YouTube: samurai cut a baseball into the air at breakneck speed – La10.pe

Baseball is not a popular sport outside the United States, yet we all know how hard it is to hit a ball of this type with a bat. Imagine how difficult it would cut it in half with a samurai sword

. “It would have to be a samurai,” will answer innocently, dear reader of LA10 .pe. Indeed, in Japan a samurai demonstrated the skill required to cut in half a baseball that is on the air at full speed.

This is Isao Machii recognized master ‘I laido’, the martial art of the katana (samurai sword), who accepted this particular challenge. After measuring the speed of the machine throwing balls (161 km / h) a couple of times, the samurai made the cut, almost imperceptible to the eye.

It is necessary to watch the replay in slow video camera at the end of the court to see the full extent. The clilp already has more than 3 million after being uploaded YouTube last Tuesday of October 13
