part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hy_A9vjp_s&feature=related

The documentary is in German but is well worth watching even for non German speakers.

The fighter featured showcasing both Katanas and longswords is Stefan Roth, who practices both Japanese swordsmanship and European swordsmanship (the latter at Arts of Mars) and is also a swordsmith, making both Japanese and European swords of great quality, which can be seen here: http://seelenschmiede.de/frameset.htm
