I train with Obata sensei, his martial art is called Shinkendo and for the record he is an outstanding martial artist, very very good, he is also extremely fast. He will only slow down if there is a chance of injury for his partner, for example a beginner. He will also tell you that the sword is never to be used with strength, in fact the more power you put in the more it will become a bat. Thats why alot of inexperienced people knock over targets instead of cutting through them. It's not easy.

This is what being a master means. There is no hesitation in his strikes, every move (not just his blade, but his footwork is beautiful) is completely clean, and the thing I haven't seen a whole lot of mention is if anyone can hear the bamboo as it's being cut, every cut sounds exactly the same.

I believe one of the concepts for Obata's style actually centers around pre-arranged sparring. The fact that it is choreographed does not mean he is fake, it is actually no different than a form in Kung Fu (8 chain punches, cannon fist, etc). Repetition like this can help build muscle memory, if done correctly.

There are many reasons one might question Toshishiro Obata, he has made a lot of people angry over the years. One way you cannot question him is on his skill with a sword. To do so would show the height of ignorance.

@DjAlgis what you are used to seeing actually is based on the sword, not much skill. you see these new "competitive grade" katanas aren't made like a katana should be made. The Katanas that Obata would use are made for combat, and made to cut through 3 inch thick bamboo, and are strong powerful swords that wont break. the Ji of the blade is usually slightly curved and they have lots of niku. The swords you see used by other people online are made to cut tatami. its usually thin like a machete.

Obsidian IS glass and it sharpens to the molecular level but only if knapped,flaked or sheared.Other methodes to work it can produce sharp edges but not at its best.This only works as glass is harder than Steel(being 5 on the Mohs scale)but so brittle it cant be used in large pieces without snapping

i see he enjoys the over hand only issue with this is that it actually would be rarely done it leaves yourself to open to much access to the vitals the the under arms where there just happens to be a very vital artery and a nerve cluster that can temporarily paralyze an opponent and make an easy kill. it just goes to show that yes this does set you up for a powerful strike it also shouldn't be done if victory is assured. so if in battle he used this style mostly then yes i would fight him.

the best defense is offence... your main concern in a duel to the death is to cut down your opponent. You should worry about striking him down as quickly as possible, securing your win. If you worry about protecting your vitals at the dire cost of not accessing your full potential (without over extending yourself, of course) you will likely not come out of your first match alive...! Just something to think about.

No offense but i think the match wouldn't last more than 2 seconds, as soon as you attack he will probably parry and slice you, unless you are a very experienced swordplayer, btw practicing in your living room with swords from Chinatown doesn't count.

Your talking about Bren Foster. He is NO katana master. The only reason he was put on the show was because Obata sensei refused to dishonor the sword by doing what the producers wanted. So they hired the mook. He really made that episode a rather large joke to anyone who studies swords...period. I feel bad that Obata sensei is even mixed up with that horrible episode.
