  • Blunts and sharps handle very differently. Edge vs edge sharps stick whereas blunts slide. With sharps you can feel the type of crossing with your eyes closed, with blunts you can't. Also you should not put beginners to train with sharps because of the increased risk, and beginners are not at the level where the differences actually matter, so this is more for advanced students where the differences are actually beneficial for learning.

  • @furiber4 I'd imagine it teaches respect, absolute control, & trust due to the inate risk that even one mistake could result in serious injury, something you just can't get with a blunt (except the risk of broken bones I guess). Plus, full speed is good once you know what you're doing, but if you jump the gun one ends up making mistakes that become ingrained in ones technique requiring far more time to undo and re-learn than if you had just been patient to begin with. Full speed is fun though :D

  • Hello,

    I have to ask... what is the benefit of doing these sequences with sharps?

    I completely fail to see what the real benefit would be of doing this at this speed. In my mind would be far beneficial to to this faster and with intent. of course if that makes the practitioner feel unsafe blunts could be used instead

  • Please take this as an honest question. Why are you using sharps? Is there anythig you can do with sharps that you cant with blunt swords? Does it compensate for the risk?
