thank you, this is a principle I was taught in the SCA, when I started cutting with live swords about a year ago I got the mistaken impression that I had been taught wrong. I also had a Bujinkan instructor who thought differently (but I knew he was shite with a sword). thank you sir for the wise words, please watch my cutting adjust yet again once my elbows heal.
Not at all,take the cut at 0:30 for example, you used your hips and body to cut with,your arm moved mostly after the blade cut through the mat, the result was a beautiful cut,minimize the arm movement and use your hips and body as much as possible,and that way it's also easier to maintain proper blade alignment.
I would love to hear more from you about that blade, who owns it, what their experience has been with it etc. I recently did a review of this sword on SBG and would like someone to come on the site and back up my views because so far I'm the only one to try a destiny blade over there. I love this little sword it rocks!
@Bookstop1337 yes this was straight out of the box.

Was it this sharp out of the box?

@Bookstop1337 personally, I am better at single handed cutting as I have had more training and experience in it.

How do you find the one handed cutting compared two handed?
