The blade Ueki used has a special geometry designed for cutting mats. It is thinner and sharper than an average katana. Therefore, it makes cutting mats a lot easier.

Since the edge is thin, it is also brittle and may most likely chip if used to cut a harder material. The real reason why Ueki demonstrates his blade on bamboo is to show that his blade, even being sharp and brittle, can withstand the hard force of bamboo.

bamboo=two human bodies is just BullShit from the host. RIP UEKI SENSEI!

A powerful weapon to be certain, but i disagree with his comparison of the material to 'two human bodies'.

While the hardness is worth considering, one must also take into account friction; the bamboo is hollow and much thinner in radius. One only needs a brief push of strength and impact to pass through compared to a body.

The human body would not only have friction from the internal structure being against the blade, but also from the weight of the body itself since the form is not rigid.

I googled "korean Jipdan" and all I found was strippers.

He didn't say the bamboo stick is equivalent to two human bodies, he actually said that the slash performed on the bamboo was powerful enough to cut through two human bodies. This video is aimed at praising the sword not the bamboo stick.

@RaiAntou he said "this cut is equivalent to cutting two human bodies." he was actually talking about the samurai slash not the bamboo stick.

@RaiAntou that's right... bamboo is actually used to represent bone in tameshigiri...
