Both are acceptable. I use a "static" stance, but my cuts move through the other guards, sometimes stopping, sometimes continuing, depending on the situation. If you stop a swing, say, in an "Alber" guard, thats fine in my opinion, you don't have to continue, you don't have to stop. Until the historical manuals state otherwise, that is what I believe I should do, and that is what I will do. Excellent job once again, you're doing a great service with your videos.
Great vid, 4/5 i only took the mark casue of that sound in the back ground, what is that anyway? Air con? I found it hard to hear you at times but other wise great job!
nice video 5 stars, ive always said that it is a good idea to know as many fighting styles as u can. It allows u to adapt to every situation and giving us these sword fighting styles gives me another option when swordfighting.
My opinion on static or flowing:

Sorry, I think it's a dehumidifier... :-(
BTW, these are pretty out-dated -- hoping to update them both in terms of content *and* production quality...
