@BigDummy23 Thanks Jeanry

On the down stroke it seems impractical. Is it a defense or an attack because I don't see how you could have much power on the way the wrist is twisting..

There are at least 3 different types of downstrokes in this video, so which one do you have trouble understanding? Feel free to provide a time index window for reference and I'll be happy to respond in more depth. As for attack vs. defense, I had hoped the text plates would have made it more clear, but in short, cuts with the long edge are attacks while cuts with the short edge are defenses (in these drills, anyway).

Very nice vids with concise and helpful direction. Well done on simplifying steps and guards.
