Am i having problem with my eyes or he's really holding onto the blade while doing those "kata" ?

Yet another poor soul with too much time on his hands and no sense of Budo logic. I have seen better Wu Shu routines. ;)

It looks like a "Bad Budo" candidate to me.

ROTFLMAO. :laugh:

Was it just my imagination or did I see the sword wobble side-to-side on one of those front-cutting camera shots? Is that the Wu Shu competition model of curved blade or something, or just one of those Halloween Ninjer swords made of tinfoil?
As for Yoda...That's not official sanctioned Katori Shinto Ryu as Yoda learned it at the Jedi Academy by some visiting mekyo swordsman and has a certificate under the previous headmaster. You can see how his sword is slightly tilted offline outward. Very sloppy form. Obviously their Katori has "evolved" a bit since breaking with the mainline. I guess what I'm trying to say is, what a sissy, I could take em.

The more I look at him the more he reminds me of either Hatsumi sensei, or my cat!

I have looked at some of his stuff on this site and indeed it is the same old claptrap..."Look at me, this is original, I made this, this is better than the rest, I am a ninja, this is dream/experience/battlefield inspired blah blah blah".

Get a grip.

One for the bad budo bin please...

Ah, if I were a troll, I'd say that you guys were all intimidated! :D But since I want to live... ;)

I'm glad it was found to an amusing diversion.

This hurts me. Here's my question. Okay you just cut somebody down with that dildo or whatever the dude is wielding. So then, there's an oppone behind you and you turn - and stick your hand out at the opponent with the blade behind yer back?! What are you gonna do with that hand, parry?

I'll say one thing for him, his rolls are good. Check out the dive roll video.

check the extra touch of having ninjas wail on guitars as background music. Sweet.

There's a link on there to buy his videos - damn, where's me wallet? (a fool and his money are soon parted!)

I thnk he'll survive a vicious killer cucumber attack. Too bad all that cutting didn't slice up his overly engorged ego.

IMHO...

Let's be real here... in the vid, he kicks in the kneeling position (what happened to hands to the groin when on your knees - some ninja master!) and that behind the back sword posture... THAT'LL do you good in combat! (He actually PAUSES with it behind his back - for coolness effect I assume.)

BTW... that sword may as well be a twirler's baton... the moves themselves are better suited to Chinese weapons forms in a Saturday-afternoon Kung-Fu flick(PLEASE FORGIVE ME - any Chinese stylists who are reading this, as I KNOW your forms are both beautiful and effective training tools for your arts).
