The katana is curved intentionally for slashing cuts, only one edge of the blade is even sharpened. It is not a primarily piercing weapon. Saying that they overuse slashing cuts is like saying European fencers overuse thrusts.

This Sensei is coming from the discipline of Aikido, studying under Ueshiba. Not the same as kendo. What they are doing in this video, is still practiced to this day. Kendo is not freeform, there are only 4 points you are allowed to make a point on, three are slashes(head, side, and wrist), one is a jab to the throat. Honestly it was the rarest of the attacks to deal with, and the only one that was really painful , as it would crank your head back, or slip around the guard and hit your throat.

Alright, you are replying to a 2 year old comment, but no matter. After further research, I would say that these guys are an older form of Japanese swordsmanship. Modern sport kendo is so focused on cuts that they have forgotten that they can thrust, much like modern sport foil forgot that they could cut. I like this video because it illustrates that at one point, the katana was used for both (although not as effective as straight sword would be)
