    Yeah, I would have expected to see much better swordsmanship at the World Kickboxing and Karate Elimination Championships.

    NOT!

    The time you spent finding this would have been much better spent practicing, or even thinking about, actual iai.

    I think its fantastic, especially his response to the question of 'the philosophy and history of everything he's just done'. He uses a Zen technique to seemingly completely bypass the question and simply explain the moves he's just done. Very, very clever. The BKA need to get in touch with this person and see if he's available for seminars.

    1. Youtube doesn't throw up anything it's members are solely (ir)responsible for the content.
    2. A dual Katana Kata created for the World Kickboxing and Karate Elimination Championships.

    says it all.

    Well I didn't, I meant as chief instructor, but yes, he could impress us all at the party too and we'd have to insist he used shinken....

    1. It's not on backwards it's Buckaroo Banzai ryu (if you don't follow see the movie)
    2. I think we could find a practitioner of Santou ryu to top him (if you don't follow there's always http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/8/80/Zoro2.png)
