Katana Fight Chris Weir

Chris Weir
Stunt Coordinator/Stunt Actor
Had one afternoon to choreograph and shoot a screen test. It is rushed I know but I had to get it done...
Big thanks to David Sanders and Kyle McCafferty for starring in it and to Adam Davidson and Luke Elso for shooting it.
Also thanks to Leigh Byrne and Clint Novak for their help.

Oh this was beautiful. :3

I just bought a wooden practice katana today. This is wonderful inspiration.

[nahmanyomama]

i think my favorite thing is the pants; they look so comfortable and cool

[mushimushi]

I was thinking. " Is that the cartography of the Jedi in Star Wars." Epic sword play guys. Glad I saw it.

[emanuelparedes]

For those of you all that argue that the guy is holding the sword wrong... Get a life! This is for entertainment purposes, not a kata for a ranking test. You guys could probably never do this.

Great video man, keep up with the good work!

[DriveByReviews]

I seriously wish my friends were into this kinda stuff during high school, oh all the sword battles we could have had!

[MoldyOog]

unnecessary twirls and flips lol I love it so much.

[dirmenss]

I know this is for entertainment only but this still looks coll af

[seraphiel]

This guy would make for some impressive lightsaber duels...

[spynix]

I like katana fights, because i have a katana too and a friend of me too and we are fighting sometimes with practise katana against each other.
It is really intense and fast, but everytime you get hit even with the practice katanas it hurts like shit, but it is worth it, because you are training you´re full body! It´s awesome.

[SGRBsteo]

Fantastic! sorry if I'm boring but I always wanted to learn to use katanas like that but I never find a course for that. I was wondering if I had to search for a iaido or a kendo course... Can you please help me choose?

[lollmemmSmkeweed]

0:30 What was that soundeffect XD LOL. Very nice video, keep it up!

[Thewill]

Katanas look more badass and have more cutting power than the longsword.

[lalalisa]

wow.. that was so smooth and really cool. wanna see more of this :D

[jimmymudano]

so amazing badass whatever you can say stuff right there

[kevinmkraft]

Chris, I know this is a dumb question, but where do you get your prop swords?

[klmtmt]

That's some badass swordplay! Great vid :)

[atsiapla]

Omg....so fcking loved wish I could do smth like this!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[ghostlourde]

Just one thing:

Swords don't actually make that 'shing' sound when you draw them. Be the first to not have it do that in a cinematic production, and you would be awesome

[panagiotisxatziemmanouil]

do you know that we hold the katana at the left side

[Karascool]

if you look close enough you'll notice that the fighters are not holding the swords properly and at 0:45 the man is not actually stabbed (also the swords are fake) I know when I first watched this I thought it was real too until your comment made me look at the video closer.
