I love working with osstv! sword everything!
no doubt you are skilled but unfortunately this is not a sword. this is just a toy knife. do it with a real katana and then you will have a real respect
Pure curiosity here..were/are the spins meant for intimidation? I don't see them being practical in an actual sword fight is all
@@petrpalek931 most of spinning moves come from theatre, and were created using takemitsu, i.e. a prop made of coated wood. instead of criticise, just appreciate the technique
You made me think again if I should start training.
So THAAAAT'S how you lost your long hair.
When she goes slowly it looks so simple but when she speeds up it looks like much more is happening somehow? It looks awesome
Spinning stuff is just like that somehow. Even if you just grab a long stick and learn the most basic wushu-style spin with it you suddenly look like a ninja.
@@ninjafruitchilled Heck, even just learn to spin a set of drum sticks convincingly can make you look like a freaking rockstar - or learn to do it with a bottle if you’re a bartender, and suddenly everyone feels YOUR Cocktails just taste a little better than the others!
2:54 she put on an extra inside spin.
I believe that's called proper teaching technique.
@@fairisfair4918 play it in slow-mo, she didn't.
This is actually very helpful to me as an animator, so thank you!
i was about to say the same... i need more. (with both hands for example)... there is a move that i need that i cannot find : both hands holding the katana, cutting target down -> up , diagonal cut but almost vertical. .... any idea where i could find that ?
how?
@@TheVanillaChapstick Animators need references to make the animations realistic, the same as artists use references to draw.
Right! I thought of the same ideal lol.
Great artists learn from life. Cheers man!
Super clean movements and great explanation, thanks for sharing!
Sorry , she is a fraud, she has no training in authentic legitimate Japanese Swordsmanship
one of the best explanations/instructions ive seen on youtube, its demonstrated perfectly.
No way!! I've always wondered how to do these types of flips, spins and moves!!! THANK YOU ma'am!!!
Fun fact: Indian swordsmiths deliberately designed the pommels of the talwar in such a way that it prevented the the swordsmen from spinning the sword.... Moral of the story don't spin the sword in a fight it is an easy way to lose your weapon and get tired very fast.
It’s probably different for a someone who has practiced much of their life with a Japanese sword like their Samurai and ninjas. The effort is likely negligible. That being said, things like the diagonal spin motion is a good way to end up cutting one self in half with a slight mistake. That would be anticlimactic…
I don't think the creator uploaded this with that in mind; it's just showing off a cool sword trick. Nobody would think about using swords in a modern fight anways
@@Alaskanman This has nothing to do with a modern fight. His point, correctly, is that sword spins aren't used in traditional sword fighting. It's not a technique. It's useless. It's flashy for people who don't know anything about how to use a katana. For people who've practiced this, it looks like Americanized fantasy BS fakery.
@@sfrielable Like I said, it's supposed to be a cool sword trick
@@Alaskanman No one said anything about a modern fight.
This is how I started off with a samurai sword. I spin it till I became proficient. Nowadays i swing the sword with so much power it cuts clouds in the sky & make dimension portals. I’ve battled ninjas, robots, aliens, gods, demons. Hopefully someday anyone beginning to learn the ways of the sword can join me for a few friendly battles & beers 🍻
Maybe now it's time to use your Katana when you are awake 😆
I can join you though I have a wooden Katana (Samurai sword).
the last blade i had an affection for was 6 pounds and 22 inches forged in aranyik. broke it earlier this year after 8 years.
What are you Samurai pizza cat?

A pleasure to watch! :)
SO much easier than other teach this. Thanks!
i think the straight spin is my favorite! looks super cool
Thanks for video. I learn another sword spin thanks
Thank you so much Jeweliana! You're an excellent teacher! A genuine 'jewel'!

You are really a good teacher.
I am 100% happy that you are doing what you are doing and that you are doing it well. Yes I am one of these old dudes that have been training in Japanese and Korean sword arts since the early 80’s. My only concern is safety. There are countless companies from Lonquan China sending thousands of “custom Katanas” monthly. The people that are buying them are also watching this video. They need to know what your sword is before you start teaching the “sword spin”. I know lots of us old dudes give your sport a hard time. Not me, you have fun and do what you do but just don’t misrepresent and put safety for others first. Us old school guys/gals know the difference. Buddy who’s mom bought him his new carbon steel sharp ass anime katana does not. That’s all I am saying and have fun.
