It may be the angle of the camera, but the shot looks like it's being done from a very short range, rather than an ideal range... it looks as though you're just about hitting the target with your basket hilt. I imagined the ideal zone to hit a person would be with the last third of the sword.

Other than that, awesome =).

It depends on what range you want to engage your target at. Sometimes Short range is good.

You might be doing it, but I feel it should be mentioned to those following your videos and teachings that you are breaking at the wrist over the shield. Most shields such as heats are flat on the stop and the hacking motion that you're portraying is playing directly in to the shields' strength. Even though I know you are, you should note that you're breaking at the wrist overtop the shield to hit the head. Great fighting, brother! In service to the EAST: Hassan Ibn Abd Al-Malik.

Thank you for the video. It's always a good shot if it kills the pell! - William de Faleston

I hear you're taking the challenge and we can look forward to 11 more months of vids? This is very cool to me because I've never seen anything like it.
