And yeah, they're frightening - it seems almost superhumanly fast! Though in reality those are just drills they've practiced a lot that they can essentially choreograph for the camera - there's no uncertainty. This is why iai kata seems so fast and sure as well. M. |

As for the armor, they're using feather swords. About on par with floppy schlager or musketeer rapier blades intended for fencing. The danger is at most light bruising. *Sloppy and Jerky in this case just means hesitations while waiting for the partners to get to where they're supposed to be during the set plays.
