Samurai with a Longsword? - A Kenjutsu Master's Perspective
Usually we only hear from people with a background in historical European sword fighting what they think about the katana, but this the opposite point of view. A Japanese Kenjutsu master tells us what he thinks about the longsword and explores potential ways of how to use it with no prior experience in HEMA.
Viewers have asked me to react to it, and I'm glad they did. It's quite an interesting video. Give it a watch:

So here I'm responding to some of the observations and answer a question about the guard on this type of sword. Seki Sensei likes the pommel... he knows what's up. ;)
END THEM RIGHTLY!
