Fencing with longsword student Unico who practiced kendo and fencing. He was very good and I had to do my best in this practiced with the adjusted "inch power" applications.

Interesting video, but I have some questions. What do the colored circles represent? Is the voice in the background some kind of judge or referee? What do the percentages (in the title of the video it gives a name then a number with a percent) represent?

Red=disabling the opponent without getting hit on oneself.
Yellow=disabling the opponent with light injuries received oneself.
White=double disable/kill

The percentage was the survival rate of each person.

The voice in the background count the round and notify if someone was hit.
