Sword Kata: Red Dragon

The sword is the 3rd weapon for the Zen Do Kai 4th Degree Grading. It is a required weapon to use, although the form and delta (fight scene) are created by the student. My sword free form is broken into three sections. The first section shows the 8 basic sword cuts. The second section shows the same cuts with more footwork. The third section shows attack and defence from multiple attackers.

The focus on the attacks is to do with slicing rather than hacking. All cuts are aimed at the major arteries and veins on the body.

The Grading was held at the Raiders NZ national camp on May 5th 2005.
