Our chief smith Zhou has been teaching me some cutting techniques for a while, well, we don't have a Kendo here tbh. Anyway, in this edition we happened to roll out our another budget line Nagamaki, so I use it as a tester to practice the tameshigiri. Enjoy and please provide some suggestions if you can. Thanks in advance, swords friends.

I think the rules permit critiquing of a manufacturer's form when cutting? I'm not an expert, but I think you're moving too far forward when cutting. My understanding is you shouldn't almost fall forward when you cut, you should maintain stability of your body. Shifting your body forward allows you to cut harder, but a parried blow will cause you to fall over. I think you're using your arms too much, the impulse should start in your body, then move to the sword through your arms. You have improved compared to past videos of you I have seen though!

I mean, he asked for critique. All I ask is we be polite and civil. 🤷♂️
