"The exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefs, and diseases, it increaseth strength and sharpeneth the wits, it giveth a perfect judgment, it expelleth melancholy, choleric, and evil conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, in perfect healthe, and long life." – George Silver (1599)

Getting medieval




Looking back to older videos, we’ve sure come a long way both in skill and what we are fighting with – swords, spears, knives, axes, whipchains even!
(as a note, even though the whipchain caught the ax pretty easily, twice it still ended badly – i see why the Kusarigama has the sickle).

This looks like a combination between kendo & Mu Ryu. They are in LA.

Looks like they both die. Nice work.
