Kitsune-Klan
The Kitsune-Klan is a group of sword enthusiasts. We like sword play and related aspects, be it for cosplay, re-enactment or as historical martial arts. Our videos summarise some of our experience of the last 30 years.
We aim at people interested in martial arts by providing a scientific background for learning and structuring martial arts training.
We also test training equipment and give suggestions what is ideal for training for a reasonable price.
We discuss fantasy weapons to improve our general understanding of biomechanics and also because it is simply fun.
We also hope that different communities that are largely separated - martial artists, cosplayers, fantasy fans - can find more similarities due to our content.
We do not follow a single school of martial arts, but believe that every martial art style out there has its merits and can teach us something.
We give our best here, but also we make mistakes; so if you find any, notify us.
We upload on Mondays and Thursdays.
