Happo-giri, 8 Direction Cuts + Variations

[elvedrano]

Thanks a bunch - we use it in our iwama-ryu club, this video is great help to fill in the gaps when practising at home.

very nice, even though we don't train usin happo-giri in our club I tend to use it for solo practice. The hip turns I use involve me going under the sword as opposed to the sword going over me but that's the only real difference. Ilike to imagine that each thrust has actually penetrated , that way I wouldn't be able to lift the sword only drop myself under it.
