I seldom put out test cut videos where I do combo cuts, because I do not want to become a "flashy test cutter" and lost the practical application value of the exercise. However, being capable of executing left and right diagonal cuts combo with the correct path, edge alignment, accuracy, 3-steps-accelerations and top speed zone allocation, is very important in a 1 vs multiple opponents situation. So I did a test cut today with right and left combo, performed with a mixture of yin and yang power generation, with 3-steps-accelerations and with the high speed zone put on the target, to inspire the students to advance on their skill.
The newspapers roll target was cored with PPR pipe.

I cannot find reference to PPR pipe. It appears to be plastic? Possibly is it what is also known as PVC pipe?
Nice cuts.

I have my student in Guangzhou to bring it to me. PPR pipe is similar to PVC pipe but softer in touch, having a tad bit of wax feel on it. So making them better as cutting target. They mimick living bone quite well. PVC pipe on the other hand is harder and will shatter.

My student Wing Li managed to pull off a short cut on PPR piping cored newspapers roll target.

A good cut. I don’t think that I could do that. Is your student that good or is it your superior sharpening skills? Hehe. I couldn’t resist.

Walking combo cuts, cutting upper arm difficulty targets made of PPR piping and newspapers roll while walking through.
For those who are interested in how to make such targets, I've made an instructional video here:

Students test cut on PPR piped targets. Wing Li was experimenting with the minimum effort to cut such targets and despite the stand falling, he cut them very well.
Desun and Maxwell were using Longship Armoury swords.
MK was using cold steel grosse messer that I sharpened.
Anderson was the one cutting water bottles.
They all did good.

Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves. That did renew my interest in the grosse messer.

I do not have one nor have any immediate intention of ordering as I within this past week received a sword that I am still learning. And with the hassle and expense of importing that will be it for a while. Originally I was impressed with Thompson’s sales propaganda CD showing the grosse messer, to show how far back that goes, then lost interest.

Ahhh.... well, anyway, here you are, some students had difficulty with the said targets too. Not everyone of us could do it so easily. ;)
