Epic Battle - The Exchange - Fencing and Swordfighting

The Most Epic Game of Chess Ever- The Exchange by Manifest Film.

So I've posted this once, but check out this second version of THE EXCHANGE, starring Machi Block and Yoshi Ando.
Share your thoughts-

Yoshi Ando is a very well known Japanese Actor in Hollywood. He's been in a lot of bigger movies and does great work.
This film piece was directed by Anthony Pietronomaco. In my opinion it's a masterpiece on swordfighting and swordfighting technique. While not everything in the choreography is orthodox, THE EXCHANGE is a fantastic blending of East vs. West swordfighting style. The white fencer is Machi Block (myself) trained in traditional fencing at Montana State University. I'm a gold medal winner in the Inland Empire division and have studied Epee, Sabre, and Foil.
The black kendo fencer is Yoshi Ando. He trains under one of the most well respected traditional Japanese sword fighters in Hollywood.

This was such a fun piece to try out. This version is edited as an Epic Chess Battle, as Fencing is often compared to mental chess.
