Shear speed: through training with heavy weights, but if your asking for the technique itself:
- Mind the cutting angle
- Step forward, never draw with forearms alone(transfer the weight from the left leg to right shoulder i.e: like you're about to fall forward)
- You get the extra "snap" from the draw by pulling the saya(scabbard) backwards with your left hand,i.e: 0:10, 0:26, 0:32 watch his left hand. And not just when draw-cutting but almost every time you wield your katana single-handed.

I need to ask this, how do you get the added momentum for the draw, mine aren't nearly that strong.

All beautiful cuts. The third cut of the mid air piece is always nice to see. A good display of hard earned skill.
