Not so sure about this because I am a monoglot. But I kind of like this one
(except for that dude's haircut).
Nevertheless, a worthwhile R&K, and yes, a refreshing diversion from hyper intranicine political warfare.
I might add, there's always room for cello.
Another cello diversion, if one desires it.
Thank you for this.
on edit: I like the first one better, in spite of the commercial message at the end.

(10,175 posts)I am a ranking Iaidoka. Sort of like having a black belt in Judo or Aikido, but in sword use.
Iaido (居合道 Iaidō?), abbreviated with iai (居合?), is a modern Japanese martial art and sport that emphasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack.
Iaido is associated with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard (or saya), striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. While beginning practitioners of Iaido may start learning with a wooden sword (bokken) depending on the teaching style of a particular instructor, most of the practitioners use the blunt edged sword, called iaitō. Few, more experienced, iaido practitioners use a sharp edged sword (shinken).
Practitioners of iaido are often referred to as iaidoka.
The video above is from an Iaido Tournament

Does 'men' refer to the area you are striking?

If you are fighting a naginataka (Sword spear) then shins count
Triva fact. All the basic light saber moves are taken from Kendo. Once they start twirling though that's just theatrics. The Jedi outfights are thought to be inspired by Kendo gi and hakamas
Frankly, if your busy twirling your lightsaber. I would cut you in half with my plain katana.
