Great video! I always find it hard not to turn on the heel of my foot.

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to remember how to do Happo Giri, and it turns out I was stepping wrong. Thank you!

Also happo undo with just hands. As you say the importance is the 8 directions.

I've seen that one also, at one of Tomita sensei's clubs I believe. I guess the important aspect is the eight directions, which often appears in martial arts (Pa Kua for example).

On one I learned, on the 6th and 8th we used a knock down as opposed to a cut, and a tsuki on 1, 2, 3, 4.

Real combat? Please post the video link of you demonstrating this, I'm sure we would all be very interested.

The technique shows the strikes being done too much with the arms instead of using the larger muscle groups. I have found it is best to use the abs and lower back to convince an attacker in a real combat to fall over.

@noloferratus I am looking forwards to seeing your video of this. Always nice to see someone defending themselves against a real attacker with a practise weapon. Can you tell us more about the experience? It sounds fascinating..
