I've soaked these matts briefly about 30 minutes and didn't have time to dry it due to rush circumstances
but honestly it was fun - and love to do more
please be patient with me 🙏 I'm s total beginner in cutting tatami so it might be cringey to see how I performed this session 😵

recommended by a fellow sword friends to try getting the bicycle stand that comes with a very useful clamp. surely enough it's relatively affordable than making a full blown dummy apologies there isn't anything profound with this video just testing out it's effectiveness as a training tool. but if you like long form training montage please enjoy

The 3rd or 2nd look closest to what my Sensei taught to me (he gave me some free starter lessons on sword safety, cleaning, fixing, plus beginner techniques such as finding how to correctly gently hold the sword, Suburi, Chiburi, etc., but he wasn't specific what type and I'm unsure which style of Iaido he practices since he's Korean and lives there but I don't speak any Korean and he only speaks a bit of English and mostly Konglish, but I know to keep my hand near my temple and I'm supposed to end with my sword kind of at like 30-40 degrees angle to floor upon finishing. Also, what is the type of Chiburi done by slapping the spine of the Katana kinda like they do it in the movies when someone is depicted to be a badass? Thank you, sir! 🙇🏻‍♂️ - Your fan, Eyesack Cuts

    For drawing, my teacher focus me on pull back the saya back more that pulling the sword out. Pull the saya back swift enough and the sword is free, then the right hand can initiate attack however direction as I want, combine both action for nukitsuke. The technique helps me so much I thought I should share. Other than that, it's a really nice video with interesting tips. I learned a lot from this.
