"Has a naginata"
"Uses it like a shaolin monks staff"
"Naginata breaks"
Look what this Mongolian did

Nice thing about sparring is when that
“Oh shit!!!” moment occurs it doesn’t have to be your last thought.

"Your Naginata had a catastrophic blade failure and we are gonna have to ask you to leave the forge"

"Goddamn mongolian broke my naginata!" is one of the most Japanese but clearly not actually Japanese statements I've ever seen.

A samurai from 1580 something is probably crying from the afterlife

[monkey_ish]

I have a feeling the olden warriors are turing in their graves seeing this.

[DisorderInOrder]

Ah yes. When I have a polearm I prefer to let my sword wielding opponents get within striking range... of me. I’m suicidal.

You're using your Naginata like a long axe instead of a Naginata

Naginata was a polearm, primarily used as a deterrence to cavalry, not dueling; hence the long thin blade attached to a pole. A common misconception is that Naginata is a sword, whereas it is in fact a polearm; not really intended for this purpose, and certainly not going to have much effect against armour. Polearms were intended to deter cavalry - most versions used by ashigaru had wooden poles, are weren't intended for dueling - for the exact reason you see in the video (pole breakage). Although there were some versions of Naginata created by nobility and late-era productions, which had metal poles as standard - this was to increase the versatility of the weapon so that it could be used more reliably in a duel. Still - not the best choice for a duel if both parties are fully clad in steel. In late Era Feudal Japan, they created the Kanabo/Tetsubo - a giant metal spiked club to defeat armour - the ultimate bonking tool.

You're lucky he didn't use his recurve bow while riding away on a small pony.

And now the Japanese blade has been folded 10, 001 times

Swings weapon incorrectly.

Weapon breaks.

"Why would this Mongolian do this to me?"

[flickeykrunchofficialYT]

Genghis Khan: yes my child, prove to them the strength

[yhibpoop]

As a Mongolian I can confirm we all have broken a Naginata once in our lifetimes.

"God damn Mongolians." — You know 'em

[longlee]

there's a lot of technique for a long handle weapon and there's you, using a naginata as a kanata. That would end fatal on the battlefield.

[hephaestus]

"Mongorian?
Wut da hail Mongorian doin' hear?"
