Thought so. He loosens up a bit after. Your training seems very structured. That's a good trait. Keep up the good work Tom!!! Maybe one day we could train together. I'd be training in iai, but we could still train. :)
Thank you for the compliment. Yes, some of my students will be participating in both the Combative Sword Sparring & the Tameshigiri competitions at the Arnold Sports Festival (Columbus, OH).
I have license to teach from both the World Kum Do Association & the All Japan Goshindo Federation. Kum Do through the WKA is Korean Kendo. The sword art of Goshindo is comprised of 3 tiers...
1. Kenjutsu - combatives using hatswari &/or padded weaponry
Nice, very nice. Your student I think, ot sure but had afew mess ups. I seen the Shinogiji maybe twice but he did a very good job. He has a damn good sensei.
Thank you very much for the compliment. I hope you resume your training someday.

Does he just look stiff or just nervous?

Yes & yes. This particular student is still a novice so his technique would reflect this.
When my students start cutting, it is done in a very controlled manner so as to ensure an acceptable amount of safety.