If he owns a carbon steel katana, he and his mommy need to accept responsibility for what they do with it. How about “before purchasing a dangerous weapon, learn about safety, technique and responsible ownership.” Instead of negging this girl for teaching a skill.
@@TriniDiddy please tell me where in my comment am I “negging” this girl? All I was saying is “maybe mention some things about safety before your teaching “sword spins” on KZhead! Things like, “you will notice that I am using a blunt sword like object “ or “this is a training tool with totally different weight, centre of balance and size that is meant for demonstration purposes and not a real sword “. Do you really think that is unreasonable? You don’t think that would show a little concern for others? Not to mention a little piece of mind that your mitigating injuries? Or does that take away the illusion you are using a real sharp nihonto? I am not saying anything derogatory about her sport!
@@aaronmatheson9730 you sandwiching a criticism in between positivity doesn’t remove the criticism. “They need to know what your sword is before you start teaching.” Okay. How is that her responsibility? If you’re old enough to purchase a sword, you are old enough to have common sense about safety. You’re shifting the burden of education on her. She’s teaching a spinning technique, not sword safety. I’m just saying it’s unfair to expect her to modify her format for the benefit of a grown adult that isn’t using common sense. And if it’s not a grown adult, then whatever adult bought them the razor sharp katana needs to be the one monitoring.
@@TriniDiddy “you are shifting the burden of education on her. She is teaching sword spin” ?? Hmmm okay buddy teaching sword spins with a bit of safety should be all inclusive critical thinking tells me. Then on top of that you are saying I have a “hidden meaning”or “alterer intent” to my comment ? That’s a bit presumptuous don’t you think? I don’t need to patronize anyone, if I have something to say, I will say it and I am good with what I said.
@@aaronmatheson9730 You are 100% correct! If she is 'teaching' then she should teach what to use. Safety isn't an innate human quality, it has to be taught and learned.
Great breakdowns and instructional style, super clear.
This is so badass and awesome!
Thank you.. That first spin I've always had a hard time figuring it out.. I was making it harder than it had to be.
Great tutorial!
kinda got me freaked out about the blade spinning towards my body on the low spin though
I loved it thanks
So glad!
@@OssTV Does the sword need to have a guard to spin?
This will add to my Lightsaber dueling collection! 😉👍
Amazing! Thank you so much!
I have just started learning weapons at my karate club so this will be very useful. Thanks Jewelianna
Just be aware that these are tricks for show, not fighting moves. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you know the difference.
@RogerVincent - no it won't 😂
Oh yes indeed it will. So there! @@THXn11
@RogerVincent LOL. Good luck then. You're going to need it. After some years of experience and entering some tournaments, come back and re-evaluate your ridiculous statement. Fancy Hollywood spinning tricks will not only have you defeated but will also earn you the scorn and laughter of other martial artists. Don't believe me? That's fine. Go out and find out for yourself ;) So there!
Fair enough, I guess it depends on what you are learning for. I only intend to learn to use and control the weapon/s not enter tournaments - well done for doing so.@@THXn11
She makes it look easy but it’s really complicated
no.. it's not 💀
@@zephaniah4531 there’s a certain level of fine-motor *skill involved and, especially if one’s being less than safe about it and using a metal/heavy blade, that can cause some incoordination. I know some people can get the rhythm of spinning things in their hands pretty innately, but that’s not universal
@@Archer-1453 it's spinning a sword, it's not difficult to the average person who has decent hand coordination
@@zephaniah4531 Because the analogue is not that far off, what you’re conveying is the same as saying “Writing perfectly legible English cursive is easy with the right coordination”. Yes, with practice and a certain level of sincere interest, both statements are accurate, however, I would pay money to see someone who’s never picked up a sword in their life do any of the moves shown in this video without fucking up the first time.
@@Archer-1453 I never said it didn't require practice, I was just saying it's not a "hard" thing to do. Everything needs practice, I would just say flourishing a sword isn't that hard to pick up quickly
Great video! Thanks for posting!

@@ahmeryaa865 NPC, get lost
@@LunasRa NPC? What’s that? Is it a samurai term?
@@LunasRa So, in your mind, using a training sword in an exhibition of how to train certain moves somehow makes everything "fake"? At first I was intrigued and wanted you to explain the thought process behind that, but then I realized that it’s the complete absence of coherent thought that felt so foreign to me!
this is incredible thanks very much ill apply it all to my lightsaber =D

This is beautiful. Thnks!❤❤❤
Very good I can add this to my training 🙏🙂
While you're busy spinning your sword around, the opponent has already gutted you with all your openings.
