Fake Sword Defense? (Skall Loses It)

Just about everyone has seen their fair share of bogus "martial arts" demonstrations with hyper-compliant ragdoll partners and whatnot. It tends to be even worse with techniques against armed attackers, be it knives or other weapons.
This is one of those cases... Too fake to work, too hilarious to not comment on. If you've never considered fighting a katana with a log or kicking a staff into the air to disarm a half comatose guy with another staff... well, here you go.
