There's no ending in learning. After all these years I'm still training, trying to master the more precise timing of the secondary power generation.
Trying to cut twin PPR piping cored newspapers roll, simulating arm with twin bones, with Longship armoury 5160H exblunt Dadao and sparring cuts.

That would look nasty in reality.

I loved the first-person slow-motion shot. It tickled my muscle memory.

Thanks Makopat! The good thing I learned from cutting these PPR pipe is that I found that each of it at this diameter, equals to 3 wimpy chopsticks or 2 stronger chopsticks in strength and cutting difficulty. Then I started giving my students such target to cut to test their skill against an arm target. Maxwell gave it a try with his Longship Armoury 3V No Remorse Maxwell version.

Thanks for watching. I actually struggled for a long time to decide whether I should buy this cam again. I had one before but I broke the battery by always keeping it charged on the USB line, and also from impacts. In the end I bit the bullet and bought it again. I don't regret!

Which one do you use? I was thinking of getting a Go-Pro but after a little perusing of the web, it seems DB-Power EX5000 might be a better option, considering the amount of use and probable application.

I use Polaroid Cube +. Here's another test on such target, even bigger this time, to simulate upper arm and shin. I used Longship 3V No Remorse, since this is the sword my sparring RSW is modeled after. It cuts through with sparring cuts no problem. The 3V also held the edge much better than the 5160H, worth the cost!

Another student gives the forearm / upper arm target a try (4 thick chopsticks core).

Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks a lot. :D Hope your recovery is well! Here's another student doing the same difficulty target cut with LSA zhanmadao.

This is a compare test between twin PPR pipe cored and 4 chopsticks cored newspapers rolls. The PPR pipe one proved to be harder to cut. The PPR is harder on the surface than the chopsticks. The PPR also occupied more space in the roll so the feedback from the cut felt much "harder on impact".

After consulting with a friend who's a registered Chinese doctor, we've confirmed that single PPR piping is enough to simulate arm. The double piping I had been testing my skill on was more akin to thigh bone.