I would like to see her try Tameshigiri with those sword flourishing cuts.
The strikes are just for show, for Tameshigiri correct and proper sword handling is key - and this is completely missing here. For example: That "swing overhead block" won't block ANY sword or weapon, because of impact and motion force, that will maybe miss the head, but be deflected into the shoulder - to the block has no protection, it's just a flashy move with no ties to a real blade against blade situation. And that's why the cuts shown would have an impact to the Tatami, but would get stuck and by the additional motion, the blade could be bend, even worse get broken... A real cut is something absolut different
@@SteffenReichel People have sometimes problem to distinguish between dancing with sword, and fighting technique. However to elaborate on your comment: if you break sword on tameshigiri, I would argue that it is not only because of poor technique, but more because you have bad sword. For example katanas made in Edo period (period of peace) were more hardened, sharper, and therefore easy to break, because they were not intended to be used in combat - they were only for show or tameshigiri. On the other hand, swords from Sengoku period were made for real battle, so they were less hardened, not as sharp, and were more likely to bend than break. Sword that would be destroyed at piece of (static) bamboo would not fare well against moving target in armor.
Bruh come on. These are clearly meant for show and not advertised as cutting techniques. You might as well be at a parade complaining about the color guard spinning their rifles. "I'd like to see them shoot a target at 50 yards while spinning that rifle." Whoosh.
You ain't the sharpest tool in the shed.
Doing tricks on it. Godspeed.
Best tutorial ever!
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Having light Katana's is always preferred. It doesn't look like your sword has a traditional Tsuka. Is there a preferred you like for spinning?
thats not a katana.
It's a fake sword ding dong.
Awesome, very informative but I'll have to refrain from doing this, I like my head right where it is :)
This is really relaxing to watch.
Good show, thank you.
The third one is a good spin for cutting off your own ankles.
"How to get kicked out of any sword school: 101!" 😅
That's why you do not see ANY of these motions in ANY traditional japanese koryu schools - because with a real katana, they just won't work, or harm/injure the blade bearer
@@SteffenReichel How heavy are these swords they use for tricks like this? Cant be a heavy blade
@@matttheamerican3766 I only handled real swords, but from this perspective - you just do not do such moves, as a slight failure might cause serious wounds, if the blade drops, the balde can be damaged, ecettera... it's just: It looks nice, but isn't realistic, as you care for the blade, care four yourself, but as well, for others.... and I have seen japanese katana giong fly, because the bambo bolt holting the bade came of, and because of the force, the blade was driven out of the handle and send flying... It's rather dangerous. That's why nobody usually is within the "fly range" and why you train with wooden sword...
@@SteffenReichel thank you for the info, brother.
wow i've learned some fancy sword spins thanks
I now finished my 1st vegetable cutting class. Gonna show it to my wife. 😎
Jewelianna, If you opened a studio for sword spinning, I would pay-up to be your student. Very good video. I hope you show up in movies. I think Jackie Chan would be interested!
Thanks for the step by step form. Seeing it done by a studied professional really helps refine form.. Also it helps me prove my point.. Spins are awesome for performance, Absolutely useless in a stand off . It can only perhaps distract an opponent.. The Point is that Any Opponent with training EASILY knows All the weak spots in a grip while spinning which makes it super super easy to disarm the person spinning the blade. If your blade is hit or stance compromised while spinning your blade is just gonna fly off, game over.
Yeah. This is ludicrous as "serious" use of a sword. When you watch a real swordsman with a katana the skill, power and grace is a thing to behold. This is just baton twirling with what looks like a cheapo stainless steel wallhanger. And every time she said "butt cap" 1000 samurai commited sepukku in embarrassment.
Yeah.. I didn’t want to sound mean, I think we all have skill and value in our fields..I’m not sure what sort of sword school she represents.. but yeah Baton Twirling Yes that’s absolutely what this looks like.. there’s a time e place for this skill but no way I can call it swordsmanship.. all stances and grips are weak AF… it’s literally baton twirling with a possibly un sharpened blade.@@jamesmaybrick2001
@@jamesmaybrick2001 Let me guess, you’re one of those Fedora wearing weeaboo neckbeard types who spend most of your waking hours arguing that "the katana is superior because it’s Japanese", and who’s increasingly frustrated about your dating life because women never react with enthusiasm when you engage them with the words "Does M'lady wanna see my Katana collection?"
I'm gonna try and learn these and you are so cool you know that ?! Also, can you uh make a tutorial about something with strikes and spins used together pretty please??
