I Tried Samurai Training with a REAL Samurai

Samurais are one of the most ancient group of warriors that mastered one of the deadliest weapons in the world The sword. I've always wondered what it takes to become a samurai So today I will have 24 hours to train before going head-to-head with a real-life samurai Wish me luck. This is Fiction and Toru. They are real modern-day samurai They are gonna be the ones training me today. First thing first, we need to look at the part Makes sense. So I brought kimono here and obi and hakama. Is it easy to put on? No, no This isn't that complicated So the kimono was pretty straightforward to put on but everything else was a little bit more complicated. This one goes over three times I just step into this It turns out this was even harder to put on. Turn over, rotate Toru's more of the traditional samurai. I'm more of the street samurai. This looks good on you though. It looks amazing You should wear this every day. But after around 30 minutes, I was finally looking like a samurai Okay, and it didn't take any time at all. Not at all Now that I looked the part, it was time to start my training. Samurais are known for having a very specific weapon Yeah, a sword. Wow. Where's mine? Let me get it for you This is a wooden sword guys. This is so you don't lose a finger while learning how to do things properly or Cut us up. Right hand on top, left side, bottom Yep And then your power should be on like pinky finger or ring finger. The tip of your blade You always want to point it towards the throat of your opponent. Yes. Why specifically the throat? If you cut throat, that's it, right? Okay, that makes sense. This part is the sharpest part of the sword so instead of holding really intensely and swing but relax just focus on here lightly and swing Right now you see that when you finish swinging, it's wobbly, right? Yeah, you want to like really stop here How do you how do you stop the recoil? Especially when you finish swinging, that's when you want to squeeze your sword a little bit That was better. Okay, I feel that Yeah, now let's try kesagiri, which is diagonal Nice. Then let's switch to left side Feet together. Yeah, pull your right leg behind and cut left diagonal Now even though these moves may look easy I need to make sure I perfect these for my final battle against a real samurai at the end of the video Grab a wooden sword and we can give him a practice sword Cool. I'll take that. There you go. Okay. Oh, that's right. That makes sense Oh, it looks very real. It's not sharp so you can't really cut it. So how do I put it in? Holy cow, this is way different. Blade has to be facing up You don't cut yourself on the way out? Well, not if you use the right technique. Okay. Yes, this is what we're gonna practice You have your basic on shi, so I'm here and it's this Yes, sir, the sword is pretty long So if you try to just use right hand it becomes like this. Yeah, I felt that. You want to pull it once and then Use also left hand to pull this scion Yeah To put it back you always perform shiburi first if you're doing shiburi It's what you see samurai do when they flick off the blood after they've struck down their opponent One of the most basic ones is you flick it to the side Nice, and I noticed I grabbed my scion I make a small circle around the top take the back of the blade place it on top of that small circle As I slide this down, I'm also pulling this back. You'll see that the tip of it when it falls into that circle I know it's inside. It's not all I have to do is Now that I learned how to actually use a sword it was time to put it to the test So now you have a real katana on your hip. This is my first ever time holding a real samurai sword Wow, it feels heavy. Yeah steel usually feels heavier than wood All right, so hopefully I can handle it and complete my next samurai skill which is extremely advanced today We're gonna be cutting fruit out of the air Fruit ninja exactly. Oh, yeah. Cool. Yeah. So the first thing you will be cutting is a watermelon This should be pretty easy to cut. I have faith that you'll get it first try you believe in me. I think so We'll go first and then after I cut one we'll just go back and forth see if you can keep up All right, it sounds good So legit So satisfying sword high five, they don't go yeah, I think I'm gonna do now We're gonna go smaller and smaller and smaller and just see how much Accuracy you have as a samurai ready down to that. We didn't try cutting a pineapple you tossed it and cut it Then a mango Which I cut perfectly I cut the seed perfectly in half then an apple Strawberry cut in time if you can cut this I say you have an accuracy of a After successfully cutting each piece of fruit It was time for a real challenge that all samurais need to master in order to become a real samurai I don't even know what they're bringing out My god, what is that back in the history whenever they did just cut it They actually use human bodies, but nowadays Do that. So that makes sense That's supposed to replicate a body part pretty much. The texture is very similar to like your arm or your leg so If you can cut through this, that means you might be able to cut through Why me? Of course, bro, this is way too legit Stay cool and take two steps back and do it. I'm gonna get too excited. I feel like All this training we've done so far would be meaningless if I can't complete this challenge I might have completed the accuracy and technique but I will also need to prove that I have the power in the strength in order to become a real samurai and if I Can somehow cut this perfectly? All I ask is that you guys hit that subscribe button And after a few more tries Did it My first limb Wow, okay, that was awesome Finally, it was time to put everything together and try a real-life samurai fight. No pressure. No pressure Okay, first I will have to test my samurai fighting skills against Toru and if I somehow defeat him I will move on to compete against fiction for my ultimate final challenge. All right, let's do it
