Test Cutting Clinic

Cutting tatami for feedback on, and validation of, technique. The workshop will begin with an overview on the methodology of test-cutting, progress to group exercises for optimize striking efficiency, and culminate with individual attention and feedback given to the student. Descending cuts (i.e. Oberhau) will be the primary focus, as the principles employed there can later be extrapolated to all other cuts. Those with more experience will also be given an opportunity to examine other cuts, and/or combinations of cuts. All levels of experience welcome.
Equipment necessary: blunt [training] sword; sharp sword (pending approval); tatami, stand(s).