This is such an excellent presentation, very clear and concise. Now please tell me where you acquired that beautiful sword! (I love the shorter length and longer hilt and grip), as it would be perfect for my weapons training.
OK, these are really cool moves and she is a great teacher but if I tried any of these moves, all I'd be thinking "Which limb am I gonna lose first?"
Probably your thumb. As a traditionalist who’s been training and living in Japan for the last 18 years I DO enjoy watching these performance type moves, but I worry that people might try them with a real sword someday. So much of what she does is just wrong from a combative approach. But even the way she holds her scabbard when resheathing the sword is a terrible habit. If you draw like that you risk cutting through the seam of the scabbard and into your own hand. Don’t even get me started on her opening her grip while spinning the sword. 😳🫣
@@davidyoung745 Ha-hah, yeah, I was being facetious but you are 100% correct. I don't even bother mentioning the combat ineffectiveness or impracticality of these moves because 95% of the viewers don't know any better and come here to see something cool or flashy even though it might be as imprudent or silly as hell.
None as the blades are not live edged they are so blunt you could ride bare arsed to London and back on one!

Her favorite thing about the sword is something that no real swordsman would ever do. ....got you.
Just like all real footballers have some juggling tricks they enjoy doing, all real swordsmen have some flourishes they enjoy doing. So it goes with any sport. Leave your basement.
While those rotations look pretty cool I wonder how practical most of them are in a real fight? Don't you risk to lose control over your sword during the spin, which increases the chances of your oponent to slam the weapon out of your hand? Also the risk to hurt yourself while doing them?
practical.. the fact the title says cool should tell you all you need to know about practicality here. this is all looks
Its not for practical application. Its a Performance art. Obviously not for combat.
you would never use what she is teaching when using real weapons. Even in tournament fighting, what is being shown would never work.
The practical application is scaring your opponent away before he gets close.
Looks great 👍🏻
I am very excited when it comes word for something spinning 😌 Especially Sword or lightsabers 😁 And with this style hair of yours , little lady You are just Amazing! Very good videos! I enjoyed so much! 😌 Thanks for the little Lesson here!
Fun fact: not a single martial art developed by the samurai included sword spins. Nowhere in any military manual are sword spins even mentioned. XMA is not martial arts.
But it's a great sport. We can surely have both.
@J F. XMA is to martial arts what crazie locs is to boxing. This video is completely unhistorical and impractical to the extreme. I'm not talking out of my ass either. I've studied Japanese swordsmanship for 18 years. TSKSR, Battodo, Seitei Iaido, and Gyung Dang (Korean martial art which is a collection of Japanese and Chinese techniques). I've also taken my degree in Japanese history, and know several historians who research Japanese warrior culture and martial arts. I've seen hundreds of different koryu and gendai schools performing their techniques. Not a single one is anything like this video or that person's performances. XMA is acrobatics with the sole purpose of looking "cool". That is all. Their "swords" are fake and only a fraction the weight of a real one. They would end up killing themselves if they were given a real sword, like a clown juggling with loaded guns. If they had the decency to be honest about what they're doing, I wouldn't mind, but they're scamming people by presenting themselves as something they're not. There is a traditional Japanese practice which uses sword for non-martial reasons, and that is sword dance (kenbu). At the very least, the XMA performers could be authentic and do kenbu. They could "look cool" as well as being genuine, rather than liars.
@@TopLob lol at you; someone who thinks the crystallized, impractical, politically homogenised and pointlessly fancy dance of "traditional" Japanese martial arts are any more "practical" than this material. Weaboos gonna weaboo.
@@TopLob bro calm tf down stop ego boosting. If you would've read Oss TVs reply you would've realized that this is obviously not meant to be practical.
Would also help if she didn’t call the handle the buttcap lmao but absolutely correct you are
Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work.
That's Great ❤❤❤ Thanks you 💕💕💕
OSS ❤ you are a good teacher
this is so good for kindergarten
I think the samurai taught the sword spins right before that move where you toss the sword in the air, do a cartwheel, and catch the sword behind your back while yelling “ossssu!”
for real. this video is embarrassing.
Amazing 👏
Thanks for this video
If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level you say you do, there’s no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.
That certainly didn't come from Japan. My Kendo iaido teacher's have past away. One of my teacher's was Fred ishi no nonsense kendoka you actually had fear of him while playing Kendo match and he would hit your wrist so hard it would bring tears to your eyes from pain. Can't continue the match you have no choice but to bow out. And iaido fast draw Kata or forms over 400 years old past down from teacher to teacher. I sure hope this isn't the future of sword work. At least do your traditional Kata and Kendo techniques and if you want to play around do that on off time.
