>>64956430Yes, just like kendo is just Japanese fencing.
>>64956430No you fucking retard. Drawing a weapon quickly from a concealed or sheathed position is present in all cultures that have made weapons.
>>64956430That person's knowledge of iaido is limited to what he's seen in anime and video games.
>>64956431What is American kendo? Paintball? Airsoft?
>>64956461>What is American kendo?It would be fencing, but if you want an American-only art, then it's pugil sticks.
>>64956430Its funny that in many of these cowboy style shooting comps you can do well by completely ignoring all their gay leaning, posture and unholstering metas because most of them are lardasses that can barely waddle for a few seconds without getting winded
>>64956430how expensive is a rig to do quickdraw? gun and holster, and are you socially judged on the outfit and hat?every Iaido guy i ever talked to mostly talked about how expensive his instructor was to learn from and how much more expensive their outfit was. no joke more than one commented that their kimono was worth more than their assistant that was helping them in a demo. t. marital arts retard that used to tour and demo a lot.
>>64956461I think airsoft originated in JapanAmericans should get into Sumo though
>>64956430
>>64956494alright that's pretty fucking awesome ngl
>>64956488American football recruits all the would-be sumo guys.
>>64956476>You can finish in like 20th if you don't play the meta!Yeah, that's why you didn't win. They play the meta, they win. Simple as that. Is all the leaning and shit really gay? Sure, yeah, but that doesn't mean you'll ever win a competition if you don't do these things you deem to be gay. It's like shotgun rigs. They didn't used to be a thing, now everyone and their mother has to wear a rig for their shells because if they don't they stand 0 chance of winning. Winning is the goal, not looking cool.
>>64956517It's the same thing with Rugby. America would absolutely obliterate at rugby, but you'll never see it because NHL pays a trillion times better. The reason why you see a push for soccer in America right now is because it doesn't take from any of the major sports that exist in America, and there is already a huge fanbase in America they just aren't fans of American teams.
>>64956494fuark
>>64956466>theme from American Gladiator starts playing
>>64956476>the meta thing for one specific event only works for the one specific eventThis is why the people around don't respect you and think you're retarded.
>>64956494>/k/iddies dont recognize airsoftthis board fucking sucks
>>64956494not sure if super cringe or super cool
>>64956641For anything to be truly cool and not safecool or posturingcool, it has to be a little bit cringe.
>>64956430Can someone explain what exactly Wild Bunch Cowboy Action Shooting is?
>>64956528>Rugby.Give it a while. Money goes where interest is and Rugby is basically AF but better.
>>64956494
>>64956744Cowboy action shooting that allows 1911's and Winchester 1897's. Double action revolvers too, maybe. I never looked into it much.
>>64956637We did. There's nothing stopping someone from spinning real guns in a similar fashion.
>>64956777I believe some of them also allow Mauser rifles in place of a lever gun.
>>64956466>fencingNot even remotely american.
>>64956488We do and it shouldn't surprise you that we do we pretty good https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akebono_Tar%C5%8D
>>64956478In what context? There's really two worlds of this, there's the people who shoot purely for speed, like say Jerry Miculek, and then there's the cowboy-style quick draw, where style is a lot more important. Nobody really cares about your outfit in the former. However your outfit is important in Cowboy Action.
>>64956494Haven’t been impressed by a LARPer in a while.
>>64956494You're pretty good
>>64956494would be more impressed if the guns had triggers and not just smooth trigger guards for spinning
>>64957285Those did have triggers. SAA's have the trigger extremely close to the back and have absolutely no trigger pull. The only drawback is that you have to cock the hammer each time you pull the trigger.
>>64956521>It's like shotgun rigs. They didn't used to be a thing, now everyone and their mother has to wear a rig for their shells because if they don't they stand 0 chance of winning.Isn't the standard loadout for shotguns a full tube plus another full load on the buttstock/sidesaddle? Have I been rawdogging it this entire time because I didn't grab a piece of nylon that costs three digits and holds 20+ shells?
>>64957316heck to the fuck no.a full loadout for comp includes multiple stripper tubes that allow for a full reload within two seconds.If the tubes aren't allowed they've got full reloads stacked into purpose built racks that are extremely easy to extract (there's nothing holding the rounds in). Then they've got a stupidly complicated method where they hold five or six rounds between their fingers while still manipulating the gun. Remember Ash, from the evil dead series? If you thought his reload was fast then you're slow as fuck.
>>64957295no, those aren't guns, those are figgit spinners
>>64956430this looks like that fat guy that cooks food for his fellow fire fighters on youtube
>>64956430Whats the point of a "cowboy" shooting competition if its not about being like a cowboy at all?
>>64956494Birry the Kou
>>64956749> Give it a while. Money goes where interest is and Rugby is basically AF but better.They literally let American teams play American football in stadiums in Europe
>>64956434Yeah but nobody is watching Europeans rip their anal beads out like they're starting a lawnmower so lets just stick with six shooters and katanas
>>64957200in the context of what matters to the sport, iaido seemed to be more about outfit and prestige however there really isn't a timer to grade it on.
>>64956749rugby is not catching on in the USthe ruleset is too counter to football rules that Americans get angry and confused when someone tries to explain it
>>64957427Speak for yourself
>>64956752Japanese Cowboys are my favoritehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI97iuaAc3A
>>64957181Fencing is the equivalent of kendo in America, just like forks and spoons are the equivalent of chopstics, even though they are also not American. Your subhuman IQ-having nigger brain couldn't comprehend that, and for that, I apologize. I should have foreseen that a retard like you would come along.

>>64957181>>fencing>Not even remotely american.Doesn't matter whether they invented it, it matters whether they do it.
>>64957359There are more reenacting focused groups like NCOWS.
