The fight scenes and in particular the swordfighting scenes in the two Kill Bill films are considered legendary and full of exciting action. The two films are characterised by the fact that they depict both Japanese and Chinese fighting styles.<\/p>

These ultimately meet the American way of life, which creates an interesting mix and provides variety. Director and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino has succeeded remarkably well in portraying the different cultures.<\/p>

As sword fans, we are of course particularly interested in the sword fight scenes from Kill Bill, so we took a closer look at the work of the film choreographers.<\/p>

Tetsuro Shimaguchi - The Japanese sword fighting master<\/h2>

Tetsuro Shimaguchi is one of a handful of sword-fighting choreographers worldwide and is generally regarded as one of the best. He was responsible for the final fight in Kill Bill Vol. 1. He not only trained Uma Thurman and Lucy Lui in Japanese sword fighting, but also played the role of \"Miki\" himself after convincing Quentin Tarrantino of his acting skills on set.
According to his own statement, the sword-fighting technique he uses differs from conventional choreography in that he actually touches the opponent with the sword, albeit in a weakened form. This makes his performances appear very realistic.<\/p>

Since his role in Kill Bill, Shimaguchis has made it his mission to spread samurai culture. For this reason, in 2012 he founded the performance group Sword Master Kamui<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. With this group, he demonstrates a mixture of classic and modern sword fighting techniques to the audience.<\/p>

If you want to learn how to fight with the katana like him, you now have the chance to take private lessons from the master swordsman in Tokyo. This video shows how:<\/p>
