This is the extended 7-minute version of the Meiji Jingu Martial Arts event at the Meiji Shrine on November 3rd 2011.

Attending a demonstration like this years ago - A participant cut off his thumb. Didn't miss a beat, retrieved his thumb after he completed his kata. That's focus.
Essential Zen
To begin to understand you must cut off knowing and seeing, forget gain and loss, and become purified, naked, and perfectly at ease; each and every one must investigate on his own.

Awesome stuff...I especially liked the flute music throughout. Damned sharp swords...
Is that so?

Wow. Very cool film of a very cool event. The part that jumped out at me, was the fellow with the flat-topped hairdo, midway through the film, who draws his sword, strikes once, flips the sword quickly, then returns it to its scabbard, all without breaking his forward gaze or even blinking! Very feirce.
Leaving 'merica? Take a friend!
