  • You have two separate philosophies. In sparring, you want to strike your opponent above all else. In cutting practice, you want to perform devastating cuts on tatami mats or whatever your target happens to be. They sometimes serve as antithesis to one another since strong cutting form prevents you from maximizing your extension and reach. But this being a blade, almost any form of contact would have stopping power. Although a stronger cut would be much more lethal.

  • god forbid they sink their hips into the cut and remember that they're trying to cut through their opponent, not give them a little love-tap. Oh wait, kendo isn't about cutting down your opponent it's about scoring points, my mistake.