The various arts of sword work and training have been with us for at least a couple thousand years, and the notion that they have never changed nor evolved nor included displays intended to intimidate or simply for show is ludicrous, so if this diverges from the kendo forms you revere, so what? I have seen this young lady do much more than these spins, and after twenty years of training, I think I can recognize the results of intense training and dedicated talent when I see them. Further, who are you to tell someone else what to do with their time?
This is what these people from the" Open Tournament World", do not understand and will never comprehend, because they are afraid to step out from their comfort zone of living in a Cosplay Fantasy, “The term “martial art” is thrown around a lot without any idea of its meaning. “Martial” means “war” or “conflict.” In a martial arts Dojo we train for conflict. Without physical and psychological conflict there is no “martial” in martial art. Fear, to be overcome, must be confronted and experienced. Fear must become part of your life experience. Appreciation of fear and the appropriate reaction when confronting fear is the sign of a mature martial artist. Are not your dojo mates and teacher the ones that you should ultimately trust when learning to confront your fears? In a real dojo, they are. Remember that most people who call themselves martial artists are nothing of the sort. Most dojos are not martial arts dojos either. They are glorified social clubs thriving in an environment of emotional stimulation which is heightened by a false or extremely limited perception of danger. When real danger shows itself in such a dojo, the participants run for cover. In a real dojo the participants run towards the conflict” Yukiyoshi Takamura, Takamura-ha Shindo Yoshin-ryu @@marcmelvin3010

very cool!
Мужики, вы понимаете, что её мужу не то что изменять нельзя - ему и на пляже-то головы не повернуть😁
It's so damn sad to see. Taking a highly traditinoal Japanese outfit (Hakama), a Katana styled, highly traditional sword type -> a thousand years of tradition and moving it like a cheerleader stick. I feel like the comedian in Watchmen. Nothing to do with Japanese Swordsmanship, nothing to do with actual fighting or cutting. Some said that it has the style of Kali-Sticks, but even in Kali or Escrima you would never hold your weapon between two fingers, you would always spin (if you even spin) with weapon in the weapon inside of all fingers... Why is it always Americans that turn beautiful martial arts skills in fake action performances? No respect for the culture or the weapon at all...
dont just blame americans, the japanese did a lot of damage to their fighting styles in the mid to late 1800's
It's the Chinese and Japanese who turned their heritage into a mockery. Doesn't have anything to do with Americans. Also, they love to share their culture.
That is SO cool!!
Awesome 👏
Lesson 1. Use a bokken.
How can you be a world champion and not know the proper names of the fushi kashira or anatomy of your weapon what an actual joke
You win by action not by book learning son, you must be one of them nerds
Ma'am believe me I am going to practice these few techniques a lot from now on with my trusty wooden pole/staff with a swell in an appropriate place seemingly separate making a handle and hilt
Awful. Half the pointless movements, the unnecessary twists and ending with the sword tangled in your own clothes and what that entails of being a real sword and not a prop like this, not to mention that this is not done in either Iaido or kenjutsu Not even kendo, maybe in an American ninja movie. Turns and flourishes are traditional in wushu/kung fu where they have always been used because they have a different technique, and are used with two other objectives: to develop dexterity and confidence when handling your weapon, that is very typical of training, and if it is exhibited in public, show the level of skill, which is a bit like this, except that Japanese swordsmanship never had those types of elements, besides being heavier than people think, with weight pulled towards the tip , not prone to these flourishes, only a fake sword with an unreal balance allows you to do that. A total nonsense, only for applause in the competition circuit among themselves.
What did I just watch?? Searching for Jewelianna Ramos-Ortiz right now!
Wonderful
Thankx genius workout thankx to you
Wow great video
awesome skill
Thank you Master
Very impressive. I intuitively figured some of these out on my own but i think ill attemp some of them later when i get time. I absolutely would not attempt to perform the diagonal spin with a live blade. The blade is put directly in the path of your legs and if you aren't 100% on point every single time you do it you could get seriously injured. If i were using a blunted competition blade id be more comfortable but i also usually attempt to blend something like that with a tameshigiri cut as well.
It's quite impressive.
Coming from a Kali background I have a slight allergy against twirling the blade (stick whathaveyou...) by only holding it between your thumb and your index finger. But I like the first combination of it
Incredible
