How good can someone be with sharp blades if they haven't practiced with them before? Well, let's find out... I met up with Sindri and Wataru, who both have quite a few years of Kendo training under their belt, to try some test cutting (or tameshigiri, if you will). With beginners I have to explain a lot of basics and make sure they're safe, but thanks for their experience those two were able to naturally pick up the swords, grip them effectively, and perform cuts safely. Obviously it's not quite the same as a shinai, but the same fundamentals apply. It was interesting to see, and lots of fun! Some noice slicey action right there. :) If you're interested in supporting the channel and getting bonus content like the extended, ad-free edit (24 min) of this video, become a channel member (click on “join“ right under the video) or sign up on Patreon.
