I would describe that as: crazy guy fights imaginary mob of ninjas whilst shouting. Flourish. Audience, imagining ninjas with severed limbs, claps.

Hm, he seems too erratic, and wavery. Not smooth at all. Obviously not a master.

I mean more in terms of if I was RA Salvatore I wouldnt be able to choreograph it in words.

Well, it's obviously not an actual martial arts competition. It's for entertainment. Comparing this to an actual kendo/iaido/whatever demonstration is like comparing the dudes who twirl the guns in ROTC to actual riflery experts.

It was fun to watch, in an abarenbo shogun sort of way.

I think he could pretty well kill me in a fight...

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

Depends how you were equipped. Just ask Indiana Jones...

I still prefer this sword fight to any other I have seen.

Posted by Architraz Warden (Member # 4285) on :

Quite impressive, but I'm a sucker for the chained weapons in those competitions.

Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :

I was worried for the audience. If that guy loses his grip, somebody's getting a katana in the chest.

Heh, I was expecting someone to come out and challenge him.
