James Williams, renown martial artist of the Bugei Trading Company in a full tameshigiri cutting demonstration. Tameshigiri is the practice of test cutting tatami mats with the Japanese sword. Tatami are straw mats, wetted and tightly rolled to resemble the consistency and resistance of a human limb. (In early Japanese times, the preferred cutting targets for tameshigiri were condemned criminals and cadavers.) This art takes years of practice and dedication to refine, and James Williams is a skilled artist, having trained for over 40 years in the martial arts. www.dojoofthefourwinds.com

Amazing, that Fricke sensei can cut and move like this at age 74! When in Japan he would recall how his sensei Nakamura Taizaburo could still cut at age 92 and so could all the seniors in their 80s. In comparison to them, Fricke sensei must to be considered a youngster.. Once, after class, Nakamura sensei said, "The best age for a swordsman is 65." What he certainly meant to say is, "To learn Japanese swordsmanship is easy, but will take a life-time to master."

This is an old video of Lok teaching me how to aim and get 45 angles you want with a different method. This method may apply on some but also not on some. I myself find it easier to reply on "feeling" then measuring and so. But anyway, Thanks LOK!!!

Created on July 24, 2011 About time I built a stand and started some cutting! I used a polishing technique from jeeperrandy on my SGC and bamboo mat katana (thanks for posting this great technique)....... Alas my tsuka has already split after only a handful of mat sessions on the paul chen bamboo mat, but to be honest I was not a fan of the silk wrap so a new tsuka project with a leather wrap is looming! Any advice on technique is appreciated...... Ha, I have a LONG way to go before any of my vids can stand next to Revan9729 ...... cheers :)

Hans Fricke sensei, a certified Nakamura ryu batto-do instructor from Sydney Australia, demonstrates that being 74 needn't be the end of ones martial arts activity. Many disadvantages brought on by old age can often be overcome by will-power, determination and an indomitable spirit; features that would also hold true of any genuine martial artist.

Recently i received another sword for testing from guys at Swordnarmory. Name of the sword in question is "Usagi" and it's from their own (Munetoshi) forge. Here's a short review: Koshirae are pretty straight forward,iron fuchi/kashira set, with a bamboo theme, brass menuki,white samegawa,black ito and sageo,made out of chemical fiber. Ito is wrapped in regular hineri maki style,and the wrap is pretty tight, every fold is alternated and hishigami were used so the diamonds look good. Iron tsuba is very nice,no rough edges that will peel your skin off when you practice like on most production made tsuba,everything is nice and round like it should be. Saya looks nice from the outside,unfortunately the inside is not carved out very good so the blade gets stuck from time to time during noto,that of course may differ from sword to sword. Now for the good part,the blade, to say that it's impressive would be an understatement,i currently have around 30-35 production made swords in my possession,at least that many passed through my hands over time,and this is one of the,if not the most active production made blade I have seen so far. The blade is forged from 1095 carbon steel,with a gorgeous choji midare hamon and tons of nie and ashi,but what impressed me the most was the utsuri,a beautiful mizukage stretches over the whole length of the blade, this was only the second time in my life that I've seen any kind of utsuri on a production made blade,and for a sword that retails for <b>...</b>

Real weapons are not used at the Doshikai Dojo, and this video explains why. Tameshigiri was developed for sword testing, not for competitions. This short clip and discussion is taken from a half hour program on Kenjutsu (Sword arts) as seen on the Barbara...And You! cable TV show hosted at Fitchburg Access TV.

Created on August 21, 2011 Testing out my new Yuki mat cutter I only had a handful of mats for today's cutting session, it took some getting used to handling such a light katana.. as my preferred cutter, the SGC is weighing in at almost 3 pounds!! This sword on the other hand is a mear 1.8 pounds so it felt lighting fast in comparison! I received it from sword n armory ... It didnt come in the greatest condition it has to be said, but the boys sorted me out a refund to cover the work needed ! i will upload some video's of the project once i get round to it.

Blade is Hung Shing TS only geometry,wih aggresive entry angle and very sharp edge,I dare to say the sharpest production katana out there today,we at HSTS do not really chop wood or fence,metal polls or metal objects,cutting weighted down milk jugs,or hack into trees to test our blades,we do single light bottle silent cuts,standing on top of a tatami to ck and see if there's any movement when cutting straight,indicating impacting instead of cutting,we also do static cuts on mats to ensure we have the entry angle dialed in, Our blades are meant to "cut",and we show it,not for hacking wood and dry bamboos,break to tear.we at HSTS want o provide blades for people to able to finally make that cut,instead of hacking Chop,lumberjacking through a target that flys everywhere
