Ooooohhh... That makes sense. That being said, since this is a two-handed style of swordsmanship and the every day objects that could be used in this way are baseball bats, canes, short staves etc. I reckon that the blows would also have a devastating effect. If it's a rattan stick then I'd agree 100% but even a rattan staff would do more damage due to the extra power from the extra leverage and weight. What do you think? Definitely worth contemplating...

I think that your approach to training and teaching makes sense.

Keep up the good work!

Best,

This is one of my favor sword strategies - press and slide along my opponent's sword while moving in from the side. I like to feel where my opponent's sword is when I attack.

What do you think?

I can't watch the video because it's private, but, from your description, it sounds exactly like the fourth technique in my video.
