Japanese Sword Experts REACT to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice | Experts React

Oh that’s a clean cut but I love it you’re just constantly blocking edge first the more you block with the edge you’re just going to start chipping at that edge and you’re basically creating places for failures it’s got it very long to fully unseat it but back in the

Day is like shinobi’s would actually have a actual digital or kodachi fiddle length difference [Applause] Today we’re breaking out synchro shadows died twice be sure to LIKE and subscribe for more episodes of experts react let’s get into it I love it just stand right in and ride the blade through the body there are techniques that do use that so it’s not always just here with two hands

Or just one hand sometimes they do have the other hand on the back or the side of the blade to use to brace for strong attacks somebody bounces my arms would be jelly if I were him I wouldn’t be able to feel anything I’m yeah you are

Muscles need to loosen up because you have so much tension but your body do need to relax like imagine going to batting cages and just taking 50 full-force fast balls and making contact every single time back to back to back to back eventually your hands are gonna

Feel like they’re on fire and your biceps in your triceps and your forearms are just gonna feel like jelly after a while so it’s the same idea you’re just making a lot of hard contact if you’re just doing hard blocks over and over and over like what we saw here he was

Blocking being in a stationary position and not moving that’s taking a lot of life his body strengthened on shrinking block but that’s a lot of tension and pressure to put on a blade – you’re just constantly blocking edge first like we’re talking about before the more you

Block with the edge you’re just going to start chipping at that edge and you’re basically creating places for failure essentially you’re creating wedges where they can come in and break your sword by repeated use of blocking with the edge so it really depends on how you block

You’re using the side of their back of the sword those can absorb a little bit more especially because the back of the swords the the spine of the swords a little bit thicker but if you’re blocking edge first the whole time you’re damaging your sword you’re just opening it up a break

Wade lock-in Oh bleh locking is like you know when you have two blades are on each other and they’re not moving at all so you’re having this battle like who’s stronger and you’re who’s gonna push out of that play locking it’s a game of pressure yeah

So you see it a lot like in sword fighting with his long sword or lightsabers that blade locking a lot and they’re like having this moment of tension his sheathing and unsheathing the his sword from the back like how you just see from the back and it just

Morphs through it’s kind of very long to fully unsee that yeah like ideally I have no I know he’s a ninja but back in the days like Shinobi’s would actually have a actual ninja toe or kodachi where their blades are a little bit shorter than regular katana see the length

Difference when drawing the sword from the back it’s a lot more simpler to draw with a shorter blade than the longer blade because your arm length does have a certain amount of distance and it’s not possible to fully draw with actual Katara knows of this game there’s a

Little artist stabby stabby that’s a good finisher thrust his stab read like I haven’t seen any descrambler Vince so I know he’s using a katana which is the curved blade we should cut but if he was wielding the digital which is the straight blade it would make a lot more

Sense because that’s more for thrusting than been cut as a clean-cut I love it but surprising that his hair has not been completely caught off to from all that slicing it’s something to trip on if anything I say that because tripping is a very realistic thing that can happen in but

It can be tripping from being off balance and even tripping on a tree root in a battlefield the only problem it would face in that case is possibly tripping on it just because you see it’s dragging along the floor and everything it’s demon hair strong so he’s got some

Really good shampoo to keep it strong and silky oh very good that’s cool that’s really good practising kenjutsu or Japanese swordsmanship does take a lot of time to master but it also takes a lot of dedication a lot of consistent hard work as well it’s less about how

Long I’ve been doing it from a calendar standpoint it’s really how much am i practicing and how much of my practicing consistently that’s also another aspect though where discipline kicks in depends of like how disciplined this practitioner is like if you’re fully passionate and commit commit to the

Practice commit to the craft then yeah you can master it in the short time because your mindset is on the objective at hand compared to someone who you know practice casually as a hobby like you said once a week it takes a lot longer because you’re taking much more time for

Yourself to try and master it the biggest thing to dug by ears obviously it’s a very fantasy based so a lot of the attacks it’s kind of hard to really talk about it from a technical perspective because there is so much fantasy involved with it this is

Actually nice to see them actually do clean cuts through and through and rather not look so stagnant and I was like noticing the battle stance whereas keeping his right foot in front and the plate in front too it looks great and that’s kind of the point of having an entertaining fantasy game like

This right yeah everyone loves flashiness sorry yeah yes sorry no that’s like second nature now yeah
