I believe Kensai is Japanese for "Sword Saint". The greatest Japanese swordsman was someone named Mushashi Miyamoto - the Kensai. He killed over 60 men in one-v-one duels, sometimes using a wooden stick, while the other guys used real swords. He is also the author of the famed "Book of 5 Rings".

Kensei

If you didn't pick it up, this is a quote from the Book of Five Rings by Musashi, which was referred to earlier.

 

"When you have mastered the Way of Strategy you can suddenly make your body like a rock and ten thousand things cannot touch you. This is the body of a rock."

 

Basically, this is part of almost a spiritual guide to his technique in fencing.

 

Besides that, I still want to see this demo.

Now that's pretty cool - I would have liked to see that.

 

You'd want to be good enough to back up in action any comments like that you make though, but from what you say - that certianly wasn't an issue.
