Claymore, Broadsword, Greatsword, Longsword Kata Training

Training with a two-handed sword using a kata I invented. Of course, in the Western martial arts they did not use katas, but rather had drills and “set play“, but katas are a useful training tool nonetheless. This is not “authentic“ training, but in the Western martial arts the fighters did not care about “purity“ or artistic form -they did whatever works. In that sense, this training follows in the spirit of learning how to fight without focusing on authentic form.
