Tse Tsz Tun bought a pair of ZGB gladius to try on. The ZGB gladius from KOA was said to be sharper than before. Let's see how it works against my kind of targets and compare to a Lancelot-Sharp Hira Zukuri Katana. Cutting Targets www.lancelotsword.com/cutting-targets

It's still not very sharp, I would have abandoned it after the first cut! I hate the feeling of something not cutting well. Thanks for posting though. I wouldn't cut standing on one leg. It's bad form (you can't use your body to supply the impulse), and it's dangerous if you fall. Better to develop better technique and posture on two legs.

Do you understand why some people do push up with only 1 arm on 2 finger tips?

Do you understand why people injure themselves trying to support their whole weight on two fingers?
I don't think it's arguable that trying to cut on an unstable base is unsafe. This part of the forum is supposed to be safety conscious, but someone who tries to cut on one leg is liable to hurt themselves. I will report this to the moderators.

Tell me, why was Tun capable of cutting every single cut on the bony target that many people struggled even with good form and proper power? Tun was even capable of cutting free standing ones. This story is like I'm going to Bruce Lee when he's doing his very advanced training, and tell him face to face that the method he trains is wrong and dangerous, and he better go back to the beginner mode.

If he's wrong, it doesn't matter if he's Bruce Lee. If he was Bruce Lee, he wouldn't be doing foolish dangerous cutting. Plus, who buys a competitors sword then does a crappy job cutting with it, and posts it on a website as if it was somehow a reflection of the sword's quality?

I respect both you guys, but it's cutting in "Crane" stance as far as I can tell, if it's not safe, at lest it's traditional:
"With a broadsword, it may be used to shift back while brandishing or blocking...again, it is NOT a stance you stay in unless you are doing a routine and showing balance."
