    Well this gentleman did show some skills with his swords but i wasn't impressed. He maybe knew how to use and move his hands but he was so many times almost off balance that it almost looked, eh, bit of funny.
    My hat goes up for that fellow for practicing such fine and difficult art.

    There's an old saying of Kobudo Kata movements.Goes something like this (my poor translation):
    It takes at least 500 times to practice until you learn a simple Kata.
    It takes at least 1000 times to practice until you know why it is the way it is.
    It takes at least 10 000 times to practice until those who observe you know why you move the way you move.

    Those old Okinawan masters knew what they were talking about.
    He wasn't so bad at all. He just still has a long way to go (losing a little weight would do no harm either).

    That is one heck of a mullet.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    I don't know if my hat would go off to him, but good on him for having a hobby. He was more than just off balance, his moves didn't flow, showing that they were either very rough forms, or as I think more likely, made up forms (particularly the dragon twister). He often adjusted his hands after a "strike" and his feet in mid-strike.

    He could probably benefit greatly from a kendo class or something. And getting rid of the rat tail, not only did it get in his way, it looks horrendous!

    It was horrible. Everything he did was wrong. EVERYTHING.
    He is just swinging it around like a club. I tried to come up with a description of what was wrong and why, but it is so utterly bad that words are failing me.
