But it's with boffers...
Still pretty interesting , the lack of cross gaurd and shorter length suits the JMA style more though. Sang Kim has such nice power generation and cut mechanics I won't say Axel has bad mechanics but it's obvious who had cleaner strikes here.
Here is a neat breakdown of Axel's fighting style , the guy is probably one of the most successful competitive longsword practitioners having won something like 50 international competitions against some of the best in HEMA.
I couldn't find too many videos on Sang Kim competing but he is youngest person to attain the rank of Rokkudan (6th degree black belt) in Toyama Ryu Battodo and he is the president of the US Battodo Federation.
