? On the other side I get the feeling he's going to find out what the term tsuki in prison means.

These threads always remind me of picking at scabs. His video makes one angry or confused or otherwise not calm, so why watch it? Likewise, he obviously has problems but so do scout masters, priests, teachers and parents.

Why post them? Who is being warned in this forum?

Like I said, scab picking I think.

We Share our space with Wushu club and to me it looked like he was just doing wushu with Katana while wearing hakama.

Not that I would know what form(s) he was doing.

I mean he basically is but without any necessary elements. In theory all Wushu taolu should represent one side from a combat scenario, usually one involving multiple imagined combatants. So even were Wushu to develop a katana form (for whatever weird reason) it would probably end up looking a lot more like Iaido or something, with some acrobatics thrown in and covering much more floor space than normal. Not so much like anything this guy is doing. Were it an actual Wushu form he was using, he would be (at minimum) be covering much more floorspace and not be flailing around his head like that. Because even the flimsiest Wushu performance weapons can give you a pretty heinous cut. Seen a few thigh scars from more than a few broadsword compulsory form practices gone bad.

This kind of swordsmanship does have a long history. http://kenshi247.net/blog/2010/03/21/the-art-of-drawing-a-crowd/

I'm sure he is happy in jail with his new cell-mates who, as I understand it, absoluteley looooove child molesters.

First I had heard about that, kinda nutty. Boggles the mind how people think they can get away with that.
