That's probably some shitty American flea market katana.

Shouldn't be a surprise, those swords were never designed for direct blade-on-blade contact. They were way too soft. Probably why Japanese swordsmanship evolved in such a way as to avoid it. The martial arts themselves are pretty much in-bred norms derived from shitty technology.

You realize Aikido is not a fighting art right?

Put it up against Muay Thai, krav maga, Sambo, or any number of martial arts and it will end painfully.

I believe you shouldn't underestimate Aikido. Now I know you may be thinking, "Why take a weakling martial art like Aikido seriously when I am learning Kendo?" I can see why you would think that, how can a peaceful martial arts like Aikido beat a powerful one like Kendo?

Well, I have a story to share with you.

Years ago, I was a Kendoka, I thought I was the toughest kid in high school, I would pick fights, and kick ass. I was full of hate, until I picked a fight with the wrong dude. He was a Japanese exchange student, I still remember his name, Noboru Takeda.

I picked on him because of his hilarious and thick Japanese accent. I told him I was going to beat him so hard, he would go back to China(Yeah, I was a little racist prick.), he never said anything back, made me wanted to kick his ass even harder.

Well, here comes the fight. I threw men and do strikes, he dodged them like I was a mere white belt. I was tiring out and he knew, I saw the smirk on his face that made me raged hard. I put all my strength in one amazing tsuki, and he grabbed past it to my wrist and threw me over. My back smacked on the hard cement ground, and I was knocked out for who knows how long.

When I woke up I was in the school infirmary, I asked the nurse who brought me here, and you guessed it, Noboru Takeda. The next day, he wasn't at school, he was back in Japan, and I never got to thank him, for saving my life and showing me the light. I soon learned that he was an Aikidoka and have been practicing Aikido ever since to show my thanks to him.

Folding does tend to make swords much more brittle. The fact western swords aren't folded is most likely why anime shows tend to depict them as being made out of plastic.

>> No.4422156

>>4422149
The only reason Japanese swords were folded so much is to produce something viable out of low-quality steel.

This actually makes tons of sense. For one, as only a matter of physics, the German Longsword is heavier than the katana.

More weight = more force potential (because momentum) = more bang = 1 broken sword

On the other hand, the katana, no matter how shard its edge may be, is lighter, and most importantly, more flexible.

European swords are made to be harder, and therefore, stronger upon blade-blade impact. Katanas are made to be lightweight, flexible, and durable enough to keep itself together even after a major impact.

If a real master like :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrAB8WMsx0
was holding the katana then the guy in the clip would have been cut in half befor he could swing the sword.

Except that smith is famous in Japan, and they buy his katanas rather than their own pieces of shit.

Aikido, its a defensive fighting style, should come better with swords like katanas

>> No.4422300

>>4422159

Flexible?
Not at all.
They cannot withstand impact and they dent like crazy. You have to take very good care of them and warriors were trained to avoid striking their opponents' blades with their own, instead twisting the hilt so they could parry with the rigid back of the blade.
They're also not any lighter than a well-made longsword, and certainly not a rapier. They're very good at slicing along eight points at very close distance, and that's about it.
