Katana vs. arrow

Here is an amazing clip showing a highly skilled Japanese sword master deflecting (cutting) arrows shot at him.

This is a an old Samurai art - obviously not for the faint of heart.

You can begin to understand how these elite warriors (correctly termed Bushi) were held in such a high esteem.

It goes without saying that there's a great deal of trust between father and daughter - the one shooting the arrows at him.

Like they say, don't try this at home kids!
