Mountain Warrior Sword Evasion

After Sean showed how to use Ichimonji no Kamae to dodge a sword attack, we had Ira swing a padded sword at full speed. Out of 20 plus students, all but two or three were able to move out of the way the first time. For some it was their first time dodging a sword!

see , now i fight whit a trumendus amount of swords and i got one question.

what do you do in case of a side slash? whitch is just as common might i add.....

[owenspence]

If I may make an observation. I noted that the tori, while evading the uke's strike, led with his head, which may actually prove dangerous and it throws off the balance to the front and the whole body is not aligned. It also changes the trajectory of the evasion. If I may, perhaps it would be better to lead with the hips and let the body follow, allowing the whole body to be in synchronization.
