oh my. I'd have thought National Geographic would do some better research and would know better than to have that sweating karate geek rubbing an iaito around his body. sad, sad, sad. I'm going to go cry a little now

Think they asked Sensei Obata to do this, but someone said he found it "grotesque and silly, and refused." If that's what he really said, who knows. I would not be surprised, but its not too far from cutting the bodies of executed prisoners.  |

He sounds like a duck sometimes when he swings at the gel.

I would not be surprised, but its not too far from cutting the bodies of executed prisoners. I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd say a whole lot about what he said but I applaud him for his civility but question his reasons in studying these arts of warfare. But, too each his own. But I sure do enjoy his book, helps a lot. |

The show's producers gave him that sword. He'd somehow managed to convince them that it was a good accessory for his muscles. lol

what a complete friggin' nob head! And so is whoever did the research for this episode. That wasn't how you use a katana and what was with the sweaty body thing? I wonder whose bright idea it was to have mister sweaty and unco throw the blade up into the air and catch it again? The guy looked like a retarded version of someone attempting kenvert (don't blame me for the name).

Hey absilits, does this stuff ruin your pans, is it easy to clean up etc. I use pans that are not used for anything else. However its really not that hard to clean up. Basicly its just real thick jello, and if you use good cookware than soak it in hot soapy water and scrub clean. After it dries you'll be able to see if you missed any. It does make a mess if you happen to spill it while pouring, as it sticks to everything! Its still pretty easy to clean up though. Just takes a little time is all. |

Bad part is I have to wonder how many takes it took to catch it.
And I actually felt sorry for the gel. A swift kill is one thing, to hacked like that is just somehow..... sad.

Hey absilits, does this stuff ruin your pans, is it easy to clean up etc. absilits Karma to you for comming up with such a good idea!! I’ve got my first batch of ballistics gel setting in the fridge. Bishop, I mixed it in a large mixing bowl which I cleaned without difficulty, I just used warm water and washing up liquid. I suppose if you spilled it on your carpet it may be difficult to clean. |

My brother used to make a mess in the kitchen when he used gelatin to make a mohawk. Never knew it had a proper area of usage.  If you get it on hard, non-absorbable surfaces, best thing is to let it set and dry for a bit. Then you can just peel it off and clean the area with some soap and water. Anyways, sweaty-topless-guy was rather silly. In the beginning of the video he said you could split a man in two with one cut. He didn't even manage half-way through and that was even without anything representing bone in the torso. |

yeah on that splitting a man in half. that would be an impressive cut. I've heard the record from back in the day of tameshigiri being done on people was a horizontal cut through 7 bodies at the belly. I can't say this is true for sure but THAT would be a seriously impressive cut. if you can ignore the gore of it all.
